Experience Travel Group Traveller Reviews

We spent Four days in Siem Reap (Cambodia), Three days in Bangkok and Eleven nights in Phuket (Nai Yang). In Siem Reap we saw the temples of Angkor, Hidden temples, and a quad bike ride out into the Rice fields at sunset. In Bangkok we had an afternoon tour through various areas of the city of Bangkok. We experienced the various cultures on offer in Bangkok and saw some amazing sights. We also spent a morning on the 'food and culture' tour sampling various foods, desserts, and beverages that signify their culture. In Phuket, we spent eleven nights relaxing in the fantastic hotel Dewa Nai Yang Beach located in the national Park. Fantastic location with great beaches. For ourselves, this was perfect as we were away from the more bustling Pa Tong Beach which is popular for revellers. We independently hired a vehicle for two days where we experienced the rest of the island of Phuket. On doing so we saw all the sights Phuket has to offer and we really appreciated even more the location where we stayed.

Where do we start with Experience Travel Group?! Well, they are amazing. From the moment we made first contact, David Gookey went out of his way to tailor make an unforgettable experience for our honeymoon. We gave a small list of criteria and left the rest to David. What David came up with was beyond our expectations. The hotels exceeded what we were expecting, and got better and better and the honeymoon progressed. Davids planning of the trips went smoothly. One stand out point is the obvious relationship Experience Travel Group have with their overseas associates. Everything from start to finish was executed with precision from everyone involved. Would we travel again with Experience Travel Group? Yes. Would we choose David Gookey to arrange everything for us? Yes. Will we be recommending Experience Travel Group to people? Without a doubt. We have such confidence with David and Experience Travel, we will not look elsewhere for any travel in this part of the World. Its a real shame that they don't deal globally. However, im sure that's why they are so good at what they do

Four age 60ish ladies travelled well with the guidance and care of Experience Travel's on the ground guides & drivers. The hotel accommodations were well located and appointed and the restaurant recommendations by the guides were good local places.

Very responsive to all pre planning aspects, going the extra mile to help plan time and distance aspects so there was sufficient time to see each place visited. While we were on the trip there was a glitch with the names on passports versus the names the airline tickets had been booked in, but the needed change was handled well.

Unfortunately the accommodation at Casa Helonica although luxurious, meant access to our WC in Pagoda Gold bungalow was at the end of a path descending a few steps, negotiating a water pond and needing a torch to access it. You need to be aware of this before reserving. If we had been informed we would have refused this accommodation. The second bungalow called Ankor Temple offers a more convenient stay. We also experienced other unfortunate incidences during our holiday in Sri Lanka, too numerous to list which meant we came back with photographs documenting these rather than the great holiday we were expecting..

We were extremely let down by Experience Travel Group and would not recommend them. We felt the holiday was not good value for money.

Our trip was to see all the sites of Sri Lanka and this included Safaris and all the sites in the cultural triangle followed by a week on a lovely small Maldive Island called Koomandu. it was a wonderful experience. The hotels and food were incredible and just small enough to be homely but with very high standards

We live in Crete so arranged this by phone. The service was very professional and they got the itinerary to perfection. Our Chauffeur /guide was amazing and knowledgeable and became a friend for life. We saw so much and experienced such a great deal that cannot wait to arrange another trip. Sri Lanka was hectic but stunning and the Maldives provided the ultimate rest and relaxation. well done you are a credit to the travel industry with your expertise, service and friendship are first class

We spent 3 weeks in Sri Lanks, seeing most of the main tourist sights and staying in the most wonderful villas and hotels.

Experience Travel did a great job in arranging a fantastic holiday for us.

We had an absolutely fabulous time. Sri Lanka far exceeded our expectations it is a lovely clean green and friendly country. We would definitely visit again. The Maldives was as amazing as we expected.

Experience Travel were very good and arranged an excellent tour for us. We only had one unfortunate experience in the whole 14 days holiday.

Sri Lanka tour with a guide driver to visit some of main points of interest, would need numerous visits to see all the treasures. We enoyed the whole experience from the moment we left our front door in the Emirates supplied car to our return home in the same manor. The whole tour exceeded our expections with our the driver guide being excellent. The history of the country, the friendly people who could not do enough, the excellent food and the amazing unigue places we stayed all contributed to make this the best holiday yet. So many good memories.

Our operator knew the country well and this showed in the detailed itinerary that enabled to see everything without being part of the mass parties of the visiting tourists. Would recommend to all.

balance of culture and sight seeing using lovely hotels

helpful and responsive

The holiday was tailored well to our wishes. The flexibility this gave us greatly enhanced our experience. The holiday was relaxed and unhurried giving enough time to wind down between our sightseeing.

Experience travel arranged an excellent holiday with very good tour guides and accomodation

simple relax after a two week holiday in Sri Lanka

Experience Travel were superb from start to finish. The knowledge of their UK staff and of their operators on the ground in both Sri Lanka and the Maldives is the best we have ever experienced.
