Experience Travel Group Traveller Reviews

Flew to Chiang Rai, N Thailand, crossed the border into Laos and then spent three fabulous days cruising down the Mekong to Luang Prabang. Three nights in Luang Prabang followed by two in the Plain of Jars. From there to Vientiane and finally down to Pakse/4,000 islands in southern Laos for some R & R before returning to the UK via Bangkok.

We have used Experience Travel now on four occasions and consider their destination knowledge and understanding of travellers requirements and preferences to be excellent.

We visited the cultural triangle, Kandy, had a train ride to hill country, safari at Uda Walawe beach stay near Tangalle and stayed in the old fort at Galle We stayed in small boutique hotels with great service & food. Sri Lanka is a very beautiful friendly country.

Experience Travel are experts in this area and listened to our requests and put together a perfect itinerary

A wonderful holiday, based around Bangkok, Chiang Mai and Khao lak, which allowed us to enjoy stunning hotels while using selected 'experiences' to understand the history and culture of this lovely country - as seen through the eyes of enthusiastic and knowledgeable local ambassadors.

The package evolved by Experience Travel - listening to our preferences - reflected exactly our hopes and limitations, in that we didn't want to rush from one tourist attraction to the next, without ever getting below the surface. The hotels recommended were each sympathetic to the location and setting and were all of a very high standard; the transport links, connections and local services were mostly faultless, but always attentive, and the guides on the excursions were personal, responsive, thoughtful and flexible to our needs. All our hopes for this holiday were exceeded.

Experience Travel did a great job of planning our trip and the service and back up from them was excellent.

Small and friendly with excellent personal service

Exciting, educational, extraordinary. Friendly people always smiling. Superb hotels with wonderful service in nostalgic colonial Hanoi, relaxing Hoi An and vibrant hectic Ho Chi Minh City. Stunning scenery in Ha Long Bay and the Hoi Van Pass. Authentic tours show casing the Street food scene and the relaxed rural life of water buffalo in rice fields. Exhilarating tours on vintage Vespas and speedboats on the Mekong. Rich in history with heart breaking remnants of war. Vietnam has it all - a trip to cherish and remember.

Friendly, efficient. Willing to answer any query no matter how small or silly. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic 3 weeks in Sri Lanka. Everyone so friendly and nothing too much trouble.What an island of contrasts - jungle,tea plantations,cultural sites and beaches - all reachable by car, so didn't need to take any internal flights.

Experience travel looked after everything very well. Becky in the UK and Thusni in Sri Lanka.All went according to plan and would highly recommend them.

touring the beautiful island of Sri Lanka has given us an appetite to go back and see more if the Island, experiencing local cultures and meeting the friendly hospitable people, to end on the tranquil Nika Island was a welcome oasis after so much travelling.

Becky was very helpful in taking time to organise our holiday

Wonderful authentic experience with quality hotels.All arangements re cars and guides were punctual and knowledgable. Documentation through Vamoos was excellent. Itinery was well planned and covered what we wanted to experience.

Experience Travel Group just gave excellent service both before and during the holiday.

Perfectly planned, organised and executed to meet and then exceed our expectations. Very professional service from beginning to end. Packed lots in to a 2 centre holiday and still felt relaxed throughout. Couldn't have asked for more.

Excellent itinerary suggestions and attention to our individual requests. Very good communication of all details and impressive knowledge of the countries we visited as well as the sites and accommodation available. A real pleasure to deal with.

Immediately on arriving you are enthralled by the sounds and sights of the birds which abound all over Sri Lanka, their vibrant colours and calls are everywhere you go. In Udawalawe we visited the Elephant Transit camp and completed some incredible safaris. The wildlife was abundant both in Udawalawe and Bundala, where crocodiles were seen, elephants, spotted deer, land monitors, monkeys and an amazing number of birds too numerous to mention. One day we went Whale watching from a rib and were the closest we could possibly be to see the wonderful sight of the groups of Sperm whales at the time. It was a totally real experience never to be forgotten.

Extremely helpful and knowledgeable about the areas we wished to visit. Nothing was too much trouble for them.
