A well planned itinerary which was tailored to our needs, and gave us an excellent trip
We enjoyed a week in the Maldives, followed by a week in Sri Lanka, touring. The hotels and the activities we did were all good - and we were able to adjust the itinerary to suit us on the ground. Our driver was able to suggest additional activities to replace ones we decided we didn't want to do. This meant that we have some excellent memories of this holiday.

All went according to plan, and on schedule.
Dear Jacqueline,
So pleased to hear you had a wonderful holiday. We work very hard to build flexibility into the itineraries, so I'm very pleased your chauffeur-guide was able to assist you with this. Sri Lanka is after all, the land of 'serendipity'!

Sri Lanka tour
What an interesting island! We saw plains with wild elephants and monkeys, tea plantations, magnificent hills (and climbed some) and intriguing ancient ruins. A fascinating mixture of ancient culture and colonial past. Warm sea with beautiful beaches which is a fantastic break from England in January.

All arrangements went according to plan.
Dear Catherine,
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this review. We're very pleased you had a good break from the UK. We'll be contacting you directly to follow up with you - we're always very disappointed not to be scored 'excellent' all-round.
Many thanks,

Fantastic diverse Kerala
Through touring different areas we experienced the wonderful sights and sounds of Kerala, everyday city life, amazing bird life, rubber,tea and coffee plantations, wildlife, stretches of unspoiled, sandy beaches and a peaceful river cruise observing the many occupations the river supports.

Richly rewarding and brilliantly organised.
A highly stimulating trip to a country emerging from decades in the wilderness and keen to welcome visitors from other countries. There was so much to see and some wonderful people to meet - not least the local guides who brought it all to life.

Perfect in every way
My husband and I travel a lot and usual know what we are getting. However, this trip exceeded our expectations in so many ways. I feel like I have experience the real Thailand and not just parts meant for tourists. The accommodation was superb and the guides and drivers all made the trip run smoothly. I have never had such a relaxing, hassle free experience. We also felt that we received exalent value for money as there were a lot of extra things ...

Ten days enjoying Cambodia's diversirty
Three days focusing on the Andrew Wat temple complexes whilst visiting a fishing village and as a contrast, the hustle and bustle of Siem Reap. Time inPhnom Penh included the speandour of the Ro yal Palace and the grim reality of Cambodia's past with the killing fields and the torture prison S 21. What a contrast with visiting the Cardomen Mountains , staying at a floating eco-lodge. A great and varied experience with memorable boutique hotels ...

EXperience Travel Group is highly professional, very knowledgable and attentive to detail and able to tailor holidays to clients requirements. The itinerary worked very well with excellent local support and responsiveness.
Dear John,
So pleased to hear you enjoyed it. We love doing full Cambodia trips - there is so much to the country and it so often only gets a few days of an itinerary.
All the best,

A perfectly planned trip
We were a party of four who went first to Cambodia and then to Thailand. Our trip was perfectly planned from start to finish: where it was better to fly from one place to another and where it was better to drive and see the country we were passing through. We had wonderful guides who were flexible enough to adapt to our desired timetable and sensitive to our interests and so to what they showed us. They were passionate about their countries ...

We had wonderful guides who were flexible enough to adapt to our desired timetable and sensitive to our interests and so to what they showed us. They were passionate about their countries and subjects and gave us real insight into both history and culture of their country. To have such personal tours was really magical. Hotels were obviously very carefully selected - not only for the facilities that they offered but also for their position in the places we stayed - positions that were always perfect for our particular interests in those particular places.

Experience Travel gave us the best planned holiday we have ever had, and were so tremendously nice and helpful to deal with. They ascertained our interests and what we wanted to do, made suggestions, gave advice and supplied detailed itineraries and information well in advance so that we knew exactly where we were going and how we would get there. They are a company who are obviously passionate about their customers and about the countries they send them to.
Thanks so much for the lovely feedback Pamela. So glad you had such a fantastic time and it all went to plan, it sounds like an amazing holiday. Cheers, Matt
It was a pleasure to organise the holiday for you all and thanks for such nice comments. Matt





Personal, flexible & of the highest quality.
We travelled to Cambodia & Vietnam. Our agent David was invaluable as his local knowledge helped us plan out trips and the pace at which we did them. The hotels were wonderful, the local guides on time and a mine of information and apart from one case not arriving till 24 hours later (which the guide & the hotel resolved for us)everything went to plan. The experience exceeded our expectations.

Personal, professional and thorough. No aspect of the itinerary was left to chance and the on going contact throughout the process was wonderful.
Dear Yvonne,
