The ultimate family holiday with teenagers!

It is so hard to describe as it was all so wonderful, from the elephants strolling past our Tree Top accommodation, watching turtle hatch and lay eggs, learning all about tea, culture and history to staying the most incredible places - all so different, some completely open and in the nature, others on old tea plantation with incredible views or small boutique hotels overlooking the crashing waves.....from incredible hikes, cycle rides, white water rafting, climbing ancient rocks, swimming in lakes and water falls, canyoning, to wandering around markets, temples or just reading a book in the hammock in the heat of the day. Foods was outstanding - all places had amazing cooks, local produce and local food - and just delicious and so much variety - never eaten so healthily on holiday ! and catered for my vegetarian daughter. So friendly where ever we went, the best driver who looked after us so well for 18 days and just wonderful, wonderful memories. Thank you to everyone who just made our dreams come true - from and a Mum with 19 year twins..we had the most precious fun family time together.

Sri Lanka Family Trip

We had 2 wonderful weeks in Sri Lanka with a 6 and 9 year old. The whole trip was exceptional and was just a very special and memorable trip full of experiences that we feel very grateful to have been a part of. ETG really made it so easy - it was our first long haul trip with the kids and I was worried about it but I should have because it was amazing and we were so well looked after. Loved every second, wish we could do it all over again!

Sri Lanka with Experience Travel Company

We loved Sri Lanka, the friendly people, beautiful scenery and so much wildlife. We travelled as a family and the boys loved spotting elephants, monkeys, crocodiles, water and land monitors and so many birds and lizards! It was the perfect mix of activity and culture with some relaxation. A real adventure!

Outstanding private tour of Sri Lanka for solo parent and toddler

A 3 week private tour around Sri Lanka for solo parent and 2.5yo toddler. Every detail was so well planned and considered that all we needed to do was turn up and enjoy - and enjoy we most certainly did! The itinerary had been specifically crafted to consider the toddler but also ensure enough culture and parent focused items. A brilliant balance. Good communication with the local team in advance about items such as car seats, meaning a smooth arrival process when we landed.
