Fantastic experience with 'Experience'
We travelled to Sri Lanka with Experience Travel in March 2016. We can't fault the holiday which was tailor-made for us to include culture, wildlife, local life and beach experiences. Their recommended boutique hotels were all very special and the driver who showed us the country was well-informed, safe and always punctual. A very memorable holiday.

Rating for tour operator:Experience Travel - very knowledgeable, professional and represent good value for money.

Adventure for the cautious traveller
We spent 10 days in Sri Lanka and 5 in the Maldives. We are well past the backpacking stage and were a bit nervous about how Sri Lanka might be. We need not have worried. We were picked up from Colombo Airport in an Air-condiitoned car and driven everywhere we needed to go by a friendly and informative guide. All our accommodation was excellent. Clean, comfortable, air-conditioned (thats quite important!), with excellent food and friendly staff...

We were picked up from Colombo Airport in an Air-condiitoned car and driven everywhere we needed to go by a friendly and informative guide. All our accommodation was excellent. Clean, comfortable, air-conditioned (thats quite important!), with excellent food and friendly staff. We saw a range of sights including a day in Wilpattu National Park, Ruins of Polonarawula, Sigirya Rock Fortress, Dambula Cave temples and a tour of Kandy. These amazing places of which we had little prior knowledge proved excellent focal points for the tour, but overall we loved the simple interactions that were organised for us - tour of a coconut plantation, a cycle ride into Polonarawula, a visit to the Dambula vegetable market and a train ride from Perandiya to Rambukkah through the hill country. This was all finished off with a relaxing few days on a small island resort in the Maldives.
Rating for tour operator:Nick Clark at Experience Travel organised this for us. I think he understood immediately what we were looking for and organised a very comfortable and well planned tour that just suited us perfectly. We will definitely be using Experine Travel again
Dear Tony,
Thank you for posting this review. It's the simple things that we believe make the difference and can be so much fun too. This is the kind of feedback we really like to receive!
We very much look forward to hearing from you again.

Sri Lanka - birds and history
Experience devised a holiday to suit our particular requests. We stayed in lovely places and were well looked after throughout our tour, doing trips that suited us. They listened to what we wanted and produced the goods.

Rating for tour operator:The agent listened and did not try and buttonhole us too much.

Our Special Sri Lankan Experience
We had an excellent holiday in Sri Lanka. A good mix of the cultural sites, seeing elephants, coconut and tea plantations and the south coast beaches. We stayed in most agreeable hotels, none of which were very large. We had an excellent driver/guide and found the country, people and local food all made for a wonderful holiday. February is a good time to go.

Rating for tour operator:Experience Travel put the holiday together for us in a careful way and we felt very spoilt wherever we went. Nothing was too much trouble.

Enthralling Sri Lanka
Our tour enabled us to sample the highlights of Sri Lanka, to learn about its history and culture, to be stunned by its large range of beautiful scenery, and to enjoy the colourful plants, birds and other wildlife. Our hotels were all enjoyable and often luxurious.

Our tour enabled us to sample the highlights of Sri Lanka, to learn about its history and culture, to be stunned by its large range of beautiful scenery, and to enjoy the colourful plants, birds and other wildlife. Our hotels were all enjoyable and often luxurious. We loved Sri Lankan food, it was incredibly varied, we never had the same curry twice and perfect for a vegetarian and a fish-lover (although lots of meat choices too). We had a good mixture of guided tours, travel and opportunities to relax, whether in beautiful hotel pools, or on the beach enjoying the warm sea, soft sand and beautiful views.
Rating for tour operator:They were very pleasant to deal with, very efficient at answering queries promptly, and arranged an individual itinerary for us which met all our expectations. All their arrangements worked well.
Dear Carol,
Those are fantastic comments for us to hear - thank you for taking the time to write them. Much appreciated and we agree - Sri Lanka is an amazing place for a vegetarian and seafood fish cooking... In fact I tend to avoid meat there as the vegetables and seafood is so amazing.
All the best,
