What people love about Sri Lanka Tours in July
- Sun Baths on Sands plus surfing
What I love about this tour was I enjoyed just as the way I exactly expected. The itinerary was perfectly followed.
- North & East Highlights Sri lanka 12 Days [Comfort "Summer"]
I had a great experience with Show Lanka Tours! I spent 20 days in Sri Lanka very recently and my tour was arranged by Show Lanka Tours. i wanted to have this tour mixed with relaxed and exciting activities. Mr. Janaka prepared the details of the tour based on my preferences and i am really happy with what he offered. He was also very flexible! Janaka allocated Mr. Manjula as the tour guide and driver. I could not have asked for a better driver and guide than Manjula! He is knowledgeable, reliable, very caring and has a good sense of humor! As i wanted to try Sri Lankan traditional food, he brings me to all those places where i could taste the traditional food including super tasty street food! I really had an enjoyable time with Mr. Manjula while discovering the beauty of Sri Lanka! I highly recommend Show Lanka Tours and, of course, Mr. Manjula for anyone who wishes to have a memorable experience in Sri Lanka.
An Unforgettable Journey Through Sri Lanka with the Best Guide Ever! My recent trip to Sri Lanka was nothing short of incredible, and I owe a huge part of that to my amazing driver, Jude. From the moment I arrived, Jude made sure I felt safe, comfortable, and fully immersed in the beauty and culture of this stunning country. What truly set this experience apart was how Jude went above and beyond to ensure I didn’t just see Sri Lanka – I experienced it. He wasn’t just a driver; he was a guide, a protector, and a friend who took the time to understand what I wanted from my trip. Whether it was exploring bustling local markets, visiting breathtaking temples, or indulging in the most delicious authentic food, Jude made it all happen effortlessly. His knowledge of the culture, history, and hidden gems allowed me to engage with Sri Lanka on a deeper level. From spontaneous stops at scenic viewpoints to introducing me to local artisans and unique cultural experiences, I felt like I was traveling with someone who genuinely cared about my experience. What impressed me most was Jude’s attentiveness and kindness. He always had my best interests at heart—whether it was ensuring I was hydrated during the heat, helping me navigate cultural nuances, or offering helpful insights that made every moment more enriching. His warm personality and professionalism made the trip smooth and stress-free. Thanks to Jude, I left Sri Lanka not only with unforgettable memories but also with a deep appreciation for the country and its people. If you're planning a trip and want a truly immersive and worry-free experience, I cannot recommend him enough. Sri Lanka is breathtaking, but with Jude, it becomes an adventure of a lifetime!
