Essential Sri Lanka - Deluxe Traveller Reviews

We had an excellent holiday in Sri Lanka. A good mix of the cultural sites, seeing elephants, coconut and tea plantations and the south coast beaches. We stayed in most agreeable hotels, none of which were very large. We had an excellent driver/guide and found the country, people and local food all made for a wonderful holiday. February is a good time to go.

Experience Travel put the holiday together for us in a careful way and we felt very spoilt wherever we went. Nothing was too much trouble.

Our tour enabled us to sample the highlights of Sri Lanka, to learn about its history and culture, to be stunned by its large range of beautiful scenery, and to enjoy the colourful plants, birds and other wildlife. Our hotels were all enjoyable and often luxurious. We loved Sri Lankan food, it was incredibly varied, we never had the same curry twice and perfect for a vegetarian and a fish-lover (although lots of meat choices too). We had a good mixture of guided tours, travel and opportunities to relax, whether in beautiful hotel pools, or on the beach enjoying the warm sea, soft sand and beautiful views.

They were very pleasant to deal with, very efficient at answering queries promptly, and arranged an individual itinerary for us which met all our expectations. All their arrangements worked well.

We visited the cultural triangle, Kandy, had a train ride to hill country, safari at Uda Walawe beach stay near Tangalle and stayed in the old fort at Galle We stayed in small boutique hotels with great service & food. Sri Lanka is a very beautiful friendly country.

Experience Travel are experts in this area and listened to our requests and put together a perfect itinerary

Experience Travel did a great job of planning our trip and the service and back up from them was excellent.

Small and friendly with excellent personal service

We took a fantastic trip to Sri Lanka. Planned it with Experience Travel. Nick was a great help and highly knowledgeable. Having got the skeleton together, Nick put the meat on the bones and came up with a stunning itinerary. High quality hotels and wildlife experiences that will live long in the memory. Everything flowed throughout the 17days and we came home with many happy memories. Thanks for making it all so easy

Experience Travel did a great job in arranging a fantastic holiday for us.

We had an absolutely fabulous time. Sri Lanka far exceeded our expectations it is a lovely clean green and friendly country. We would definitely visit again. The Maldives was as amazing as we expected.

Experience Travel were very good and arranged an excellent tour for us. We only had one unfortunate experience in the whole 14 days holiday.

Sri Lanka tour with a guide driver to visit some of main points of interest, would need numerous visits to see all the treasures. We enoyed the whole experience from the moment we left our front door in the Emirates supplied car to our return home in the same manor. The whole tour exceeded our expections with our the driver guide being excellent. The history of the country, the friendly people who could not do enough, the excellent food and the amazing unigue places we stayed all contributed to make this the best holiday yet. So many good memories.

Our operator knew the country well and this showed in the detailed itinerary that enabled to see everything without being part of the mass parties of the visiting tourists. Would recommend to all.

balance of culture and sight seeing using lovely hotels

helpful and responsive

We thoroughly enjoyed the experience having never been to Srilanka before. Everything went well as planned. Our driver was knowledgable, friendly and informative. He (Kapila) ensured we enjoyed the best of the areas we were in. Our accommodation was as described and food delicious.

Very helpful, they offered us various options , and when we were unsure about the choices , offered various alternatives to consider
