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!
Thank you for your feedback, David

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.

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 ...

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.

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!
