Wow !!

Sri Lanka proved memorable for it's varied experiences from national parks/safari, cultural/historical sites, tea plantations and the coastline. The regional cultural differences in the villages, towns and cities as well as the excellent food together with friendly and hospitable locals made it a trip which we are sure will prove difficult to beat in the future.

Sri Lankan Family Adventure by Kate O, 25 Apr 2018
Holiday Rating:

a 16 day tailor made itinerary around Sri Lanka to suit a family of 4 with 2 teenage boys

We had a fairly packed itinerary in that we stayed in 7 properties across the 16 days, but it didn't feel like too much at any point. We stayed in luxury, eco-lodges and a house made entirely of mud with no electricity and walls open to the elements. We went rafting, tea picking, rubber tapping, bird watching, cycling, swimming, took a train, and went surfing but also had time to just relax and enjoy incredible scenery. We have tales, that as ...

Experience Travel are by far and away the best travel booking experience I have had and I go abroad 3-5 times a year. Their consultant, Lauren Boyd was exceptional - her communication, her desire to get our itinerary just right for us, her attitude, despite my endless questions and changes, and her knowledge and experience. Experience Travel seem to want the customer to get the right holiday - not just get the booking and shoe horn me into a ready made itinerary that they have done 100's of times before. This takes time - and Lauren always seemed to have time for me and my booking.

Hi Kate

Wow, thank you so much for the very special words. What you describe is exactly the experience we are trying to create, both in the planning stage and during the holiday itself. It is so satisfying to hear when we are successful!

Lauren is currently away but will be back in a couple of weeks and I am sure will be in touch to hear all about it.

Regards

Superb from beginning to end

An excellent two and a half week tour of Sri Lanka, superbly put together and coordinated by Experience Travel. I would thoroughly recommend this responsible, professional and well organised company.

A very professional, flexible and knowledgeable organisation.

We had an 18 day tour of Sri Lanka including Colombo, the cultural triangle, the Highlands, Udawalawe National Park and the south coast of the island. We had an amazing time.

Experience Travel Group organised the holiday for us. From start to finish everything went like clockwork. During the holiday it was obvious to us that without their specialist knowledge and contacts the holiday would not have been as good as it was.

Kerala and Sri Lanka experience

We had specific aims and to achieve them our holiday was individually tailored. We wanted to understand the food, culture and. People of Kerala and Sri Lanka. Our holiday gave us the opportunities to achieve our aims. We have learnt about both places and have a great set of photos to support our memories.
