Perfectly constructed

Our holiday in Sri Lanka and a few days in the Maldives was well constructed against our family’s needs and interests. Great trips and accommodation with amazing food throughout.

Perfect honeymoon, perfectly organised

We spent one week in Sri Lanka where we got immersed in the culture and sights of the beautiful country. All of our needs were catered for by the excellent hotel staff and our private chauffeur. After a slightly more adventurous week we had a week of pure relaxation in The Maldives. It was literally like living in paradise.

We spent one week in Sri Lanka where we got immersed in the culture and sights of the beautiful country. All of our needs were catered for by the excellent hotel staff and our private chauffeur. After a slightly more adventurous week we had a week of pure relaxation in The Maldives. It was literally like living in paradise. The island choice was perfect for us as it had the right mix of luxury and activities. We went snorkelling around the impressive reef every day and didn't get tired of it.

Rating for tour operator:

We chose Experience Travel because we knew one of the staff and knew how much he lives and breathes travel. We put all our faith in him to organise a perfect honeymoon and we weren't disappointed. He understood us and what we wanted to get from the holiday.

Superbly professional and personally designed Sri Lanka cultural triangle and Maldives itinerary

A thoroughly enjoyable 13 night trip around the cultural triangle in Sri Lanka with a few days unwinding at the Adaaran Resort Rannali in the Maldives. Very well balanced blend of luxury and boutique style hotels and villas with very friendly staff. The driver/guide was excellent - knowledgeable, good English and a safe driver.

Beyond our Expectations

One week traveling around Sri Lanka and 5 days in the Maldives. Have been extremely well looked after and have met some of the poorest people in the world working on Sri Lankan farms to some of the wealthiest in the Maldives.

From our first contact with Becky at ETG we have been looked after, we spent 4 months planning the holiday with her, changing details of trips and hotel before we even making a deposit.

A well planned itinerary which was tailored to our needs, and gave us an excellent trip

We enjoyed a week in the Maldives, followed by a week in Sri Lanka, touring. The hotels and the activities we did were all good - and we were able to adjust the itinerary to suit us on the ground. Our driver was able to suggest additional activities to replace ones we decided we didn't want to do. This meant that we have some excellent memories of this holiday.

Dear Jacqueline,

So pleased to hear you had a wonderful holiday. We work very hard to build flexibility into the itineraries, so I'm very pleased your chauffeur-guide was able to assist you with this. Sri Lanka is after all, the land of 'serendipity'!
