Malaysia adventure and Borneo paradise.

A fabulous itinerary organised to see both the east and West of Malaysia by Experience travel. They found an absolutely paradise island in Borneo to spend our relaxing week in.

James was extremely helpful and innovative in organising a holiday for myself and three children and my husband with MS. He was patient and efficient when discussing our ideas.

An excellent insight into Cambodian history and culture.

A multi- centre tour of Cambodia, taking in ancient temples, modern cities and beautiful countryside. Excellent hotels and knowledgeable guides made it a truly enjoyable experience.

Experience Travel were excellent at listening to our holiday likes and dislikes, and planning a suitable itinerary. Our travel consultant Becky was always very quick to respond, and has an excellent knowledge of the country. All the arrangements went very smoothly.

Hi Debbie,

Thanks for your feedback and kind words. Cambodia is an often overlooked country so it was a pleasure to put together such an exciting two week trip there.

Thank you as well for travelling with us for a second time, hopefully we can help with many more holidays for you in the future.

We booked our tour through Experience Travel Group and Becky was our contact. From the very beginning their attention to detail was outstanding and they really made me feel like we were the only tour they were working on. I would definitely use them again for another trip.

Fantastic personalized vacation in Sri Lanka

16 days with 4 nights in the cultural triangle, 3 nights in the tea country, and ending with 7 nights on the beach south of Galle. We had two activities each day in the cultural triangle where we visited fantastic ancient history sites, had a half day safari, and visited local farms without feeling rushed. With a personal driver/guide, the busy first part of our vacation was still completely free from stress. The service at all the hotels ...

16 days with 4 nights in the cultural triangle, 3 nights in the tea country, and ending with 7 nights on the beach south of Galle. We had two activities each day in the cultural triangle where we visited fantastic ancient history sites, had a half day safari, and visited local farms without feeling rushed. With a personal driver/guide, the busy first part of our vacation was still completely free from stress. The service at all the hotels was outstanding. The food was excellent everywhere and the local curries were particularly well suited for my vegan wife! The people were very friendly. At one famous temple we were invited to eat lunch with a Buddhist monk. On Christmas day, we took a bike ride through the tea country and throughout the ride, we received friendly waves and greetings of “Hello” or “Merry Christmas” from dozens of people on the sides of the road and from people passing us both directions in Tuk-Tuks.

Rating for tour operator:

The personalized itinerary met our needs perfectly as we saw everything we wanted to and more while minimizing hotel changes. Our driver/guide was the best as he had excellent English and in depth knowledge to share. Everything worked as planned and the service was outstanding throughout.

Well organised enjoyable experience in Rajastan

10 days in off the beaten track Rajastan, as an individually tailored experience with Experience Travel was great. No hassle, really well organised, and excellent accommodation in beautiful surroundings. Seeing leopards in the wild was an absolute highlight!

We travelled with Experience Travel, who helped us to put together a private itinerary based on our interests. The communication was excellent, as was support from the local travel company in India - Vasco Travel.
