A delightful two weeks in Sri Lanka
A mix of culture and history, countryside and wildlife (including the elephants!), vibrant cities and delicious food

Really knowledgeable about Sri Lanka, the places to stay and the things to do. Efficient, helpful, friendly people both in the office and in Sri Lanka.
Hi Caroline,
Thanks for taking the time to give us your feedback. It is great to hear that you and Colin enjoyed Sri Lanka so much.
Best,

wonderful relaxing but exciting holiday
Wonderful holiday booked only a week before we travelled ! We enjoyed all 6 of the places we had booked and for different reasons. Luxury accommodation, fabulous surroundings, views, swimming pools and some good food. We were looked after exceptionally well at every place and everyone so friendly. That's what we like about Sri Lanka, it's the whole experience, the countryside and the animals and the friendly faces, just love it !!

ETG helped with itinerary and arrangements went smoothly for the most part. We would have liked to have had a detailed breakdown of costs pre holiday.
Hi David
Thank you for your kind words, I am delighted that you had a good holiday.
I understand your comment in regards to a breakdown of costs and we are always very happy to discuss the general breakdown to help you make decisions on where you could make savings. However, we don’t break our prices down to the minute level as behind the package price is a complicated web of exchange rates, taxes and micro costs such as guiding fees, entrances, mileage calculations, bonding and more.
There is more details on this on our website - https://www.experiencetravelgroup.com/info/common-questions - but I would also be very happy to discuss this in more detail over the phone, if you would like to do so.
Kind Regards

Sri Lanka Tour exceeds expectations
Something for everybody in Sri Lanka. Personal chauffeur/guide looked after us and made sure we sampled some of the more exotic foods. Good mix of monuments, temples and natural phenomena. Very interesting tour of the country, ending in Colombo.

First time with Experience Travel Group. They delivered everything you'd want from a travel company both before and during the holiday. Their local Sri Lanka rep was also very effective handling minor change of plan. Terrific local chauffeur/guide.
Hi Peter,
Thanks so much for your great feedback, I am so pleased you enjoyed your trip. It sounds like you really got on well with your guide! I will make sure to pass this onto him, I am sure he will be thrilled to hear your feedback.
It was a pleasure putting your trip together for you,

Wonderful Keralan experience
Spend 9 days in Kerala as a group of six. 3 nights at the Secret Garden Fort Cochin, 2 nights at the Windermere Estate Munnar and 3 nights at the Marari Beach Resort Mararikulam. We had a packed itinerary organised by the Experience Travel Group, with a minibus and driver and guides throughout. This ranged from visiting the bustling spice market in Kochi; trekking through the tea plantations; cultural events and; a houseboat trip around the ...

We had a packed itinerary organised by the Experience Travel Group, with a minibus and driver and guides throughout. This ranged from visiting the bustling spice market in Kochi; trekking through the tea plantations; cultural events and; a houseboat trip around the Keralan backwaters. It was a memorable experience for us all.

The Experience Travel Group took the time to find out what we liked to do and the things we wanted to see. We could not fault their organisation and all of the local guides and reps were a credit to them. Everything just worked and exceeded our expecatations. We were made to feel very special.
Thank you Bill for your kind review. I am delighted you all had such a lovely memorable time. Best wishes Sara
Thank you Bill for your glowing feedback. We are very proud of our team and its great to hear all ran like clockwork as it should, despite the challenges in India! Best wishes Sara





A Perfect Tailor-made Holiday to the Golden Triangle in India
Delhi - Agra - Jaipur in 10 days. My parents (ages 74 and 79), my sister and I. The trip was planned and organised only a few weeks in advance and during UK holiday season. Still, everything was perfectly taken care of ! Hotels that were an experience in themselves, a great driver and car, amazing guides, tours and activities. All was as described, and great care was taken to comply with all our big and small requests. Despite the short notice, ...

We have nothing but praise for ETG. It is no coincidence that this is our fifth trip with this company. They are reliable, super efficient, patient and their implementation is on the spot ! Special thanks to Sara Wells, for planning this specific trip for us, to the last detail. All our travels with ETG have been memorable and special experiences !
Dear Michal,
We're so pleased that you had a great holiday in India along with your parents and sister. We're very proud that you have chosen to holiday with us no less than 5 times! I'll pass on your comments to Sara who will be pleased to hear - thanks again and we look forward to hearing you again in the future!
Kind regards,

The travel experience group were great from the first phone call I made. As they came recommended by a friend who had previously booked with them. A special mention to David Gookey who my friend did her bookings with. Who put together a really good ititenary, for us. Lots of communication information and help right up to the start of the holiday . Very professional service.
Hi Christine - sounds like you and Keith had a great time with a real mix of experiences and I'm really pleased you have such wonderful memories!

Honeymoon exceeding our expectations
Seven full on days spent exploring amazing sites in Sri Lanka. Stayed in three of the most beautiful hotels. Then flew to the Maldives for a further seven days of total relaxation.
