Experience Travel Group Traveller Reviews

We visited quiet lodges in 3 different areas and enjoyed the peace and tranquility and the variety of locations

Efficient, mindful of our needs and thorough

Just returned from a brilliant 18 day holiday in Sri Lanka. Every day was special with different experiences. With 6 different hotels and areas we really got to see some of the best sights in Sri Lanka.

We have used ETG previously for holidays and this was another excellent trip. They really know how to put a memorable bespoke holiday together.

Our trip to Odisha was a treasure trove of cultural, religious, art, craft and wild life experiences.

Experience Travel listen carefully to our interests and provide a tailor-made itinerary. Their extensive knowledge on the ground is invaluable for putting together truly memorable holidays. This was our twelfth holiday with Experience Travel so we think they are getting it right.

We travelled in a big loop, seeing natural, historical and cultural sites. We had many amazing experiences.

From start to finish, they helped plan and customise an amazing trip. Throughout the booking and actual holiday, they listened to our requests and developed our trip to be unique to us.

A three week combined rest and adventure discovering different areas of Laos. Starting in the North and working our gradually South. Never far away from the fascinating Mekong River, we felt privileged to spend time with the beautiful people of Laos, (even if they did eat everything!). A wonderful holiday.

Our second trip with Experience Travel. We were concerned that going back to them might not be as good as the first time but we were not disappointed. Every fine detail is catered for and the guides and logistical arrangements made on our behalf were faultless.

Muscat , désert and mountains left us wanting more. A great mix, but difficult to do it all justice in the available time.

An excellent guide in the later stages of the holiday gave us good insights and looked after us. We normally self tour but the terrain made local knowledge really beneficial

Wonderful holiday touring south of Sri Lanka

Very informative, proactive and helpful

This was our first time using ETG and it was everything we had hoped for and more. ETG really listened and discovered not just exactly the type of holiday we wanted, but also what our particular interests and preferences were, so the holiday was completely bespoke. Additionally, changing the initial itinerary was no trouble - especially when we were staying in multiple locations. Once in Vietnam, absolutely everything ran so perfectly and completely exceeded our expectations. We combined beautiful hotels with real life Vietnamese experiences. Our brilliant guide took us to meet the real people where we saw and heard first hand how they lived and worked. We cycled around the rice paddies, we practiced Tai Chi during sunrise aboard a traditional Vietnamese junk boat whilst sailing through the amazing limestone mountains of Halong Bay, we visited Vietnamese people in their homes seeing and learning about their cottage businesses and their lives and savoured the best street food in cafes we never would have found ourselves. There are too many high points to mention. To know all tipping was taken care of eased our minds as did the very ethical approach ETG take. We would love to plan another trip soon.

ETG were professional and still friendly and approachable. Communication and overall organisation were excellent. Trip and experience suggestions were unending and totally suited to our interests. Overall ETG were excellent from start to finish!

We spent two wonderful weeks exploring areas we have never been before. The trip began in Hanoi where we explored many local & traditional foods while on a Vespa tour, visiting the Temple of Literature at night when the ambiance & experience is very special & beautiful, walked part of the bridge over the river, explored the prison and railway. Next was a trip to the mountain area of Mai Chu to explore rural villages, meet locals, and relax in nature’s beauty. Then on to Hue for a very up close view of temples, tombs, and garden houses. Traveled from there by train along a majestic coastline to Hoi A where the opportunity to have custom clothes and shoes made was fun. Last stop was Siem Reap which was amazing. The workings of the different local villages was fascinating. From sunrise to dark the area’s beauty was remarkable. We wandered those fields, fishing villages, markets, handmade craft school, and several temples in varying sizes with unique histories.

Holly of Experience Travel Group worked diligently to get to know our interests and then planned an ideal customized itinerary for us. She continually offered to handle any details we preferred or might need help with. Holly asks great questions, listens to the answers, and gets to work to produce a very special package. The local guides were terrific and the timing of the activities perfectly orchestrated. We always felt comfortable that we would be safe, well guided, and hidden gems would be shared with us thanks to the careful partnership with those in the area. Every place we stayed was even better than Holly described!

A wonderful mix of the cultural triangle, tea plantations and coast.

Very efficient and spot on with their suggested itinerary. Helpful documents and appreciated the use of the Vamoos app.
