ETG planned our holiday so well and really captured what we wanted in a holiday to suit a family with 3 children aged 15 to 20. when there we had a guide/driver with us and there knowledge of the island was second to none.

a 16 day tailor made itinerary around Sri Lanka to suit a family of 4 with 2 teenage boys

We had a fairly packed itinerary in that we stayed in 7 properties across the 16 days, but it didn't feel like too much at any point. We stayed in luxury, eco-lodges and a house made entirely of mud with no electricity and walls open to the elements. We went rafting, tea picking, rubber tapping, bird watching, cycling, swimming, took a train, and went surfing but also had time to just relax and enjoy incredible scenery.

Experience Travel are by far and away the best travel booking experience I have had and I go abroad 3-5 times a year. Their consultant, Lauren Boyd was exceptional - her communication, her desire to get our itinerary just right for us, her attitude, despite my endless questions and changes, and her knowledge and experience. Experience Travel seem to want the customer to get the right holiday - not just get the booking and shoe horn me into a ready made itinerary that they have done 100's of times before. This takes time - and Lauren always seemed to have time for me and my booking.

Hi Kate

Wow, thank you so much for the very special words. What you describe is exactly the experience we are trying to create, both in the planning stage and during the holiday itself. It is so satisfying to hear when we are successful!

Lauren is currently away but will be back in a couple of weeks and I am sure will be in touch to hear all about it.

Regards

A great 2 centre holiday in Maldives and Sri Lanka

We had a relaxing week in the Maldives and then a really fascinating week of contrasts in Sri Lanka.

We visited all the major sight, such as Dambula can temples POlunaruha, Sigyria , tea plantation, took a train ride. went on safari, saw elephants, visited farms. Our family adventure planned in great detail by Experience travel group. They had done their research and found perfect places for us to visit which were ideal for your family. WE had read much about Sri Lanka in the guide books but as always places change. Thy could provide up to date information about overcrowding in Wild life parks meaning we were always away from huge crowds. The activities they planned for our family were definite local experiences and taught our children a lot. We are planning another trip with them

Rating for tour operator:

Oh my gosh, Experience Travel definitely went the extra mile barring our holiday. All our suggestions for our itinerary were discussed and planned out for us and if a location we had read about wasn't deemed ideal they explained why and made other suggestions. We had farm visits very knowlegeable guide . The hotels matched our family needs so well. When our final night hotel put a huge NEW Year eve supplement on to our cost at the last minute the operator Experience Travel came up with great ideas which were even better than the original hotel. Fabulous and we are hoping to return next year and Use Experience travel Again

Sri Lanka: Up close and personal

We saw many of the sites one should see when visiting Sri Lanka: Sigirya, wildlife parks, temples, etc. But Experience Travel Group took us deeper, creating excursions that allowed us to experience Sri Lanka on a deeper, more personal level. We connected with locals and got a great picture of daily life. We learned as much about being Sri Lankan as we did the history of the nation.

Sara Wells designed our itinerary to meet our varied personal desires, a combination of cultural exploration and quiet leisure time. This tailored experience led to an incredible, life-changing journey for our family.
