What people love about Sri Lanka Tours in July
- Best Touch Of Sri Lanka
Great choice for an adventure and with good comfortable accommodation. Sri Lanka is definitely an under rated destination. This small group tour was packed with a mix of activities, some physically demanding. But also some relaxing time. The driver was pleasant, patient, helpful, knowledgeable and could allow some flexibility in the day.s arrangements as per our requests. Well done.
- Sri Lanka All island Classic Tour
We booked the All in one Classic tour and had a really amazing time! Happy we had Dammika who's a really nice and fun person, always helpful and on top of that he's been a really responsible and good driver. :) With this tour we were able to see Sri Lankas most stunning places and get through a big part of the country in a rather limited time. The itinerary was great and the accommodation given was modern and friendly, except one place which was not really acceptable and therefore 4 from 5 stars. In summary I can recommend this tour by all means.
- Sri Lanka 5 Days Tour Package
We had a great experience with Holiday Lanka Everything was well organized, the hotels were very good clean, and we had full support during the entire trip. Our driver Kasun had good knowledge of the country and attractions and drove safely. I would definitely recommend your services to everyone.
