The perfect taster to India
I was traveling to India for the first time with a friend who’d been there 35 years ago. As two women in their late 60’s we wanted some help and guidance without too much hand holding, this was perfectly arranged into our itinerary. We had a driver throughout the trip who was kind and helpful, we went from Delhi to Jaipur by train then drove to Pushka and onto Udaipur via Fort Kumbhalgarth. We wanted the trip to be about immersing ourselves ...
I was traveling to India for the first time with a friend who’d been there 35 years ago. As two women in their late 60’s we wanted some help and guidance without too much hand holding, this was perfectly arranged into our itinerary. We had a driver throughout the trip who was kind and helpful, we went from Delhi to Jaipur by train then drove to Pushka and onto Udaipur via Fort Kumbhalgarth. We wanted the trip to be about immersing ourselves in Rajastani India, we achieved that in bucket loads! From strolling through New Delhi to early morning markets, rickshaw rides, street food tasting, taking part in a local festival, visiting a block printing factory in Jaipur, shopping for beautiful cashmere, driving through beautiful countryside up to the incredible views from Fort Kumbhalgarth. Then our arrival, as it was getting dark, at our stunning hotel in Udaipur, roaming the streets the next day, more wonderful shopping, a Palace visit, our early morning bike ride into the countryside, a boat trip around the lake and a visit to a treasure store of Indian art and antiques. Sadly we had to come home!
Rating for tour operator:Our trip was put together by Sara, it offered us a great balance of activity and peaceful time, full of a variety of experiences to give us a great taste of India
Thank you so much for all your feedback Pip, I am delighted you embraced India and enjoyed all our immersive experiences!
India does get under your skin... when and where shall we plan for your return?
Best wishes

Amazing holiday exploring Borneo
We’ve had the most amazing time in Borneo exceeding all expectations. From the moment I made contact with James from ETG I’ve had an excellent service. He made time to listen to what I wanted from this trip and answered my numerous questions. He put together some packages for me to choose from, giving advice and tips throughout to find the perfect one. We visited Sepilok, Kinabatangan River, Tabin and Mataking Island. The hotels / transfers ...

He put together some packages for me to choose from, giving advice and tips throughout to find the perfect one. We visited Sepilok, Kinabatangan River, Tabin and Mataking Island. The hotels / transfers / guides / activities were all fantastic. We’ve genuinely had the trip of a life time. I had a couple of questions whilst there. ETG were immediately contactable and answered straight away. The best travel company I have ever used and will be using again for sure. It’s not like any other holiday. The extra touches, such as the ad-hoc advice, travel pack you receive and APP are great and really beneficial. Thank you so much for making my life long dream trip to Borneo a reality. A special thank you to James for all of your advice.
Rating for tour operator:ETG provide a fantastic bespoke service. I genuinely cannot fault a thing from the whole experience start to end. James was my ETG contact and his knowledge and advice was spot on now we’ve been and experienced our trip. I will be using them again.
Hi Bonnita
Thank you so much for your lovely words, they mean a lot. We are so glad you had the adventure you were looking for and can't wait to help with your next one in due course!
James is off on his own personal adventure for a couple of weeks but will be delighted to read this on his return, and I am sure he will be in touch with you directly.
Best wishes

Fascinating personalised Sri Lanka tour.
We booked a 10 day personalised tour covering history (cultural triangle), culture, nature and beach relaxation. We were chauffeured/guided throughout by an excellent guide who was most responsive, helpful and flexible to our needs. The holiday met & exceeded expectations. We are mightily impressed by Sri Lanka (everybody so friendly, customer service seemingly inbuilt) and with Experience Travel Group.

Borneo wildlife
Two weeks exploring areas of Sarawak & Sabah. Orangutans building nests, elephants swimming, hornbills flapping, insects galore and much more. Good food too.

Thank you so much Simon, it was so much fun planning your family adventure and I really look forward to inspiring the next one! Sri Lanka would be a fabulous fit...
Surpassed our expectations
From the moment we landed in Vietnam to the second we left, we made magical family memoirs. We left some of our heart in Vietnam. The people, the culture and the experiences ETH pulled together made our whole experience unforgettable

Rating for tour operator:See above. They took care of everything. Listen d to what we like in a holiday, encouraged us to think broadly and surpassed all expectations with their local relationships and ensuring we were looked after.
Thank you for sharing some of your magical family memories with us, and for trusting me to stretch your comfort zone to have incredible adventures. I'm delighted you enjoyed the overnight train ride and left your heart in Ninh Binh. I can't wait to see where you go next in Asia!

A magical tour of Sri Lanka!
We had the most wonderful 2 weeks travelling round Sri Lanka. It was such a beautiful country, with beautiful, kind people, and amazing food! We had such varied experiences, including walking amongst monkeys, seeing baby turtles hatch, climbing, waterfall walks, cycling, swimming, and a bit of relaxing time on the beach. It was the perfect balance!

Rating for tour operator:Holly couldn’t have done more! From planning the trip, to looking after us while we were away with any queries, and following-up after to get valuable feedback. She is amazing, and I’d definitely recommend her and ETG generally to anyone! Thank you Holly!
Thanks so much for your glowing feedback Selina! It was such a pleasure to help plan your second ETG trip, and so lovely to hear of all your lovely travel stories (the primate tour and turtle hatching both sounded amazing!)
Very much looking forward to helping with your next big family adventure
All th best

Exciting, beautiful, cultural Sri Lanka
We toured Sri Lanka's central and eastern areas, experiencing the culture, the mountains and lakes, wildlife and birds , the ocean, the tea plantations and the incredibly friendly and welcoming people. It was an exceptional holiday which was well matched to our family and well planned.
