Exploring Thailand

17 day experience that took us from Bangkok, to Kanchanaburi and from the Golden Triagle to Koh Samui, staying in interesting smaller hotels and resorts. Our very personalised itinerary included all of the things we love, especially getting close to nature. This included several experiences that I doubt we would have been able to find for ourselves. Having local guides and drivers really enhanced the experience for us.

From start to finish ETG went out of their way to customise our holiday to ensure we have a unique experience. Although we had a minor problem with a part of our itinerary we were impressed by how quickly and efficiently ETG recovered the situation.

A great tour in a fabulous country

We have just returned from a wildlife-based tour of parts of Sri Lanka. We had brilliant guides and drivers throughout, helping us to experience scores of beautiful birds, lots of animals - including the elusive leopards - beautiful landscapes...and a few killer and blue whales for good measure! Great hotels, with good food and wonderful staff too.

Experience Travel Group were excellent. They helped us move from vague ideas of wanting to see wildlife in SL towards a detailed itinerary which gave us exactly what we enjoyed and the kind of accommodation that was right for us.

Hi Stella & Lesley

Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. I'm delighted you had such a brilliant time exploring the wildlife of Sri Lanka; your sighting of the leopards sounded particularly special!

I very much hope we can help you with another holiday to Asia in the future.

All the best

A Different Side of Rajasthan by Norfolk girl, 17 Feb 2020
Holiday Rating:

Fabulous locations and great experiences

A mult-location trip to Rajasthan and Goa, with a welcome whistle-stop tour of Muscat, Oman, which was stunning. Rajasthan, as ever, is amazing and so interesting. We really enjoyed visits to the iconic sites such as Jodhpur Fort and Musuem and the City Palace, Udaipur. In contrast the wildlife experiences and visit to the Bishnoi peoples was very special.

Dear Sally,

While overall you had an excellent trip, I am sorry you experienced a few glitches this time around, especially considering this was your fourth trip with ETG.

Thank you for bringing them to our attention so we can ensure that we improve and get back to a perfect 5* review. I know that we are in touch directly with you about this.
