Experience Travel Group - London

Teresa Fearis

So grateful to Experience Travel Group for curating such a beautiful and immersive visit for us to Sri Lanka. From the moment we were picked up from the airport we felt transported into another world - full of colour, comfort and care. Our guide brought each new place we visited even more to life with his stories of, and passion, for the Sri Lankan history, culture and nature. Although we stayed at many beautiful places, including Notaries House, The Last House, Amba Estate and Taru Villas, our highlight was The Mud House where we spent time with the team who built and maintain this incredible ecosystem. It is clear that ETG take care of their people - employees and guests - ensuring that tourism continues to support the local economy, in the most respectful way. We would highly recommend using them and excited to travel with them and their partners in other parts of the world - thank you Sam and team.

I have also just returned from my second amazing holiday with ETG. And what an experience! Firstly, the opportunity to get just far enough out of your comfort zone elevates a luxury holiday into the experience of a lifetime.
Also, if anything does happen while you are away, their support and care is amazing. In my case I developed a small retinal tear which needed urgent treatment in an eye hospital. Our wonderful guide drove 6 hours to Colombo where I was met by Thushni, who runs their operation in Sri Lanka. She kindly stayed with me all day and helped me navigate the confusion of a big Sri Lankan hospital, which I can't believe I'd have managed on my own.
Aside from this little hiccup, the trip was mind-blowingly brilliant. We stayed in ridiculous places, off the beaten track and full of luxury touches that big western hotels could never replicate.
The hand made table decorations are just one tiny example of this.
It really is the best way to see another part of the world, and not just stay in a posh hotel on the beach. Although we did that too!

We have just returned from an epic 3-week trip to Thailand. From the moment we started conversations with Sam and Lola we knew we would be in safe hands. ETG first hand knowledge of all the destinations and experiences mean that they can bespoke the perfect trip for you. The trips were personalised with great guides meaning we experienced Thailand from a different perspective. The whole trip worked like clockwork from start to finish, we didn’t worry about anything, and communication was top while we were in Thailand. I work in hospitality and it’s all about the small details and surprise and delight moments which ETG get. Book with ETG you will not regret it!

Thanks to Lola and the ETG team, I just returned from a fascinating trip to Sri Lanka. I hiked several stages of the Pekoe Trails, spent time in Galle and Colombo and also took the scenic train ride to Ella. The entire trip was so well organized, the places I stayed were fabulous, the trail guides were knowledgeable and helpful and my chauffer/guide a professional who helped me navigate all the activities I had planned. All in all an amazing trip. Thank you, Lola, and the ETG team!

Much was promised us, and much was delivered. The five star treatment never faltered throughout.

To catch our departure flight we had to leave our Colombo accommodation at 6.15 a.m. and on the evening before the AC in the vehicle provided to us by ETG developed a fault. Rather than asking us to go without AC for a forty minute journey I the coolest part of the day, ETG laid on a replacement mini-van, complete with its driver, at just a few hours' notice. As per this example, everything was beautifully arranged for us. Very good service in the planning stages also.

Our second amazing holiday booked through Experience travel….this time to Thailand. The attention to detail and personal service in planning resulted in exactly the holiday we wanted. The private tours with guides away from the main tourist hotspots gave us a more authentic experience of this Beautiful country.

We have now taken holidays to India and Vietnam with ETG and both were similarly excellent. We received knowledgeable advice in planning the holidays, great service in making the bookings and then all of the in-country activities worked like clockwork. I strongly recommend this company.

Just returned from fabulous 25 days in India, Hyderabad to see the cricket and then Kerala. Experience Travel spent time to understand how we wanted to holiday - to take things slowly and see different things (not the usual touristy things) and the itinerary worked well.
We wouldn't hesitate to use them to orgainse another trip for us.
