Experience Travel Group Traveller Reviews

This was our first time using ETG and it was everything we had hoped for and more. ETG really listened and discovered not just exactly the type of holiday we wanted, but also what our particular interests and preferences were, so the holiday was completely bespoke. Additionally, changing the initial itinerary was no trouble - especially when we were staying in multiple locations. Once in Vietnam, absolutely everything ran so perfectly and completely exceeded our expectations. We combined beautiful hotels with real life Vietnamese experiences. Our brilliant guide took us to meet the real people where we saw and heard first hand how they lived and worked. We cycled around the rice paddies, we practiced Tai Chi during sunrise aboard a traditional Vietnamese junk boat whilst sailing through the amazing limestone mountains of Halong Bay, we visited Vietnamese people in their homes seeing and learning about their cottage businesses and their lives and savoured the best street food in cafes we never would have found ourselves. There are too many high points to mention. To know all tipping was taken care of eased our minds as did the very ethical approach ETG take. We would love to plan another trip soon.

ETG were professional and still friendly and approachable. Communication and overall organisation were excellent. Trip and experience suggestions were unending and totally suited to our interests. Overall ETG were excellent from start to finish!

We spent two wonderful weeks exploring areas we have never been before. The trip began in Hanoi where we explored many local & traditional foods while on a Vespa tour, visiting the Temple of Literature at night when the ambiance & experience is very special & beautiful, walked part of the bridge over the river, explored the prison and railway. Next was a trip to the mountain area of Mai Chu to explore rural villages, meet locals, and relax in nature’s beauty. Then on to Hue for a very up close view of temples, tombs, and garden houses. Traveled from there by train along a majestic coastline to Hoi A where the opportunity to have custom clothes and shoes made was fun. Last stop was Siem Reap which was amazing. The workings of the different local villages was fascinating. From sunrise to dark the area’s beauty was remarkable. We wandered those fields, fishing villages, markets, handmade craft school, and several temples in varying sizes with unique histories.

Holly of Experience Travel Group worked diligently to get to know our interests and then planned an ideal customized itinerary for us. She continually offered to handle any details we preferred or might need help with. Holly asks great questions, listens to the answers, and gets to work to produce a very special package. The local guides were terrific and the timing of the activities perfectly orchestrated. We always felt comfortable that we would be safe, well guided, and hidden gems would be shared with us thanks to the careful partnership with those in the area. Every place we stayed was even better than Holly described!

A wonderful mix of the cultural triangle, tea plantations and coast.

Very efficient and spot on with their suggested itinerary. Helpful documents and appreciated the use of the Vamoos app.

10 day trip to Oman mountains, desert, seaside and city of Muscat.

ETG was first rate at planning our holiday to ensure it met our requirements. The on-the-ground team were superb - very knowledgeable, friendly and great service. The country was amazing and we'll definitely visit again. ETG opened our eyes to this country which we hadn't considered visiting before. Perfect trip.

Great to learn so much more about the history of the region by visiting museums and speaking to local people. Seeing how the landscape is changing as new roads are being built. Meeting locals and eating as locals do, street food, was great.

Listened to what we wanted to achieve and came back with some great options.

We had a great trip to Thailand which was perfect for an active family including multiple young adults.

ETG (Ella) were great. She understood the brief and coped well with all the comings and goings in the itinerary. With a couple of minor exceptions, the hotels and activities were perfect.

Excellent multi centre, multiactivity trip to 5 destinations in Lao and Cambodia

Efficient and prompt booking. Made good suggestions and responded quickly to requested changes

A snapshot of Thailand in 2 weeks. The bustle of Bangkok, the serenity of Sukhothai, the charm of Chang Mai, and the beauty of the beach. Bikes, Kayaks, Elephants, Street food, and sand. Who could want more?

Experience Travel Group organised a wonderful itinerary to give our family a taste of everything Thailand has to offer. Kind, courteous and generous. Their local guides were wonderful and always ready to help with requests outside our itinerary.

Travelling with two children under 10, spending time at the temples and then on the beach.

Experience Travel really listen to what you want as a family and do their very best to organise an itinerary that works. This is the second holiday we have booked with them and each one was great.

A family adventure through Rajasthan focussing on people and the planet. A bespoke itinerary brought us into close contact with the hospitable people of India away from the overly trodden traveller routes.

We travelled with Experience Travel Group (Sara Wells). Sara took the time to understand the interests of each family member and helped to put together a unique itinerary that really reflected that.
