Reviews of Essential Sri Lanka - Deluxe
Fantastic holiday in a beautiful country
3 weeks in Sri Lanka which incorporated a cricket tour (Sri Lanka vs England), tea plantations, cultural triangle, safari and finally a couple of days on a beach to relax and unwind! We had a fantastic time - quite a hectic schedule but we wanted to take full advantage of everything there was to see. Beautiful country - rich in history and culture. Lovely people, so warm and welcoming. One of the best holidays I've experienced

Rating for tour operator:We cannot fault them from start to finish. They know the country extremely well and devised an excellent itinerary for us. The whole holiday went without a hitch - everything ran according to plan. Hotels and experiences were excellent - as were all the local ground staff. Friendly, helpful, professional, prepared to go the extra mile. Excellent service throughout. Highly recommend them
Hi Peter
Thank you for the kind words, I am absolutely delighted that you had such a good time.
It was a great pleasure to meet you in Sri Lanka and it is so pleasing that the rest of the tour went to plan too. Thank you also for your very kind contribution to the auction, I hope that Gwen enjoys the bat and ball!
I look forward to speaking to you soon.

Everything we wanted
Great holiday, the company came up with an excellent itinerary for us to see some of Sri Lankas highlights but also partake in a couple of days at the Test in Galle. Sri Lanka is a beautiful country with friendly people and we were able to meet a local farming family and eat with them and have a meal with tea plantation workers and see how they cook.

We also appreciated the lunches provided at the cricket! Good hotels and an excellent chauffeur/guide - everything went without a hitch, I would certainly use them again.
Rating for tour operator:Good website and approachable when contacted, excellent itinerary with some unique experiences organised. Excellent communication would definitely recommend
Hi Yvonne
Thank you very much for your kind words, I am so glad to hear that you had such a good trip. It was fantastic to meet you in Galle and am glad that you enjoyed the cricket, although it was difficult not to!
I look forward to meeting you again soon.
Thanks

I highly recommend Experience Travel Group
We had a wonderful holiday, thanks fo Experience Travel Group. However, towards the end of our holiday I had the misfortune of falling and breaking my leg. Experience Travel were absolutely amazing. They had someone "on the ground" rush to our aid straight away, and there was always someone on hand to help us with difficulties and complications, and they "held our hand" throughout. I simply cannot praise them enough. Book your Sri Lanka holiday ...

Thank you so much for your kind words, that is very kind of you.
I am just delighted that you are home relatively fit and healthy so you can fully concentrate on your recover. I am also thrilled that the fall has not soured the memory of your holiday too much or Sri Lanka as a country.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.

A real travel experience.
An astonishingly wonderful tour of Sri Lanka not only taking in the obvious tourist attractions but also getting into the local communities, meeting people & being made aware of the challenges facing them. Travel should inform, and holidays be restorative & this company manages to do both. We are returning customers based on our previous satisfaction with the ethics of this company.

Wonderful Experience
From the moment we made initial enquiry to arriving back home the service we received was excellent. We have seen unforgettable sites/wildlife, eaten some amazing food and met some truly inspiring people.

Rating for tour operator:Nothing was too much trouble and their in depth knowledge of the country meant we had an unforgettable experience visiting places and meeting people many tourists would not see.
