Reviews of Essential Sri Lanka - Deluxe










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 ...

See above.
Hi Gillian
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.
Thanks

Perfect holiday
We had a lovely holiday in Sri Lanka. We had a private tour followed by a week at the beach. Everything was organised for us and we had nothing to think about or worry about at all, perfect

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.

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.

Sri Lanka - A wonderful experience with so much more to see
We had a varied holiday itinerary incorporating culture, safari/elephants, trekking and beach - what's not to like! Wonderful food, weather and the people we met were lovely.

ETG helped with itinerary and arrangements went smoothly for the most part. We would have liked to have had a detailed breakdown of costs pre holiday.
Hi David
Thank you for your kind words, I am delighted that you had a good holiday.
I understand your comment in regards to a breakdown of costs and we are always very happy to discuss the general breakdown to help you make decisions on where you could make savings. However, we don’t break our prices down to the minute level as behind the package price is a complicated web of exchange rates, taxes and micro costs such as guiding fees, entrances, mileage calculations, bonding and more.
There is more details on this on our website - https://www.experiencetravelgroup.com/info/common-questions - but I would also be very happy to discuss this in more detail over the phone, if you would like to do so.
Kind Regards

Sri Lanka Tour exceeds expectations
Something for everybody in Sri Lanka. Personal chauffeur/guide looked after us and made sure we sampled some of the more exotic foods. Good mix of monuments, temples and natural phenomena. Very interesting tour of the country, ending in Colombo.

First time with Experience Travel Group. They delivered everything you'd want from a travel company both before and during the holiday. Their local Sri Lanka rep was also very effective handling minor change of plan. Terrific local chauffeur/guide.
Hi Peter,
Thanks so much for your great feedback, I am so pleased you enjoyed your trip. It sounds like you really got on well with your guide! I will make sure to pass this onto him, I am sure he will be thrilled to hear your feedback.
It was a pleasure putting your trip together for you,
Becky
