Experience Travel Group Traveller Reviews

We had a two week trip to Sri Lanka covering the cultural sites as well as seeing elements of the wildlife and still having some downtime by the pool to recharge the batteries. Our three children said it was the best holiday we have had and my wife and I would agree.

Experience Travel Group was very helpful in planning the holiday with suggestions and advice on how to structure the two weeks to get the most out of the trip in a child friendly manner. When we asked for changes and possible other features they would very accommodating and the knowledge of the location was great to build the programme to our liking.

Galle, Sinharaja, Kitulgala, Yala, Marissa over 2 weeks. Plenty of wildlife as hoped for. Hotels were excellent, organisation was great -pre-holiday communication great

Great organisation and advice. The advisor devised the whole trip based on a very high level brief, delivering to all the criteria (and more)

A small group of us (4) travelled around what I consider to be the most wonderful aspects of the REAL Sri Lanka (as opposed to the `tourist hot spots'). We went from Colombo to Ranwelli Village, Negombo; Thilanka, Kandy; Kandalama, Dambulla; The Queens, Kandy (for the Perahera); Club Villa, Benthota; Galle Face, Colombo. We enjoyed a bullock cart ride and boat trip to a banana leaf curry lunch in a mud hut; a safari at Minneria National Park; a trip to Sigiriya; Kandy Perahera; safari up the Maadu Ganga; visit to a turtle hatchery; Peridenya Gardens; Udawatta Rainforest Sanctuary. The actual time on the road was an interesting in itself, as we saw how the people lived.

I have just returned from Sri Lanka. I have booked with Experience Travel five times now, and am already planning my next visit! I will continue to use Experience Travel because of the personal touch they provide and, of course, their efficiency.

We spent two weeks in Vietnam and Singapore with our children (13 and 17). It was an amazing family experience, and we could concentrate on being on holiday rather than on the details of hotels and transport because Experience Travel sorted all that out for us. Their choice of hotels and activities was spot on.

Receptive to what we wanted and highly efficient.

Visiting Mandalay, Bagan, Yangon, trekking in Kalaw, staying on Lake Inle. Tried local cooking, bathing elephants, local markets, train, boat, trishaw and horse and cart journeys through the country and of course plenty of temples. The itinerary was flexible to cope with weather and other factors. Local guides were excellent demonstrating commitment to ensuring we understood and experienced as much as possible. Boutique hotels

Flexible approach to ensure the itinerary matched our requirements. Discussed at length with country experts before we committed to the trip.

Sri Lanka was gorgeous and I would recommend it to anyone

Experience Travel Group were excellent. They know Sri Lanka very well, all of the arrangements worked smoothly and all of the hotels and excursions they recommended were great, and as they described them. We were entirely happy with the service we received and would happily recommend them to anyone.

We spent the first week at three different interesting and stimulating locations and the second week at one villa. This balance was the right mix of activity and relaxation. We had an excellent driver and guide for the first week and were left to relax at the villa for the final six days when we were looked after by a chef and house staff.

All very efficient with clear communication. They read our requirements correctly devising a great itinerary.

We travelled down Vietnam from the North to the South over 3 weeks. Great hotels, guides helpful and knowledgeable, organisation great. We had so many new experiences and enjoyed a well balanced mixture of sightseeing, relaxation and activities which kept us all happy and made sure everyone in the family enjoyed the holiday.

Experience Travel organised everything brilliantly and I was able to relax in the run up to and during the holiday, knowing it was all under control. The communication and documentation in the run up to the holiday was great. I thought the App was very useful to have ready access to documents and weather forecasts.

We took a long time planning our holiday with Matt Brazier who gave excellent advice on what and sometimes what not to do whilst we were there. It was a three week tour taking in all the hot tourist places but also some off the beaten track. Our main focus is wildlife and safari experiences and these were well provided for. All hotels accommodation were excellent - not 5 star but smaller boutique hotels as we don't travel like that but all of a very high standard.

Excellent advice given throughout. Nothing was too much trouble and we made lots of changes and variations before finalising the itinerary. Very knowledgable of the country we visited.

I was lucky enough to take a foodie tour of Vietnam with my daughter. The hotels and travel arrangements were excellent and the tours were unbelievable. I have to mention the street food tour in Hanoi, Ms Vy's cookery school in Hoi An, and the vespa tour in Ho Chi Min as unforgettable.

From start to finish Experience Travel communicated well and met my needs. I would highly recommend them.
