Rating for tour operator:

Put together a fantastic itinerary for us and which ran like clockwork from our first approach to them to every mode of transport, guides, planned trips and hotels. Cannot recommend Experience Travel Group highly enough as they were fantastic in all aspects .

Experience Travel provided an expert, efficient, bespoke service from beginning to end. We needed a little more than most from our holiday as I had been born in Sri Lanka and was on a mission to get back to where my life began! My dream came true thanks to many people both in this country and in Sri Lanka. Can't recommend Experience Travel highly enough.

Essential Sri Lanka - Deluxe by suejb, 8 Feb 2019

Memorable Sri Lanka

We spent a fantastic two weeks touring Sri Lanka. We had a brilliant chauffeur guide who helped us understand a little about this beautiful, complex country and really enjoyed cycling through sleepy villages, walking in misty hills and learning to cook hoppers and curry. Just wonderful.

Experience Travel Group really listened to what we wanted to get out of our holiday. Our agent asked detailed questions to help us narrow down our options and came up with good suggestions for us to think about. They devised an itinerary for us which was both fun and interesting and made all the travelling happen seamlessly. The information they gave us was clear and accessible and the Vamoos app which contained all our holiday information, was useful and informative. we would use them again.

Sri Lanka, practically perfect

Part tour and then beach stay at the end. Incredible country that we were privileged to see in many different ways through our guide and the other guides and drivers we met.

Experience Travel Group listened to what I wanted to experience and incorporated everything into our itinerary. They got the mix of accommodation just right, from the tent experience to the more superior hotel.

Private tour of Sri Lanka.

Touring around Sri Lanka: 10 locations in three weeks. Private chauffeur/driver for the first two weeks. Everything was superb: hotels, driver, food, itinerary.

Rating for tour operator:

We selected Experience Travel on the basis of experience and knowledge of Sri Lanka, together with their flexibility to change the itinerary according to our wishes. All this proved to be the case, and they made great suggestions of tours and excursions we could do.
