We have used experience travel on five occasions and feel they have a great understanding of the Far East market. They produce great itinaries and a really good personal experience

An individually designed itinerary

Excellent tour of Tamil Nadu covering most of the main points of interest at a relaxed pace. None of the places we stayed at were disappointing. Ambience,accommodation,staff & food all very good It was also enhanced by having an excellent driver who was full of information, often stopping off to show us round local markets etc. We very quickly developed an excellent rapport with him & enjoyed his company.

This isn’t the first time we have used Experience Travel & every time they have quickly understood the type of experience we are looking for & helped us arrange an excellent holiday. Will certainly be contacting them soon to start planning our return to India next year

Cambodia Explorer by Ecosselisa, 15 Mar 2018

A fully bespoke and unique adventure!

From the minute we landed in Cambodia, we experienced exceptional service, via knowledgeable guides and attentive staff. Boutique hotels provided unique locations (and the occasional oasis of calm) from which to relax whilst exploring the local sights. It's difficult not to marvel at Angkor Wat or Tonle Sap. But the richness of this holiday came from meeting real people, doing everyday things in a diverse environment a million miles from our ...

From the minute we landed in Cambodia, we experienced exceptional service, via knowledgeable guides and attentive staff. Boutique hotels provided unique locations (and the occasional oasis of calm) from which to relax whilst exploring the local sights. It's difficult not to marvel at Angkor Wat or Tonle Sap. But the richness of this holiday came from meeting real people, doing everyday things in a diverse environment a million miles from our daily experience in the UK. This holiday put us into sensory overdrive and we can't wait to explore the continent again!

Rating for tour operator:

Experience Travel Group were very knowledgeable and made every effort to understand what we wanted to achieve during this trip. All communications were timely and effective. The quality of the final 'product' confirmed to us the extent to which ETG research carefully and select quality partners to work with across Asia.

A wonderful authentic experience

Our itinerary was well put together and all the arrangements worked like clockwork. Along the way, we savoured an authentic experience of Sri Lanka.

Sri Lanka the most beautiful island in Asia

We travelled to Sri Lanka on a highlights tour. This was the first exotic holiday for a while so we were slightly apprehensive. There was no need as this was the most beautiful varied and interesting island to visit and completely safe. We had had a wonderful time and would visit again to visit other areas of the island. Our highlight was joining in a Poya Day celebration in Colombo on our last night. Elephants, dancers and rhythmic drummers ...

Extremely enjoyable holiday

Very interesting to learn about the history of the country and the ruins in the cultural triangle. Also the different crops grown in various areas of the country. The accommodation was of high quality and the staff were very helpful. Also interesting to learn about the dreadful damage the tsunami did and how the people are recovering from the losses of life and destruction to the buildings.

Incredible India

We visited New and Old Delhi, Agra, Jaipur, Fort Barli, Pune and Goa. Everywhere we went was a different experience and so interesting to learn about another country's culture and customs. The food was tasty and you didn't have to eat anything too spicy. We had a driver for the first week and several different guides who helped us to explore the different cities and to make the most of our time there. We had a good mix of sight seeing and down ...

We visited New and Old Delhi, Agra, Jaipur, Fort Barli, Pune and Goa. Everywhere we went was a different experience and so interesting to learn about another country's culture and customs. The food was tasty and you didn't have to eat anything too spicy. We had a driver for the first week and several different guides who helped us to explore the different cities and to make the most of our time there. We had a good mix of sight seeing and down time so we didn't end up too frazzled by the end of the holiday. It was a good idea to have a few days relaxation at the end of the trip to really unwind. An amazing holiday.

Rating for tour operator:

Experience Travel were extremely efficient in booking our holiday. All travel arrangements went very smoothly and we were met by an agent at each stage of our journey around India. Nothing was too much trouble. We had specific needs and these were noted and accommodated.
