Experience Travel Group Traveller Reviews

Our holiday with Experience Travel was brilliant - a great mix of culture, nature and relaxation. Meeting a Sri Lankan farmer and seeing his daily life, plus touring a tea plantation and factory were highlights of a truly memorable trip.

Very knowledgeable and with good insight into the country. We felt like we didn't have to think about anything other than arriving at the airport!

Experience Travel Group organised a fantastic trip for our family around Sri Lanka. From the very first interaction, to arranging an itinerary which gave us the right balance of culture and beach, everything went so smoothly. Local drivers/guides were excellent and able to accommodate our late requests. I would highly recommend them to anyone considering a holiday in Asia.

We have just returned from a fantastic holiday travelling around parts of Sri Lanka and ending with a few days in the Maldives. It is the first time we have done an experience holiday with our two children ages 8 & 6 and they had the most amazing time and had some fantastic experiences.

The tour operator was faultless.

We started in Hanoi- great city and a wonderful experience. Then a luxury overnight junk cruise around Halong Bay- stunning scenery and very nice facilities. After that we went to Hoi An- lovely town and stayed in a fantastic resort called The Bam Hai- just excellent. Finished off in Ho Chi Minh City - again just great. All transfers went smoothly, our guides were good and, with the exception of the cookery class in Hoi An (way too hot weather and too long) all the excursions were brilliant. We would definitely recommend Vietnam for a holiday and Experience Travel Group delivered everything they promised. Very good and knowledgeable consultant, David Gookey, met all our requirements.

Please see above- friendly, knowledgeable and professional service

We gained a true experience of Sri Lanka - a real taste of the culture, the beautiful wildlife, history, food and beach life of this wonderful country. Highly recommended. We would be totally confident in recommending Experience Travel Group to any friends and family - totally professional, informative and responsive to our requests.

Excellent.

AN escorted 2 week holiday with a personal driver/guide in Sri Lanka. A well run holiday company with good professional and ethical standards (both here in the UK and in Sri Lanka) Without the services of the guide we would never of seen/experienced many of the highlights of the tour, as ever it is down to local people with good local knowledge who care.

Our link person at Experience Travel was knowledgeable as she had personally visited the island on many occasions.

I was going to a conference in Bangalore and wanted to stay on for a holiday. But I was very apprehensive about being on my own. Travel experience devised a tailor made itinerary which was truly amazing - excellent mix of sight seeing, walking and getting to know India. All in fabulous places and with excellent back up so I knew that if I needed help someone would be there for me which was very reassuring. Guides and drivers were all excellent. I met local people and really learned a lot about India. My holiday exceeded all expectations and rates as one of the best experiences of my life.

Travel experience helped with the Indian visa. They were excellent about answering all my queries. The documentation was all in order and everything ran like clockwork. They have a very good partner in India who provided a wonderful service. No complaints - wonderful holiday.

Our visit to Sri Lanka immersed us in the culture and traditions of the Sri Lankans and we learned so much of the way of life from our guide, Upendra de Silva, who mixed the cultural learning with fun activities largely arranged by Experience Travel. We then had a few days at the end in The Maldives which was pure relaxation and indulgence! A magical place. We wish we had more time in our lives and the ability to do even part of our holiday again as it was truly the experience of a lifetime and one we will always remember.

Experience Travel's representative Upe was very organised and our activities and days were well thought out and had a few extras. He had done the job for many many years and was good at adapting to our needs to make our trip a memorable one. A good representative for Experience Travel, who I cannot fault and gave excellent service.

The holiday was a trip to Ho Chi Minh city and the Mekong Delta. The accommodation offerings were fantastic and we enjoyed some fantastic tours in both locations which really gave us insight into the Vietnamese way of life. Trips included the local markets, museums, floating markets and seeing the various districts of Ho Chi Minh City. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants something a little different for their holiday!

We were booked through experience travel group who provided a great package were efficient in everything they organised and offered advice where necessary.

We had a wonderful "Taster" of this beautiful country in the 15 short days we were there. We saw stunning scenery, historic locations, wonderful religious ceremonies and a way of life where time seems to have stopped still. There cannot be a more welcoming, warm people anywhere, they made our holiday so very special. We went from mountain tops where we hovered almost above the clouds to the Indian Ocean and beaches just for ourselves. We learnt the history of this land and came to u defeat do how important tourism is to their continuing growth and well being It's a land of gentleness, wonderful weather, interesting food and challenging itineraries! We loved every minute of it and hope dearly to return one day

Becky was patient, understanding of our concerns, informative ( having travelled there herself) and worked to the confines of our budget- nothing was too much trouble for her
