Tigers and the Himalayas

We had a bespoke tour to Jim Corbett park and then up to Nainital and Binsar. The travel arrangements were excellent,and having the same driver throughout made it so much easier.

Lola at ETG came up with a great itinerary for us, and tweaked it when we needed to slightly alter the dates. The accommodation and travel arrangements were excellent and the driver and tour staff in India were brilliant.

Indian culture and Andaman relaxation

We headed to the andanan islands for 4/5 nights to relax and enjoy some snorkelling in the beautifully clear waters. We then experienced culture, incredible architecture, travel chaos, friendly village families travelling from Delhi, via Agra to Jaipur.

Known as the pink city, we visited a Hindu temple, the palace, observatory and forts. A very early morning bike tour was well worth it. We were really lucky to be in Delhi for holly holly, so the atmosphere was buzzing. The Taj Mahal in Agra was one of the most beautiful buildings that we have ever seen. Far more beautiful than any photograph!

In Depth Tamil Nadu by Tamil adventurers, 18 Mar 2025

The wonders of Tamil Nadu discovered

The holiday was our best yet visit to India and the choice of hotels and excellent service we received everywhere we went was exemplary. You took your extensive knowledge of Tamil Nadu and brought it alive for us - we could not have asked for more.

Fantastic exposure to Vietnam from North to South

An amazing introduction to life in Vietnam exploring the history, cultural and food differences in North, Central and South Vietnam. Good immersion into local family life by staying in a homestay and sampling wonderful home cooked food. Every detail was taken care of so we could immerse ourselves into the holiday and not worry about getting from A to B and knowing we were in safe hands with all our adventures.

Experience Travel are a great operator, we have used them before as they really tailor the holiday to meet your individual requirements and will suggest activities that would work well and add to the whole experience. With Experience Travel you can focus on enjoying the holiday, knowing that you are in safe hands with logistics and activities and no nasty surprise hotels

Undiscovered Northern Kerala by Cecilia 69, 9 Mar 2025

Extraordinary Adventure in India

We had an amazing trip travelling overland from Mysoru to Kochi. We saw fantastic wildlife including many mammals and birds. We stayed in small intimate properties with the most wonderful staff. We felt privileged to meet so many lovely people. We travelled on the hill railway and walked in the Nilgiri hills. We had such fun on the houseboat especially the early morning canoe ride. We made great memories throughout the trip.

Experience Travel Group who devised a bespoke holiday experience for us. Ensuring we had excursions that took us to the usual tourist hotspots but also gave us a chance to see how the ordinary people live. They ensured that we were well looked after at every stage.

An Epic Adventure Across Southeast Asia

There were moments while I was out and about where I thought that everyone should experience this kind of mindful travel that Experience Travel organises as it is not backpacking where you tick off the standard party hot spots and it's not the typical cruise for tourists to visit the standards sightseeing destinations, but an experience where I really felt I get to know the countries, meet great people and do fun stuff that most people miss ...

Rating for tour operator:

Holly did an absolutely amazing job. She put this epic holiday together on very short notice. She asked a lot of important questions upfront, listened carefully to my answers and put a flawless trip together with action packed experiences, beautiful hotels, delightful surprises and a seamless infrastructure of guides, drivers and bookings that led to a holiday that didn't feel rushed while it covered so many experiences that it felt like I was away for much longer. It also felt like a responsible and immersive way of traveling. I learned so much about the countries, the people, the culture and the history of each country which I really enjoyed. I think Experience Travel is an outstanding Travel Agency and more people should travel like this as I really think it is the best way to explore a country and go on a trip of a lifetime.

Wonderful trip to Kerala

We had a guided trip to Kerala organised by ETG. We stayed in a variety of hotels; eco houses; adventure camp and a spice boat. The trip was amazing with excellent local guides throughout

Rating for tour operator:

Sarah at ETG did a great job of meeting our aspirations for the trip, taking account of our desire to see the "real" country and meet people and see the way of life. The itinerary was perfect for this. The local agents were excellent too and kept in touch throughout the trip and ensured that all the transfers, trips and guiding worked seamlessly.
