Experience Travel Group Traveller Reviews

We had the most amazing time travelling around Sri Lanka. Matt at Experience travel had arranged a fantastic itinerary and we enjoyed breakfast above the clouds, sleeping in a mud house , swimming in a wonderful lake and on a paradise beach.

Experience travel looked after us brilliantly from start to finish. All the accommodation was excellent. The chauffeur guide marvellous .I would( and have) recommend anyone travelling to their destinations to book with them.

We had a fantastic time, this holiday felt like such an adventure from start to finish. I felt that the trip really gave us an opportunity to immerse ourselves in Sri Lankan culture. Our local guide was very knowledgeable about the history so by the time we reached each destination we really felt that we could appreciate what we were visiting. We had some amazing experiences, my fiancée saved a star tortoise from the road which the locals loved, we had king coconuts from the side of the road, we visited beautiful Buddhist temples. We met people from all over the world, from the locals who were friendly and really eager to chat and make us feel welcome to other travellers. We went on an elephant Safari and must have seen over 100 elephants not to mention the big bull elephant wandering down the main road. The food was delicious especially the coconut samba, banana flower curry and manioc. We then went to the Maldives where we were lucky enough to see dozens of dolphins all round the boat. My fiancée, who was diving, saw the dolphins from under water as well as sharks and turtles. It was a great, and very relaxing, contrast to Sri Lanka.

Good local knowledge and great package put together at a very reasonable price.

A great experience, food, people and tours all met our expectations. We will definitely be using Experience travel Group again. We have come home all ready to start planning our next trip!

From initial contact through to the holiday itself they have been so helpful and keen that we should have the holiday we wanted.

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.

Experience Travel - very knowledgeable, professional and represent good value for money.

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 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.

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

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.

The agent listened and did not try and buttonhole us too much.

3 weeks in Sri Lanka, touring for two weeks and then one week at a beach hotel.

Personalised itinerary was arranged, informative information received before travelling and queries dealt with promptly whilst we were on our holiday.

Extraordinary in every sense

Matt Brazier of Experience Travel has an extraordinary level of knowledge and skill in preparing an itinerary and selecting the very best hotel in each location

we traveled from Crete to Cambodia and Vietnam for a month. the whole holiday was fabulous and went very smoothly. The guides , transfers etc were very organised and the information supplied on our trips was very very good. They are a company that really cares about their customers and makes sure you have the best experience possible

They are committed to what they do. they have superb consultants with great knowledge and really look after you throughout the whole trip.

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.

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.
