We have just returned from a truly magical visit to Uganda organised to perfection by Experium Travel. Wow factors galore,every day was different but every day was amazing! Uganda is so much more than the mountain gorillas, its such a diverse Country with lovely people and wildlife .Yvette has many years of experience as a tour manager and this certainly shows. She gives you a varied itinerary using the best local guides,her attention to detail is second to none. Would not hesitate to travel with Experium again. Thanks Yvette for giving us so many great memories
We are on our way home from a tour of Madagascar with Yvette of Experium Travel. This has been our fifth tour with Yvette and we cannot fault any of them. If you travel with Experium you will be guaranteed a unique and enjoyable holiday - far from the maddening crowd!!!
A lot of thought has been put into each tour to make them enjoyable and memorable. She chooses the best hotels and restaurants available in each area, also the most knowledgeable local guides.
These tours are suitable for both couples and singles - nobody feels left out.
Yvette certainly has a hand on and professional approach & accompanies every tour to ensure everything runs seamlessly. Her repeat customers speaks volumes.
Madagascar was absolutely awesome. It certainly has so much to offer! We were in photo-heaven on this trip! Try it, you won’t be sorry!
Just finished another fantastic tour with Experium Travel. Yvette is a very experienced Tour Manager and it shows in every aspect of her holidays. Everything is organised to perfection. The hotels and restaurants selected are of the highest quality available. The groups are small with a good mix of couples and single travellers but all are friendly and the fact that so many people are repeat customers says it all. Yvette always travels with the group and so ensures that everything runs smoothly, making the most out of everything a country has to offer. This trip to Madagascar has been incredible - the scenery, wildlife, food and accommodation have been superb. I do not hesitate to recommend Experium Travel to anyone who wants to ‘experience the world’.
I have just returned from a wonderful holiday - an amazing adventure and experience - COSTA RICA.
Experium uses the very best of hotels and Rainforest lodges. Yvette - the Managing Director - has everything covered - employing top class drivers and local guides whose knowledge is mind bogglingly extensive.
When our coming home flights were cancelled at the last minute - at 1 am in the morning - Yvette was on the case immediately- rebooking us all onto next day flights.
Truely nothing was too much trouble.

