Experience Travel Group Traveller Reviews

An absolutely superb holiday which was well organised and ran like clockwork. There was the right balance between sight seeing and leisure time and all of the activities/experiences and places we visited were well chosen and matched our needs perfectly. There was also a good variety of different experiences, not simply visiting the local temple over and over again. Our guides were knowledgeable and all spoke good English. Our drivers were able to make us feel safe even when driving in very heavy traffic. We would thoroughly recommend Experience Travel as they did a great job for us.

Everything organised to meet our needs. All paperwork arrived when expected and tour ran like clockwork with all transfers exactly as described in our itinerary

A trip to North East India. Starting in Calcutta which is a city of such contrasts. Beautiful historic monuments. Lovely people Full of noise, smells, colours and sights. A city that makes you reevaluate your own life. Then several stops as we travelled up into the hills ending in Darjeeling. Such beautiful and breathtaking scenery along with magnificent temples.

We booked through Experience Travel Group and we will definitely use them again. Absolutely every aspect of our trip was arranged for us and we were looked after throughout our holiday. Very impressed.

An excellent tour was organised for us bearing in mind the short time we had in the country. Out first hotel Casa Helonica can be described in one word 'amazing' and service first class. We have seen many temples over the years so only went to the Temple of the Tooth in Kandy which was interesting. Staying in the hills at Ella was stunning. The scenery was just beautiful. The highlight of our trip has to be the Tree Top Jungle Lodge and our safari. We were all a little apprehensive about living in a tent in the jungle with no electricity or hot water, but the entire experience was brilliant. The staff at the lodge couldn't have made us more comfortable. It would have been good if we could have stayed for three rather than two nights so we could have enjoyed more time in this stunning peaceful camp. The beach at Mirissa was our final destination and Number One Mirissa hotel and the food in their restaurant was first class. I don't know how many miles we covered but watching rural life along the routes we took added to the whole experience in Sri Lanka. We have travelled with Experience Travel Group before and would have no hesitation in booking with them for any future trips or recommending them to our friends and family,

Excellent and helpful service from our first enquiry to the return home.

We stayed at some truly wonderful places and saw some incredible things whilst in Sri Lanka with our two children (age 10 and 8). Without doubt, I would recommend a visit to this truly beautiful country, to anyone! It has inspired us to visit more interesting places as a family, instead of opting for the Canaries in a hotel with a pool!!! We stayed at different places each 2 or 3 days and everywhere was completely different. We rode and elephant, climbed Sigirya, had a head massage in a spice garden and ate curry that we'd made, went whale watching, went on a safari, stayed in a mud hut and kayaked across a lake, swam in waterfalls and met some amazing people. What a place! It should be on everyone's bucket list!

Knowing that Experience Travel were there to organise everything gave us such peace of mind and they listened to what we wanted to see and do so that, when we arrived, (almost) everything went smoothly! The experience was made even better due to our wonderful guide Kapi! I felt quite sad to see him go when we had to say 'Good-bye'

Having decided to spend the Christmas break in Vietnam, we relooked at how much holiday we could take and decided to extend our trip so that we could see Angkor given we were so close, knowing that this wasn't doing really justice to Cambodia. Our bespoke tour took us from Angkor down to Phnom Penh across to Saigon and then up the coast to Ha Long Bay and back from Hanoi. Had a combination of guided tours, bike rides and independent sightseeing which kept a 12 year old and 14 year old interested and engaged. Highlights were probably cycling round Angkor, Vespa tour round the streets of Saigon (stopping off for street food, the (relative) calm of Hoi An and then our boat on Ha Long which took us away from the areas frequented by the large tourist boats so that we woke up to see sunrise without anyone else in sight.

We were recommended Experience Travel Group by a friend and they delivered a very memorable holiday. They happily amended their initial suggestions as we got feedback from friends who had been before and recommended extra things we should do. Having decided that we wanted to treat ourselves for Christmas Day and Boxing Day they got a great package for us at the Nam Hai in Hoi An. All the arrangements when we arrived were very smooth and the hotels good. The local guides they had secured were very flexible eg no complaints when we decided we would like to see a few extra things having read some of the finer detail in the guide books or extend a bike ride when they realised that we weren't just going to pootle around. There were a number of things that they suggested such as the Vespa tour in Saigon that I'm not sure we would have come across ourselves - but will be recommending to anyone we know going to Vietnam in the future.

Experience Travel Group was fantastic from start to end the trip was as described and at times better! Laos is a magical country and Thailand beaches were beautiful!

Experience Travel group was excellent always reliable and friendly. Matt and the team where attentive to us through out our trip!

We used this company for a trip to Sri Lanka and we were very satisfied with the service and itinerary provided. This prompted us to come back to them for our annual Christmas Holiday. We feel they did not consider our requirements seriously and before we booked we asked for clarification after reviewing comments on Trip Advisor about the mosquito activity at the resort. We were assured it was the dry season and the mosquitoes would be minimal. The mosquitoes were out of control at this resort. Their partners at the destination recommended a tour that we went on which was both distressing and unethical.

Please see above. We can provide a copy of email sent to them.

The trip was well paced allowing for sightseeing and relaxing, covering all the important sites and culture of the countries. You could immerse yourself into the cuisine and the welcoming attitude of the people and appreciate the struggles that they had lived through in recent memory as well as recall the magnificent historical architecture.

Excellent advice and information from the outset and all the ground arrangements were spot on. Would definitely travel with them again.

Two weeks in Myanmar flew by too quickly. Pagodas, bamboo forest, mountain passes, floating gardens, fiery chilis, beautiful smiles...a mosaic of memorable experiences!

Experience Travel has treated us so well. This was our second tour and they proved that the first wonderful trip (Sri Lanka) wasn't just luck - they are extremely good at what they do. Flexible itineraries, amazing experiences and accommodations. They're our secret to coming home from our travels with incredible stories to share.

An amazing 24 days using 22 forms of transport, witnessing the history, culture, food, lifestyle, peoples and diverse scenery of 2 very beautiful countries - Cambodia and Vietnam. Unforgettable with a rich variety of activities and experiences from museums and palaces to motorbikes, river gorges, markets - rural, floating, russian.... schools, villages, tea plantations, the Chinese border, sunsets, sunrises......

Excellent from start to finish. We met them at a travel fair, started talking. They listened to what we liked doing, made some suggestions and after a little discussion we fixed on our ideal itinerary. So ideal that our trip for 2 grew. 2 friends came with us and our friends sister and 3 friends did the trip in the opposite direction at the same time and they organised us meeting up in the middle
