Family trip to Sri Lanka

We spent 2 weeks touring Sri Lanka with our children aged 9 and 12. The itinerary was fantastic allowing us to see most of the sights in our limited time there. We stayed in a range of accommodation. An amazing family hut whilst white water rafting at Kitulgala, a luxury tent at Udu Walawe national park and some beautiful but quiet hotels. The holiday went smoothly, and our daughter was even supplied with a birthday cake whilst camping! ...

Experience Travel Group gave us the advice we needed to put together an amazing family holiday. The consultant was very knowledgable on Sri Lanka resulting in an amazing itinerary and a holiday which went like clockwork.

Perfectly tailored and perfectly executed

Our family of six had only eight days in which to experience Sri Lanka and have chilltime together. Thanks to the variety of activities and visits, and through willingness to accept flexibility, our expectations were greatly exceeded. The recommended accommodation was absolutely ideal, the pace of the itinerary was exactly right for us, and our overall impression was highly favourable. Both of the country and the operator!

An informative, active and fun family tour holiday in Sri Lanka

I wanted to mark my eldest sons 21st birthday and my twins 18th birthday, so the holiday had to appeal to all of us in terms of interesting activities, and sight seeing. I also wanted a holiday that all of us would enjoy and remember. Our tour of Sri Lanka did this in spades. There was an action packed itinerary for all of us to enjoy, the scenery was breath taking and the people very friendly. A beautiful place that we will remember all our lives...

Sri Lanka Family adventure

A three week Tour of Sri Lanka In July 2016 for our family of four. We wanted an experience for the children (17 and 11) and wanted to see real Sri Lanka as well as the more obvious bits. The use of a private chauffeur and Guide allowed us to tailor our trip exactly as we needed and change things as we went. Too many highlights to list but great People and such natural Beauty. The food was a great surprise and not like anything else we have tried...

The use of a private chauffeur and Guide allowed us to tailor our trip exactly as we needed and change things as we went. Too many highlights to list but great People and such natural Beauty. The food was a great surprise and not like anything else we have tried. We would go back as there is more to see. We used a mixture of small to medium hotels. All excellent but the views at Kelburne cottages will always stay with me.

Rating for tour operator:

ETG know Sri Lanka very very well and tailored our holiday perfectly. Nothing was too much trouble and the local knowledge and support made our trip.

Dear Nicholas,

Thank you for taking the time to leave this review. Breakfast with my extended family outside at Kelbourne with the view of the mountains falling away to the plains below is one of my favourite memories ever!

A family of four touring Sri Lanka with our own private chauffeur/guide incorporating seven boutique hotels and sampling the cultural, natural and culinary delights this fantastic country has to offer. We explored ancient cities, climbing the stunningly magnificent Sigiriya rock at sunrise then watched the sunset with the monkeys at Dambulla caves. We were honoured to be invited to particIpate in a Buddhist wedding, and a few days later a beautiful Tamil, Hindu bride and her groom. Early morning and late evening safaris forged unforgettable memories of elephants, crocodiles, Eagles, mongoose, buffalo to name but a few. A Train ride through tea plantations and yuk tuk rides through Colombo were brilliant fun, as was exploring the market in Dambulla, climbing mountains, swimming in waterfalls, watching Kandian fire walkers and the sun set over the Indian Ocean. Stunning hotels with the most fantastic, attentive staff and superb cuisine in some of the most exquisite locations I have ever experienced. A truly memorable holiday.

Rating for tour operator:

This was to be a special holiday for our family following a very difficult year. Becky, our travel consultant listened to all our requests, modifying and adjusting our agenda to suit our needs. She obviously had a good knowledge of Sri Lanka and planned an itinerary to satisfy each member of our family. We were given both electronic and hard copies of our travel plans as well as being able to access these documents through the Vamoos app. We were given a local contact in Sri Lanka who replied to our queries quickly and effectively. I would not hesitate to recommend Experience Travel to my family and friends

Family fun and adventure

We're a family of 5 (Kids 14, 12 and 10) and spent 3 weeks in Sri Lanka, touring around a variety of locations, taking in wildlife, culture, cities, countryside, beaches etc. The holiday was beautifully put together by Experience Travel Group and we enjoyed every minute

Rating for tour operator:

The consultant at ETG was a pleasure to work with and took the time to propose and then adjust our itinerary until it was perfect for us - we never felt rushed and communication (both conversations and emails) was very good. The holiday itself surpassed our expectations - we stayed in some amazing places, we had a fantastic driver/guide and it all went without a hitch.

Sri Lanka and the Maldives

We have just returned from a fantastic holiday travelling around parts of Sri Lanka and ending with a few days in the Maldives. It is the first time we have done an experience holiday with our two children ages 8 & 6 and they had the most amazing time and had some fantastic experiences.

We had a fantastic holiday, everything was planned and organised in advance so that we had nothing to worry about once we were away. Life is so busy, the organisation by Nick allowed us to really unwind and enjoy ourselves rather than stressing about how we would get to the next place (my husband and I didn't have one argument lol) I feel that we saw the real Sri Lanka rather than just what you see if you stay in a large tourist hotel. We experienced so many amazing things such as the tour given by the farmer of his land/crops etc and then lunch cooked by his wife, we would never have found this with Nick. Thank you.

Fantastic planning enabled us to have a totally stress free holiday.

Dear Michelle,

This review really made me laugh! It should be our strap line: "preventing marital arguments'. Seriously though - talking the stress out of travel but still enabling you to make surprise discoveries - that's really what it's all about.

Thank you very much for posting this review.

Are are a family of four with two boys aged 8 & 9. This holiday was designed perfectly for all, with a mixture of culture, history, thrill seeking & relaxation in mind. We spent 12 days in Sri Lanka with our guide Raj who truly became our friend during this time. He was accommodating, caring, informative and professional. Raj ensured that felt secure and confident at every event which allowed us to truly enjoy each experience. He is a real asset to your business. We then spent the final 4 days relaxing in The Maldives, the perfect chill out to our previous full on Sri Lankan tour. The whole holiday was managed perfectly by the Experiance Travel Team, every sub let travel agent, hotel, event and restaurant had been notified in advance and we were greeted with genuine smiles and the whole experience flowed along seamlessly incorporating the most perfect itenary. The best endorsement that we can offer is that we will definitely be booking with Experiance Travel when arranging our next multi stop holiday. Mike, Lisa, Roman & Luca.
