Truly an adventure that made the tastebuds and senses come alive. Some very sensational moments with thunderstorms raging whilst in a little boat on a croc infested river! Some memorable moments as macaque monkeys wander across your villa terrace. Some amazing moments as an alpha orangutan stares at you and bares his teeth, whilst you stand only a few metres away in the real rainforest. Borneo live the adventure.

From the beginning Experience travel listened, engaged and translated our wishes into an itinerary that was as close to perfect as possible.

We visited Malaysia for three weeks and travelled from one end to the other, ending up in Borneo. The planning was exemplary - we were met by guides and drivers in all the right places at all the right times. Our tours were all good - interesting and informative. It was great to be introduced to all the different types of street food. The local people were very friendly. It was a wonderful holiday.

Experience Travel gave us great service both while we were booking the holiday and throughout our time there. The planning was perfect. The guides and drivers were friendly. When we had a problem in one of the hotels, the area manager contacted us to make sure everything was OK and also contacted the hotel to make sure that we were compensated with a room upgrade.

Travel around the key sights, seeing the wildlife and climbing Mount Kinabalu. It was an exhilarating experience, leaving us with precious memories of such a different scenery.

Excellent knowledge of the area and able to propose an excellent itinerary which proved stimulating in practice with no hiccups, just happy memories.

James from ETG understood my health problems & tailored the holiday to suit my needs. I was surprised at how much I could do & my capacity to go on what I considered beforehand to be difficult terrain. The holiday was magical & we saw some wonderful wildlife & stayed in great rainforest lodges which had very knowledgable & enthusiastic staff, with excellent food. Everything ran smoothly & all our transfers were trouble free. After experiencing a trouble free holiday, I would highly recommend ETG

Excellent, efficient & knowledgable.

We visited half a dozen places - Kuala Lumpur, an agricultural village, Cameron Highlands, Penang, Kota Kinabalu and the area round the mountain, Sandakan, and Gaya Island. We enjoyed both the cities and the wildlife areas, though for us the extraordinary and abundant wildlife in Borneo was the highlight. The guides were exceedingly knowledgeable and helpful and always willing to go the extra mile.

The organisation was seamless and inspired great confidence. Responses to questions were immediate and to the point. Their ability to tailor activities and events was very good. We simply knew from initial contact onwards that this company would deliver what it promised.

From beginning to end the organisation was second to none. The hotels and lodges were really lovely with very friendly and helpful staff. 3 of the hotels and lodges were of a very high standard. Gorgeous. That said the other lodges were more basic but very comfortable, good food,friendly and in idyllic situations. Our guides were excellent, very knowledgeable and good company. We saw so much wildlife, Orang Utans, proboscis monkeys and other species of monkey, various types of hornbill,snakes, bats, squirrels, flying lemurs and so many more. All our internal flight connections were on time, in fact the whole holiday ran like clockwork. I can only say I would have loved the holiday to have lasted longer.

As previously said James was very helpful, informative, patient, enthusiastic and nothing seemed too much for him. Always happily answering my many questions and replying promptly.
