Sri Lanka Laid Back - Deluxe by Telma, 7 Apr 2025
Holiday Rating:

Sri Lanka made (very) easy!

Sri Lanka was a delight. We loved having rice and curry three times a day, the people couldn't have been more welcoming and the country is a feast for the eyes wherever you turn. It was terrific to see tourism getting back on its feet after the many setbacks Sri Lanka has suffered, and we were glad to do our small bit by visiting and spending there. The unique experiences ETG provided really brought the country to life – the Land Rover tour ...

Sri Lanka was a delight. We loved having rice and curry three times a day, the people couldn't have been more welcoming and the country is a feast for the eyes wherever you turn. It was terrific to see tourism getting back on its feet after the many setbacks Sri Lanka has suffered, and we were glad to do our small bit by visiting and spending there. The unique experiences ETG provided really brought the country to life – the Land Rover tour of Colombo, time at The Mudhouse, the exclusive village experience, our safari and staying at Tree Tops, and so on.

Rating for tour operator:

We had a superb time with ETG in Sri Lanka. From the planning through to booking, the lead-up, arrival, all the ground arrangements, the activities, experiences and highlights, we really didn't have to think about a thing thanks to ETG's expertise and the care taken to personalise our itinerary. It was the longest and best holiday we've ever taken.

Tigers and the Himalayas

We had a bespoke tour to Jim Corbett park and then up to Nainital and Binsar. The travel arrangements were excellent,and having the same driver throughout made it so much easier.

Lola at ETG came up with a great itinerary for us, and tweaked it when we needed to slightly alter the dates. The accommodation and travel arrangements were excellent and the driver and tour staff in India were brilliant.

Indian culture and Andaman relaxation

We headed to the andanan islands for 4/5 nights to relax and enjoy some snorkelling in the beautifully clear waters.

We headed to the andanan islands for 4/5 nights to relax and enjoy some snorkelling in the beautifully clear waters. We then experienced culture, incredible architecture, travel chaos, friendly village families travelling from Delhi, via Agra to Jaipur. Known as the pink city, we visited a Hindu temple, the palace, observatory and forts. A very early morning bike tour was well worth it. We were really lucky to be in Delhi for holly holly, so the atmosphere was buzzing. The Taj Mahal in Agra was one of the most beautiful buildings that we have ever seen. Far more beautiful than any photograph!

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

Rating for tour operator:

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

In Depth Tamil Nadu by Tamil adventurers, 18 Mar 2025

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.

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.