I can’t speak highly enough of Yvette Barnett, the owner of Experium Travel company. Yvette has over 35 years experience in the travel industry working with large travel companies before starting her own business. There’s not much she doesn’t know or many places she hasn’t been!
Yvette plans and guides all of her tours herself, therefore offering a very personal experience.
Vietnam & Cambodia had been really high on my bucket list places to visit.
The trip was far more than I could ever have anticipated.
Her tag line is ‘we don’t just travel the world, we experience it’ and experience it we did.
Group sizes are kept small, and Yvette’s organisation and attention to detail is phenomenal.
Three weeks with a full itinerary and it was absolutely seamless.
Yvette has an incredibly loyal following who have toured with her many times and I can see why. Her enthusiasm is infectious and I would challenge anyone to find a better tour operator/guide.
It is really important to Yvette that everyone is treated as an individual, not just a number in a group. Her tours are suitable for everyone. Whether young, not so young, male, female, couples or singles. They also offer excellent value for money.
I am ready to book my next adventure.
I travelled to Nepal and Churchill for a Summer Artic tour with Experium Travel. Cant' wait to travel with them again.
I would have no hesitation in recommending this company. They offer a very personal bespoke travel experience with some fabulous locations.
I went with Experium Travel at the beginning of the year to Arctic Finland. This was my first holiday after lockdown and my second with Experium Travel and it proved to be an amazing experience. Experium Travel had a wonderful itinerary. We went ice fishing, husky dog sledding and stayed in wonderful Aurora cabins.
Experium Travel is a young company but Yvette, the owner, has many years of experience in the travel industry and understands what clients require in an escorted tour.
Yvette’s attention to detail on her super itineraries and the fact that she is always on hand to help and advise even before her tours depart ensures that everyone is happy and relaxed right at the onset of the tours.I am looking forward to my next unique adventure next year.
Last week I returned from a most amazing trip to Uganda with Experium Travel and Tour director Yvette Barnett. It was superb in every way. We explored 4 national parks, had expert and talented guides, we had close, very intimate encounters with many wild animals and finally spent a morning with mountain gorillas.
It would be hard to pick the highlight as there were so many, but I think the tree leopards and male lions were my personal favourites.
Fantastic short break to the hidden wilds of West Cornwall with Experium. This really is the very best of travel companies for small group tours taking you off the beaten track- fantastic accommodation, great food, unique experiences and all led expertly by the very best in tour managers in Yvette Barnett. Nothing is too much trouble. If you want to experience a destination beyond the normal tourist trail then this is the company for you- looking forward to my next booked trip with Experium!
I have been fortunate to travel with Yvette (Owner/Tour Leader Experium Travel) & because of the excellent holiday experience I have had I have now booked a further 2 tours. The groups are mixed couples & solo travellers it really is a good mix of people, I am a solo traveller myself & can say Yvette ensures everyone feels part of the group. The accommodation is always first class & our local guides are excellent. I had decided to extend my holiday & fly to Bhutan alone & Yvette contacted an agent on my behalf & helped me organise my trip nothing is too much trouble. Yvette is always willing to help or reorganise parts of the tour if it benefits the travellers. I would definitely recommend Experium Travel you will not be disappointed
I met Yvette Barnett, the founder of Experium Travel at a time I was looking for something different, exiting and adventures from my holidays and my first trip with Experium Travel to Nepal was amazing and delivered everything I was dreaming of and some.
Yvette's knowledge, experience, enthusiasm and attention to detail leaves nothing to chance.
As a result of my first tour I've already booked three more, China and Vietnam this year 2020 and The Arctic next year 2021 and I can't wait.

An amazing trip to Nepal during November 2019, a favourite country of mine was made more special on this particular visit with Yvette. Her attention to detail, her local contacts, choice of hotels and restaurants were all second to none and enhanced our whole journey.... I also got the opportunity to see several areas I had missed on my previous visits to Nepal. Small group size and Yvette's personal attendance as Tour Manager/Guide is a winning combination for the success of Experium Travel. I certainly hope to travel again with Experium.....

My recent trip to Southern India with Experium Travel was a fantastic experience. Yvette is an excellent tour manager. She made sure everyone was kept informed of what was happening and included impromptu trips on free days if we wanted. Highlights included early morning walks on the beach to watch the fishermen haul in their nets, temples (a favourite of mine) and a night on a boat on the backwaters of Kerala.
I’m hoping to book onto a Nepal trip in the future. Experium is now my first port of call when looking for a trip away.

We have just returned from a trip to Tamil Nadu and Kerala with Experium Travel accompanied by the owner Yvette -who actually leads all the trips herself.
This was a truly memorable experience, Yvette ensured that the whole of our small group was able to interact with the local people as well as the local area. She always employs the best, most knowledgable local guides and is able to adjust daily itineraries as the need arises a fact that we all appreciated. We all got to see the best parts of South India at the best time of the year.
This was our second trip with Experium Travel and we have already booked to go to Uganda and Mongolia in the near future!!
Can’t wait for our next Experium experience!!!

I had my first amazing experience with Experium Travel to Tamil Nadu and Kerala in January/ February, and enjoyed it so much that I have booked two more trips.
I was very impressed with the owner, Yvette Barnett, who travels with all the trips. She chooses the best time of year to travel to each destination, and changes things around in the day sometimes, to suit the conditions.
Her attention to detail is superb. Nothing is too much trouble. The local guides are carefully chosen for their knowledge, delivery and performance.
The groups are small and Yvette makes sure that everyone is included, and has people to eat and explore with in free time.
We saw temples, wildlife, markets, beaches, fishermen bringing in their catch and had a lovely relaxing night on a houseboat in the backwaters of Kerala. The hotels were great and varied, and the food excellent. I can confidently recommend this company very highly.
