My first trip to Thailand was awesome
It was my first trip to Thailand. I went with my 3 daughters aged 23, 21 and 18. We visited Bangkok, Chiang Mai and Koh Samui. It was the experience of a lifetime!. Hotels & activites were great. We really enjoyed and are very grateful for all the friendly help and professional support given by Travel Experience

Travel Experience really understood what we were looking for. Hotels and activities were very well chosen and the local support was very professional and friendly. They were key to turn this experience into an unforgettable one
Dear Manuela,
This is wonderful to her - thank you so much. There is so much more to Thailand than people realise so we love organising trips there.
We really appreciate you taking the time to post this review.

Superb Sri Lanka honeymoon
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!
Hi Jo
Thank you for your feedback, I am so glad that you had a good holiday.
The farm tour is something we are particularly proud of as it is a completely unique experience so i am delighted that you enjoyed it.
We will look forward to hearing from you again soon.

Experience Travel Group review
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.

Sri Lanka and the Maldives
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.
Dear Fiona,
Thank you very much for taking the time to write this review. Great that you had such a good holiday. I took my own children around that age and Sri Lanka worked brilliantly for them too.

Vietnam - epic holiday
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 ...

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.

Probably the best holiday we have ever had!
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.

A stimulating holiday which is full of surprises if you go looking for them
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.

Incredible India - walking, sightseeing, learning about Indian language, culture and traditions.
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...

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.
Dear Susan,
Having spoken to you prior to departure - and heard about your very painful issues with getting your Indian visa - I'm so pleased that you had such a great time. We very much believe that solo travellers should be able to travel with ease and confidence throughout Asia!

Truly Special Visit to Sri Lanka and The Maldives
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 ...

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.
Dear Jane,
