Sri Lanka Laid Back - Deluxe Traveller Reviews

Reviews of Sri Lanka Laid Back - Deluxe










Sri Lanka - everything we hoped for and more.
The cricket at Galle was the main draw for us but the diversity of this island, it’s food, people and fascinating mixture of religions and cultures will stay in our memories and hearts forever.

Experience Travel Group were excellent from my very first enquiry regarding the cricket to post holiday feedback. Taking into account our requirements they assembled an itinerary which met our varying needs, provided useful information before departure, had very knowledgable people on the ground in Sri Lanka and made us feel that our needs were paramount. I would have no hesitation in using them again.
Hi Jane,

Experience Travel Group were attentive throughout the booking process and our holiday. We were welcomed on arrival, reassured about the political upheaval that took place during our stay and any issues we had were responded to quickly.

Amazing holiday experience in Sri Lanka!
Holiday was amazing - hotels were fabulous, Sri Lankan people are so warm and kind, food was scrumptious, scenery was so lush and green. Sri Lanka needs to be on everyone's bucket list to visit!

Hi Andy,
Thanks so much for your feedback, I am so pleased you had such a good trip. Your blog was really great reading, and I agree sea planes really are the best way to travel in Sri Lanka!

Very helpful, efficient and understood our requirements without needing much prompting. All their suggestions for activities on our holiday were perfect, working out what would fit our budget. Holiday information was produced efficiently, including an 'app' with all our personal holiday information on it.
Dear Chris,

Perfectly organised Silver Wedding holiday to Sri Lanka and The Maldives
Firstly can we say a big thank you to Toni for all her help with the itinerary and all my questions after booking with her. Toni chose great hotels for us, we had the holiday of our lives. Our guide, Samon, was waiting for us on landing and couldn't have treated us any better. His pride and knowledge of his country was amazing. He was always on time with the car, and himself, immaculate with enthusiasm. We really couldn't have had a ...
Firstly can we say a big thank you to Toni for all her help with the itinerary and all my questions after booking with her. Toni chose great hotels for us, we had the holiday of our lives. Our guide, Samon, was waiting for us on landing and couldn't have treated us any better. His pride and knowledge of his country was amazing. He was always on time with the car, and himself, immaculate with enthusiasm. We really couldn't have had a better guide, from halting charging elephants with the palm of his hand and climbing a palm tree he went above and beyond to make our week in Sri Lanka perfect. We were sad to leave him when we left for the Maldives.

I feel Toni listened to what we wanted and booked our trip accordingly
Dear Mandi,
I'm so pleased you had such a great holiday and I'll be sure to pass on your kind comments to Toni. She'll be so pleased.
As for Saman. Well, we get many great comments about him and he is undoubtedly one of our top guides in any country. However, stopping a charging elephant with the palm of his hand and climbing a coconut tree - that really is above and beyond!
We loved the picture of Saman up the tree also! What a guy!
Happy wedding anniversary and we hope you are able to travel with us again sometime.

Wherever we travel I have always not wanted to be labelled a tourist I know this is an illusion but by choosing a small travel company we ' senior ' travellers felt privelidged not to be transported everywhere in a large coach and benefit from the personal attentions of an excellent driver I would call a companion We appreciated the small ' boutique ' places we stayed in as well as the final luxury of the Amangalla Sri Lanka is a gentler India , lush and fertile and very beautiful We found the heat and humidity at times oppressive but most places had air conditioning The mud hut was certainly an unforgettable experience , sitting on the outside latrine one morning a startlingly yellow golden oriel perched right in front of me A bird watchers delight ! Lots of tea , coconut , smiles and laughter A holiday to remember M

We initially visited the small office in Clapham and immediately felt we were in good hands A bit of tweaking here and there , we were in desperate need of a gentle programme and ruled out too much organised activity We had time to just observe and notice the little things with our eyes open wide
Dear Barbara,
What a lovely review! That really captures what travel is all about - time to notice and observe the little things... We appreciate your taking the time to post this review and we look forward to seeing you again.
