We had the most amazing holiday in Vietnam. The itinerary had been well planned and was efficiently carried out. The hotels and boats, without exception, were all clean and comfortable with the most delicious buffet spreads for breakfast. The transportation was efficient,clean and comfortable. The knowledgeable guides spoke good English and could not do enough for us. The scenery was varied and breath taking at times and the history fascinating, although a little harrowing. The food was so tasty that I have even bought a cookery book! The weather was kind to us too. Brilliant! The best trip was the Vesper tour at night in Saigon...........crazy but so much fun.

We chose Experience Travel Group to book this trip for us on a recommendation from friends who had had a brilliant stress free holiday in Vietnam. The operator who helped us plan our trip was very patient with us and not at all pushy. She had first hand recent knowledge of Vietnam which was invaluable when selecting our route, choosing our hotels and excursions. I would definitely recommend this company to anybody who wishes to travel to this part of the world without any hesitation.
Dear Helen,
Thank you so much for taking the time to give us this feedback. We love Vietnam too so very glad you enjoyed it so much and as for Vietnamese food - what can we say!
Your kind comments about us are so much appreciated too.
All the best,
The Experience Travel Group Team.

A tour operator that listened to what we wanted as aopposed to what they wanted to sell us.The experience of the consultant then became evident as we built the trip together.I consider this is the difference of what we pay a specialist operator for.
Thanks so much for you comments and so glad you both had such a great time. It was a pleasure to work with you both and hope to organise many more trips for you!
All the best for now,
Nick

We spent 14 days travelling around Sri Lanka sampling the cornucopia of experiences on offer in this beautiful island from white water rafting in the tropical rain forest, to a train trip through the tea plantations. From lazing on a deserted golden beach to overnight safari in search of leopards and bears. The people are so welcoming and the service in all hotels was outstanding.

Experience Travel took the trouble to get to know us and as a result picked the perfect hotels and experiences to match our requirements. It was a comforting feeling to know that if we had encountered any problems we could speak to Nick in London very easily and he would resolve the issue. The local team were extremely helpful in transporting our unaccompanied 15 year old daughter to join us late in our holiday.
Dear Verena,
A 'cornucopia of experiences'! We couldn't have asked for better feedback - that's just what we like to hear!
We look forward to hearing from you again in the future.
Kind regards,
Nick and The Experience Travel Group team.

Fascinating trip in SE Asia
We visited Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam and Burma (Myanmar). Great holiday - a fascinating and vibrant part of the world, which we had not visited, except for Thailand thirty years ago. A very enjoyable time.

Most enjoyable from start to finish
Just back from Myanmar which we havel loved for the whole three weeks. Every recommendation from David Gookey worked extremely well. Our guides in Myanmar were all very good and three out of four exceptional.

Excellent knowledge of where to go, what to do and where to stay. Programme devised to give a good mix of leisure time and sightseeing. Arrangements for my wife's birthday very good at Lake Inle
Hi Monty - I'm thrilled that you had a fantastic time and I'll pass on your praise in your more detailed feedback to the guide in Kalaw and Inle. I hope you managed to eat all of the Burmese dishes I suggested in my blog post! Looking forward to arranging your next adventure, David

Sri Lanka the superb
We have just returned from a wonderful holiday in Sri Lanka arranged by and through Experience travel. It was impeccably organised,matching our requirements and expectations and wonderfully guided by our local driver/guide. The recommended hotels came up to scratch in all respects and the entire experience demonstrated Experience's savoir faire (to avoid a third use of experience in nearly as many words!)

A Great Experience of Sri Lanka
Together with Experience travel we put together a very varied itinerary to tour some of the less visited areas of Sri Lanka. It was a great success all round.

Family holiday to Sri Lanka
We are a family of 6 (4 teenagers) and spent two weeks in Sri Lanka touring some of the cultural sites and wildlife parks north of Colombo, then travelling south through Kandy and the tea country and then spent a final few days on a beach near Galle. We had a full time driver and stayed in mainly family run high quality boutique hotels.

The agent at Experience Travel, Nick Clarke, clearly knew Sri Lanka very well. He understood the dynamics of our family and the needs of teenagers and designed an excellent itinerary for us that mixed plenty of interesting activity, relaxation with not too much driving. we had to make a number of changes to the holiday die to family circumstances and Nick was very efficient and calm in reorganising everything.
Hi Philip,
Thank you so much for taking the time to post this review and we're really pleased you had such a successful family holiday.

Sam
