I can only keep using the word 'excellent'
Dear Judy,
That's really lovely. So pleased you had a great time in Myanmar. We hope that 2020 will be the year that Myanmar gets back on traveller's radars.
We very much hope we can help you again in future and please do recommend us if any of your friends wish to think about a holiday. We'd be happy to talk through the options with them.

Wonderful Laos
14 day holiday staying at Luang Prabang, Champasak and Vientiane using local guides/transport organised by our tour operator. We were able to meet locals and visit some places a little off the main tourist areas as well as some days to ourselves - accommodation, food and above all the people were wonderful.

Experience Travel did it again for us!!!
Hi Peregrine
I'm so pleased you had a great time returning to Myanmar and it was great to hear on the phone that all the hotels and guides (including the specialist birdwatching guide) were all faultless and everything worked like clockwork. We'd be delighted to arrange another holiday for you again!
Best wishes

Vibrant Vietnam
Our family including 2 teenage boys 15 and 18 spent an amazing 16 days in Vietnam. We started in Hanoi for 3 days, then spent 2 nights on a junk boat in the impressive Bai Tu Long bay which was incredible. We then flew south to Hue for a couple of nights and visited the historical Imperial City before driving to Hoi An where we spent 5 nights relaxing and exploring the preserved ancient town. We finished our trip with a few days in HCMC and ...

It was the second time that we have travelled with Experience travel. Previously they put such a fantastic itinerary together for Sri Lanka we knew we wanted to use them again for our trip to Vietnam. David was very patient and flexible and kept re doing itinerary until all the family agreed on the perfect trip. It was a good balance of activity, exploring, cultural experiences and chill out time. I cant wait until we can do another big trip to Asia and I know I will be contacting ETG again.
Hi Michelle
We're delighted you had another great family holiday with ETG and thank you for taking the time to leave this review. It was a pleasure to create a holiday that had the right mix of experiences and down time that worked for you all and it sounds like you have some great memories. We'd love you to travel with us again and hope we can tempt you with another one of our destinations!
Best wishes

The magic of Sri Lanka
We visited Sri Lanka for 18 days. It was excellent in every respect. ETG have a very close bond with the Sri Lankan people and ensure that your experience reflects daily life in this interesting country. We very much enjoyed our first visit to Sri Lanka.

Amazing trip to Sri Lanka and the Maldives

The accommodations were perfect and due to their knowledge of the properties we felt like we had the best rooms in the places we stayed. Our driver Chamin ( in Sri Lanka) was ...

Our driver Chamin ( in Sri Lanka) was very professional, knowledgeable and friendly. He was very open to what ever we wanted to do and happy to accommodate us. He went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and make our experience the best possible.

Very impressed with their local knowledge. Spent time finding out what we enjoyed doing as a family, itinerary was perfect. Experience Travel Group kept in regular contact after the Easter Sunday atrocities, we felt very well informed and satisfied with the options given, and so pleased we decided to go ahead with our holiday.
Dear Karen,
That's so great to hear. I know our local guides and team in Colombo were so pleased that you, along with other families, decided to go ahead with the trip. We're so pleased you had a wonderful time and are pleased you made that decision.
We're glad you felt well informed too - it was a difficult time and we did our absolute best to ensure all of our clients were fully up to date of the situation.
Thank you again. Please do recommend us to others if the chance arises!
Kind regards,

Dear Graham,
Wonderful to hear you had a brilliant time. We're so proud of our team of chauffeur-guides and agree - they make the holiday as you say. We'll be sure to pass on your comments.

Temples, Volcanoes and Dragons in Indonesia
We had a fabulous 3 island holiday in Indonesia, visiting Java, Bali and Flores. We had an action packed agenda with many early starts to see sunrises (or avoid the traffic!) and amazing views from temples and mountains. We were immersed in a completely different culture and walked with the famous Komodo dragons! We travelled by plane, train, car and boat and stayed in some luxurious hotels too.
