Excellent preparation. Great people on the ground and a real desire from everyone we met for us to have a good experience
Hi Keith,
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback and it's brilliant to hear that you had a great time in Sri Lanka! I look forward to hearing more about the trip.
Kind regards,

Excellent
We had a fantastic two week holiday touring Sri Lanka by car, bicycle and train. We visited many cultural sights and climbed Sigiriya, saw a great deal of wildlife, animals, birds and met farmers and saw crops being grown. Trekked through the tea estates in the mountains, experienced cities and country life, bustling and lively places and true tranquility.

Experience travel organised an excellent and varied itinerary for us to get to know the 'real' Sri Lanka with a mixture of cultural and rural experiences, safaris and treks.
I am delighted you has such a fantastic time. Best wishes Sara

A fulfilling and memorable experience
We had great experiences from street food tasting, dragon boat ride, cooking class and visiting elephant sanctuary. All so memorable hard to say what was favourite. Everything our tour operator helped us to organise was first class and ran all on time perfectly. All hotels were superb. It truly was a land of ‘wonderful’ Smiles as advertised.

David Gookey so helpful, from first contact. He was very knowledgeable and helped us towards a fulfilling itinerary. He was not pushy and was more keen we had a holiday to remember. He kept us up to date with everything on a regular basis giving us great confidence throughout. Nothing was too much trouble. If deciding to travel further afield in the future will definitely contact him.
Hi Annette
Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback. I'm so pleased that you and Martin had a great time with some wonderful experiences along the way and that you enjoyed the hotels too.
Best wishes, David

The before-travel service was excellent with full details and itinerary provided. We also appreciated the reminder emails ahead of travel. Our holiday had several sections to it with quite a bit of travel and tours; all ran very well with no stress or hassle. The quality of hotels was spot on with our expectation. The guides were super friendly, professional and spoke good English. Our agent helped us during the trip to add friends to a tour and to change flight seats. We felt very confident that we were getting all the help we needed. We have already recommended Experience Travel Group to our friends.
Hi Tracy,
Thanks so much for your feedback and for recommending us to your friends. Great to hear that you enjoyed the holiday and how well things went at each stage.

I highly recommend Experience Travel Group
We had a wonderful holiday, thanks fo Experience Travel Group. However, towards the end of our holiday I had the misfortune of falling and breaking my leg. Experience Travel were absolutely amazing. They had someone "on the ground" rush to our aid straight away, and there was always someone on hand to help us with difficulties and complications, and they "held our hand" throughout. I simply cannot praise them enough. Book your Sri Lanka holiday ...

Sri Lanka - a beautiful country with great people
First visit to Sri Lanka and glad we had used driver. A lot of travelling but the end result was worthwhile. Great weather, great hotels, lovely people and fantastic scenery. Each area visited was different but I particularly liked the Tea Plantation visit.
