Off the beaten track
Stayed in excellent , mainly local hotels, avoided tourist hotspots at peak times. ETG has a wealth of local knowledge which you would not get from one of the large tour operators

A Southern India experience
We did a flying visit to Muscat and should have stayed longer. Kerala was wonderful - the food amazing and the colours are an amazing assault on your senses. No beige to be seen. The cruise on the rice boat for two nights is a must and we were very fortunate to see tigers on two of our four safaris in Nagahole National Park. Mysore is a beautiful and the City Palace an incredible place to visit.

Our tour was arranged by James who we had visited in the office and he spent a lot of time finding out what sort of things we enjoyed doing and the level of accommodation we were expecting. He was therefore able to plan an itinerary for us which suited us perfectly and because of his personal knowledge of the area, including the accommodation, we were confident about his recommendations. The guides all had excellent English, were helpful and knowledgeable and the drivers were careful and we felt safe in their hands (an essential requirement in India). We were very well looked after and it all went without a hitch.
Dear Maggie
We're delighted you had such a great trip to Oman and South India.
Thanks for taking the time to write this lovely review and for chatting through with me on the phone about the highlights.
Look forward to organising your trip to North India later in the year.
All the best
James & ETG

A trip of a lifetime
Our visit to Sri Lanka far outweighed any other trip we have taken. It was extremely interesting and each place we stayed in had its own special charm Hats off to Experience Travel

Fantastic holiday in Southern India
What a fabulous holiday we had In Tamil Nadu and Kerela. We stayed at 3 homestays and 2 hotels. One homestay in particular, Neelambari was just superb. Beautiful gardens, delicious vegetarian food, interesting excursions and the most delightful staff. Our stay at the Taj Savoy in Ooty was fabulous too. This is high up in the Nilgiri Hills where it is somewhat cooler than on the plains. Again fabulous food and drinks plus staff who were professional ...

The Botanic Gardens and the toy train ride made the holiday very memorable.

James at Experience Travel was so helpful from the very start of organising our holiday. He tailored it to specifically meet our wishes of places to visit, the accommodation we wanted and our budget. Their sister company in India, Rithu, kept in touch every step of the way. Our guides were lovely and our driver Prabash, was fantastic! Thank you to everyone involved.
Dear Meg,
Thank you so much for your kind comments. So glad to hear you guys had such a fantastic trip and enjoyed the variety and relaxation rural India has of offer.
Stay safe,
James & The ETG Team
