Essential Sri Lanka - Deluxe by Saints, 28 Nov 2018
Holiday Rating:

Fantastic holiday in a beautiful country

3 weeks in Sri Lanka which incorporated a cricket tour (Sri Lanka vs England), tea plantations, cultural triangle, safari and finally a couple of days on a beach to relax and unwind! We had a fantastic time - quite a hectic schedule but we wanted to take full advantage of everything there was to see. Beautiful country - rich in history and culture. Lovely people, so warm and welcoming. One of the best holidays I've experienced

We cannot fault them from start to finish. They know the country extremely well and devised an excellent itinerary for us. The whole holiday went without a hitch - everything ran according to plan. Hotels and experiences were excellent - as were all the local ground staff. Friendly, helpful, professional, prepared to go the extra mile. Excellent service throughout. Highly recommend them

Hi Peter

Thank you for the kind words, I am absolutely delighted that you had such a good time.

It was a great pleasure to meet you in Sri Lanka and it is so pleasing that the rest of the tour went to plan too. Thank you also for your very kind contribution to the auction, I hope that Gwen enjoys the bat and ball!

I look forward to speaking to you soon.

Regards

Sri Lanka - everything we hoped for and more.

The cricket at Galle was the main draw for us but the diversity of this island, it’s food, people and fascinating mixture of religions and cultures will stay in our memories and hearts forever.

Rating for tour operator:

Experience Travel Group were excellent from my very first enquiry regarding the cricket to post holiday feedback. Taking into account our requirements they assembled an itinerary which met our varying needs, provided useful information before departure, had very knowledgable people on the ground in Sri Lanka and made us feel that our needs were paramount. I would have no hesitation in using them again.

Days I will remember all my life

This was the most perfect holiday we have ever experienced. The mix of locations, sights, hotels and personnel were just right. The temple complex at Angkor is an experience never to be forgotten. The tropical beaches and seas make me go aah every time I think of it and the afternoon spent bathing and feeding an extremely large but surprisingly gently elephant was very special.

Colours, Cricket and Culture

A splendid mix of two days at each of two test matches during two weeks on the island off Sri Lanka., An excellent way to see the life of this fascinating country from game drives including a leopard sighting to tea plantations and colonial life style. added to this the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic and a guide who knew everything about everything.

Everything worked - from pick-ups to visits at the best times of day and a schedule that neither rushed us or made us feel idle.
