A brilliant adventure
Decided we wanted to do more than just go to Bali so asked for something different and some travelling around, and what an adventure it turned out to be . Went to Java and traveled around there. Highlight climbing the Ijen volcano in East Java a fantastic experience with our very experienced guide Teguh . Before that we had the very friendly Yan another great guide who showed us around West Java. Did some bike riding which was great fun. We ...
Decided we wanted to do more than just go to Bali so asked for something different and some travelling around, and what an adventure it turned out to be . Went to Java and traveled around there. Highlight climbing the Ijen volcano in East Java a fantastic experience with our very experienced guide Teguh . Before that we had the very friendly Yan another great guide who showed us around West Java. Did some bike riding which was great fun. We traveled over to Bali and visited a few different places. Then off to Sumba a magical and intriguing island you’d have to visit to know what I mean! The review I gave the hotel we stayed in which was beautiful and called Cap Karosso was titled “ A hard place to get to but a difficult place to leave “ The whole trip was a great mixture of adventure , culture and lovely hotels , the Indonesian people were great, couldn’t do enough for you This was all overseen by the brilliant Nova who was our contact in Indonesia. He was always available for us if needed and did a great job

Ella made a wonderful itinerary for us, she had listened to what we wanted from the trip and that’s exactly what we got . We were off the beaten track a lot of the time and were glad we were not always in the usual tourist spots! Each hotel was excellent and some very interesting too
I am so pleased you had such a wonderful time - you were up for plenty of adventure and it was great fun putting the trip together for you both.
Thanks so much for such lovely feedback - I can't wait to see where you head to with us next!





The wonders of Tamil Nadu discovered
The holiday was our best yet visit to India and the choice of hotels and excellent service we received everywhere we went was exemplary. You took your extensive knowledge of Tamil Nadu and brought it alive for us - we could not have asked for more.

They understood the type of holiday we were hoping for and made it a reality. There was always someone there to help and guide us and everyone was super responsive.
I couldn't be more thrilled Laura, as you know - Tamil Nadu is one of my favourite regions and it was such a pleasure working with you on this adventure! I look forward to planning the next... Lola

Lovely to put together another trip with you to ensure you got some winter sun.
Glad to hear it, and we can't wait to see where you go next.

Experience Travel listen to what you want and then put together a bespoke holiday. The attention to detail is fantastic and after four holidays with them they know the sort of thing that we are looking for.
Thank you for your feedback, Andrew. I am delighted that you had such a lovely relaxing time in Kerala. And your fourth holiday with us was a success! I look forward to arranging your fifth holiday with us.
best wishes Sara and ETG Team

ETG were attentive to our needs, imaginative and they have a wonderful ethos/brand that we could see whilst we were travelling. Very highly regarded in Sri Lanka
Thank you so much for your kind feedback Nigel. We are so happy to hear that you had a wonderful holiday in Sri Lanka!





Fantastic exposure to Vietnam from North to South
An amazing introduction to life in Vietnam exploring the history, cultural and food differences in North, Central and South Vietnam. Good immersion into local family life by staying in a homestay and sampling wonderful home cooked food. Every detail was taken care of so we could immerse ourselves into the holiday and not worry about getting from A to B and knowing we were in safe hands with all our adventures.

Experience Travel are a great operator, we have used them before as they really tailor the holiday to meet your individual requirements and will suggest activities that would work well and add to the whole experience. With Experience Travel you can focus on enjoying the holiday, knowing that you are in safe hands with logistics and activities and no nasty surprise hotels
It was great fun working on this trip together and you were open to such a great variety of activities - I'm so glad you had such a good time!
We really appreciate your feedback, and look forward to hearing about your next adventure in Thailand too.





Extraordinary Adventure in India
We had an amazing trip travelling overland from Mysoru to Kochi. We saw fantastic wildlife including many mammals and birds. We stayed in small intimate properties with the most wonderful staff. We felt privileged to meet so many lovely people. We travelled on the hill railway and walked in the Nilgiri hills. We had such fun on the houseboat especially the early morning canoe ride. We made great memories throughout the trip.

Experience Travel Group who devised a bespoke holiday experience for us. Ensuring we had excursions that took us to the usual tourist hotspots but also gave us a chance to see how the ordinary people live. They ensured that we were well looked after at every stage.
Hi Guys
Great to hear you had a wonderful trip.
All the best,

An Epic Adventure Across Southeast Asia
There were moments while I was out and about where I thought that everyone should experience this kind of mindful travel that Experience Travel organises as it is not backpacking where you tick off the standard party hot spots and it's not the typical cruise for tourists to visit the standards sightseeing destinations, but an experience where I really felt I get to know the countries, meet great people and do fun stuff that most people miss ...

Holly did an absolutely amazing job. She put this epic holiday together on very short notice. She asked a lot of important questions upfront, listened carefully to my answers and put a flawless trip together with action packed experiences, beautiful hotels, delightful surprises and a seamless infrastructure of guides, drivers and bookings that led to a holiday that didn't feel rushed while it covered so many experiences that it felt like I was away for much longer. It also felt like a responsible and immersive way of traveling. I learned so much about the countries, the people, the culture and the history of each country which I really enjoyed. I think Experience Travel is an outstanding Travel Agency and more people should travel like this as I really think it is the best way to explore a country and go on a trip of a lifetime.
Dear Sven,
Thank you so much for your kind words. We're so happy you had another great trip with ETG - and this seems to have been the best yet!
Thank you so much for taking the time to post this review, too.
Best,
Sam, Holly & The ETG Team.
