Experience Travel Group Traveller Reviews

We had never been to Cambodia and Vietnam before and Experience Travel put together a balanced itinerary for us with a great mix of hotels and experiences. All arrangements went to plan, all guides and drivers were first class and the various experiences, trips and tours arranged for us were fantastic. Being a private tour meant we had the freedom to be flexible and our guides were very accommodating, adjusting times and visits to suit. A marvellous holiday which was smoothly organised before and during our trip. We visited Phnom Penh and Siem Reap in Cambodia and in Vietnam, we went to Hanoi, Halong Bay, Hue, Hoi An and Ho Chi Minh City. Hotels were fabulous in all places.

First class organisation from start to finish. All pre holiday communications were clear, concise and informative (their mobile app Vamoos was also good) and our holiday consultant was very helpful. All arrangements on our holiday were faultless - I have no hesitation in recommending Experience Travel.

We have just returned form an excellent holiday to Laos and Cambodia which Experience Travel put together for us. We were based in six different locations on the tour which was put together for us. It was a wonderful trip and we were delighted with the overall service.

Experience Travel are brilliant. We had previously used them for a trip to Vietnam. The transfers worked liked clockwork and the guides we had were excellent. The choice of hotels was great.

We had a two week driving tour of Sri Lanka, followed by a week in the Maldives with the aim of getting to know and see much of both the country and the people.

We had our first holiday without children for 25 years and the Experience Travel team's knowledge of the country and people were matched up with what we enjoyed doing to ensure that the whole vacation was even better than we had hoped. We could not have had a more memorable holiday; just fitted for us.

We had an amazing two weeks in Sri Lanka and the Maldives. relaxing, effortless, due to the amazing organisation of 'Experience Travel'. From the minute we were picked up at the airport by our driver, ISHARA, who was amazing, we couldn't have asked for a better driver/guide, who absolutely made our time in Sri Lanka memorable, we were sorry to say goodbye. If I was to go back to Sri Lanka (which I would love to) I would ask for him to be our driver and guide again. The country is beautiful and serene, the people, welcoming and very proud of their country. Customer service second to none. All the hotels were amazing, clean and in stunning surroundings. In particular the 'Rosyth Estate' in the hill country, amazing service and food in stunning jungle and tea plantation surroundings. After 9 days of seeing temples, elephants, local villages, riding bullock carts, tuk tuks and catarmarans across lakes and eating some wonderful curries we moved to the Maldives. Amazing Atolls, stunning beaches and snorkelling, with Turtles and Mantarays as well as all the other stunning sealife. a lovely relaxing end to an amazing holiday.

I was originally booked to go on a nile cruise which was cancelled by the FCO. it was 8 weeks before departure and had to look for an alternative holiday. I was looking at Sri Lanka and came across 'Experience Travel' the online chat facility was great and from then on seamless, Lucy Reeves tailored the itinerary, and from then on until the minute we arrived home from our holiday it was seamless, infact so seamless, I was sure there was something I must have forgotten to do. Cant praise them enough, would definitely use again and recommend.

First visit to Sri Lanka and we were amazed by the sights, sounds and wildlife. A very diverse island.

Good advice given

We had a two week trip to Sri Lanka covering the cultural sites as well as seeing elements of the wildlife and still having some downtime by the pool to recharge the batteries. Our three children said it was the best holiday we have had and my wife and I would agree.

Experience Travel Group was very helpful in planning the holiday with suggestions and advice on how to structure the two weeks to get the most out of the trip in a child friendly manner. When we asked for changes and possible other features they would very accommodating and the knowledge of the location was great to build the programme to our liking.

Galle, Sinharaja, Kitulgala, Yala, Marissa over 2 weeks. Plenty of wildlife as hoped for. Hotels were excellent, organisation was great -pre-holiday communication great

Great organisation and advice. The advisor devised the whole trip based on a very high level brief, delivering to all the criteria (and more)

A small group of us (4) travelled around what I consider to be the most wonderful aspects of the REAL Sri Lanka (as opposed to the `tourist hot spots'). We went from Colombo to Ranwelli Village, Negombo; Thilanka, Kandy; Kandalama, Dambulla; The Queens, Kandy (for the Perahera); Club Villa, Benthota; Galle Face, Colombo. We enjoyed a bullock cart ride and boat trip to a banana leaf curry lunch in a mud hut; a safari at Minneria National Park; a trip to Sigiriya; Kandy Perahera; safari up the Maadu Ganga; visit to a turtle hatchery; Peridenya Gardens; Udawatta Rainforest Sanctuary. The actual time on the road was an interesting in itself, as we saw how the people lived.

I have just returned from Sri Lanka. I have booked with Experience Travel five times now, and am already planning my next visit! I will continue to use Experience Travel because of the personal touch they provide and, of course, their efficiency.

We spent two weeks in Vietnam and Singapore with our children (13 and 17). It was an amazing family experience, and we could concentrate on being on holiday rather than on the details of hotels and transport because Experience Travel sorted all that out for us. Their choice of hotels and activities was spot on.

Receptive to what we wanted and highly efficient.

Visiting Mandalay, Bagan, Yangon, trekking in Kalaw, staying on Lake Inle. Tried local cooking, bathing elephants, local markets, train, boat, trishaw and horse and cart journeys through the country and of course plenty of temples. The itinerary was flexible to cope with weather and other factors. Local guides were excellent demonstrating commitment to ensuring we understood and experienced as much as possible. Boutique hotels

Flexible approach to ensure the itinerary matched our requirements. Discussed at length with country experts before we committed to the trip.
