Extraordinary Adventure in India
We had an amazing trip travelling overland from Mysoru to Kochi. We saw fantastic wildlife including many mammals and birds. We stayed in small intimate properties with the most wonderful staff. We felt privileged to meet so many lovely people. We travelled on the hill railway and walked in the Nilgiri hills. We had such fun on the houseboat especially the early morning canoe ride. We made great memories throughout the trip.

Experience Travel Group who devised a bespoke holiday experience for us. Ensuring we had excursions that took us to the usual tourist hotspots but also gave us a chance to see how the ordinary people live. They ensured that we were well looked after at every stage.
Hi Guys
Great to hear you had a wonderful trip.
All the best,

An Epic Adventure Across Southeast Asia
There were moments while I was out and about where I thought that everyone should experience this kind of mindful travel that Experience Travel organises as it is not backpacking where you tick off the standard party hot spots and it's not the typical cruise for tourists to visit the standards sightseeing destinations, but an experience where I really felt I get to know the countries, meet great people and do fun stuff that most people miss ...

Holly did an absolutely amazing job. She put this epic holiday together on very short notice. She asked a lot of important questions upfront, listened carefully to my answers and put a flawless trip together with action packed experiences, beautiful hotels, delightful surprises and a seamless infrastructure of guides, drivers and bookings that led to a holiday that didn't feel rushed while it covered so many experiences that it felt like I was away for much longer. It also felt like a responsible and immersive way of traveling. I learned so much about the countries, the people, the culture and the history of each country which I really enjoyed. I think Experience Travel is an outstanding Travel Agency and more people should travel like this as I really think it is the best way to explore a country and go on a trip of a lifetime.
Dear Sven,
Thank you so much for your kind words. We're so happy you had another great trip with ETG - and this seems to have been the best yet!
Thank you so much for taking the time to post this review, too.
Best,
Sam, Holly & The ETG Team.





Wonderful trip to Kerala
We had a guided trip to Kerala organised by ETG. We stayed in a variety of hotels; eco houses; adventure camp and a spice boat. The trip was amazing with excellent local guides throughout

Sarah at ETG did a great job of meeting our aspirations for the trip, taking account of our desire to see the "real" country and meet people and see the way of life. The itinerary was perfect for this. The local agents were excellent too and kept in touch throughout the trip and ensured that all the transfers, trips and guiding worked seamlessly.
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback! I’m so pleased to hear that the itinerary met your aspirations and gave you the opportunity to experience the real Kerala. It was a pleasure planning this trip for you, and I’d love to help with your next adventure whenever you're ready!





Experience organised the trip to our specifications, and succeeded in every respect!
Bird watching (our guide was a genuine expert), hiking (with a qualified and friendly hiking guide who took us off the beaten track), amazing hotels, and everything went like clockwork!

We had our own nominated lady at Experience who asked us in some detail about what we wanted to do, and what we did not want to do. The result was an amazing hotel that ticked all our boxes!
Thank you for your very kind feedback Rupert! Delighted that you had a wonderful first fling with Sri Lanka.
Hopefully it won't be too long until we help with your next adventure...!

Dear Amanda
Thank you for your review. We are pleased that despite the issues you mentioned, you had a fabulous trip. We are sorry we failed to deliver our usual level of experience.
As we have discussed, we have taken various lessons to ensure the issues never happen again, and we appreciate how you handled the situation. This ensured we could take those lessons and make efforts to make up for the errors.
Best wishes

Easy travelling
We enjoyed a more relaxed tour of Sri Lanka than most, staying at least three nights in any one place. It is the mountains and countryside that make Sri Lanka so special. The tropical coastline is lovely but can be matched in other countries.
