What people love about Sri Lanka Tours in November
- Best of Sri Lanka (24 destinations)
Our tourleader and guide was great, calm and patient and was giving us good information on sights and on the way of life in Sri Lanka, great job from him. Since it was a basic intrepid trip, not all transportation was great, some of the private busses had AC, some did not. The local bus was an interesting experience, and the train trips was good, when it come to accomodation I found them ok, but was missing an AC at the hotel in Mirissa, where it was hot. The included meals was all fine, even if a few places was using to little chillie in the curry, it could have been a bit more spicy, even for an non local. Value for money, very good, and I am sure we got to see and experience more in 2 weeks than I would have been able to do on my self in a mounth, a bit hard progam, but absolutly worth it. I can deffinetly recomend this tour for friends and others.
