a truly wonderful experience in a truly wonderful country
we travelled to Sri Lanka for a 14 night holiday including a 10 night tour. We stayed in boutique hotels around the country which were exceptional. We found the countryside and people of Sri Lanka both beautiful. Our chauffeur/guide Suresh was brilliant and made the holiday very special. The beach hotel Aditya was one of the best boutique hotels we have stayed in. All the arranged activities/tours went smoothly and everything we needed was thought ...

Sara Wells at Experience Travel arranged our private tour to suit us and all the documents/admin & apps for the holiday were on time, correct and exactly what was required.
I am delighted you had such an a great time, and your driver guide Suresh made your holiday special. I will be sure to pass on your praise to Suresh. I am glad your enjoyed Aditya as well, one of my favourite beach hotels in Sri lanka. Thank you for taking the time to feedback. Best wishes Sara

10 days in Sri Lanla
Everything was very well organised from beginning to end. The holiday was very well planned giving us a very varied experience of the scenery and local culture. We stayed at four different locations where we were warmly welcomed and all the staff were very friendly.

A great 2 centre holiday in Maldives and Sri Lanka
We had a relaxing week in the Maldives and then a really fascinating week of contrasts in Sri Lanka.

We visited all the major sight, such as Dambula can temples POlunaruha, Sigyria , tea plantation, took a train ride. went on safari, saw elephants, visited farms. Our family adventure planned in great detail by Experience travel group. They had done their research and found perfect places for us to visit which were ideal for your family. WE had read much about Sri Lanka in the guide books but as always places change. Thy could provide up to date information about overcrowding in Wild life parks meaning we were always away from huge crowds. The activities they planned for our family were definite local experiences and taught our children a lot. We are planning another trip with them

Oh my gosh, Experience Travel definitely went the extra mile barring our holiday. All our suggestions for our itinerary were discussed and planned out for us and if a location we had read about wasn't deemed ideal they explained why and made other suggestions. We had farm visits very knowlegeable guide . The hotels matched our family needs so well. When our final night hotel put a huge NEW Year eve supplement on to our cost at the last minute the operator Experience Travel came up with great ideas which were even better than the original hotel. Fabulous and we are hoping to return next year and Use Experience travel Again
Dear Sally,
What a lovely review! Thank you so much for your kind words and so pleased to hear you had such a great family holiday and that you are already planning another trip with us.
Till next time!

The prefect combination of exciting and stunning travel combined with perfect beach relaxation.
We spent 12 days travelling around the major sights of Myanmar which pretty much all exceeded expectations. Bagan is stunning, lake Inle a gem and the country overall yet to be totally spoiled by Tourism. We then had 6 nights on a the fabulous Ngapali beach. Experience did a great job in hotel choice and planning and the 20 days went without a hitch and with a lot of enjoyment. A fabulous country, totally secure without any sign of trouble...

Countless memories in SE Asia
From the beautiful vistas of Halong Bay to the hustle and bustle of Saigon, our holiday in Vietnam and Cambodia have left us with countless memories we will cherish for a lifetime. The magical sunrise over Angkor Wat, a boat trip over the meandering lake of Tonle Sap, frequent trips to the night market coupled with warmth of the locals are sure to be at the top of travellers’ bucket list. We are so pleased to have done this trip!

Immaculately planned! From meets & greets at the airports, choice of hotels and organising our tours, every aspect of our trip was superbly organised. To top it, the guides were knowledgeable and friendly which made our entire experience with Experience Travel very pleasant. We will definitely book again!
Hi Rashee,
I'm so pleased to hear! What a great experience for your family and with lots of special memories. Now that you've had a taste for it, we'll have to have a talk about that trip to Laos..! Best Wishes, Holly.
Hi Rashee, that's great to hear - I will pass your kind comments to all of your guides. I look forward to planning another holiday again with you in the future. Best Wishes, Holly.





Fantastic Christmas/New Year in India
We've just come back from a fantastic two weeks in Rajasthan, cycling round Jaipur on Christmas day and seeing New Year in at Lake Pichola in Udaipur. The whole package was excellent, and we couldn't fault the guides, our driver, the food, the hotels, the itinerary, the transfers or anything else.

Very thoroughly devised itinerary, with thought given to the fact that we were travelling with a 12-year-old with no travel experience outside of Europe.
Hi Andrew, I am so glad you had a fantastic time in Rajasthan. Great that the whole experience was faultless. A magical country to spend the festive season too! Thank you for your feedback, Best wishes Sara
Thanks Andrew, I am delighted you enjoyed the itinerary and it suited the whole family. Best wishes Sara
