- GMGarry· January 20th, 2025Sri Lanka is a very beautiful country and the tour set up by Intrepid was a great way to explore. We were lucky in that we went up to Jaffna so got to see a part of the country that is less "touristy" than other parts as ventured back down. Our guide and drivers were superb and worked none stop for the full tour - as vegetarians a number of the activities around cooking were very "meat" orientated and unfortunately Intrepid had not passed this on but overall it was a great trip, with amazing sites - made better by a guide that went the extra mile. Accomodation was ok but in fairness based on what we paid I am not sure we expected much more - I get the impression that Intrepid don't necessarily audit their accommodation much as some of them are definitely getting tired but equally they were generally clean and accessible.Show more

- ACara B· September 18th, 2019Overall, I enjoyed the trip and many of the activities included. Our guide, Prabarth, had a welcoming personality and shared great information about life in Sri Lanka. However, there were many instances where we were told to eat at the hotel buffet or that was the included meal. I expected more recommendations from the trip leader about local restaurants. For example, instead of the cooking experience in a local home in Jaffna, we ate at a hotel buffet rather than in a local restaurant. None of the buffet meals were as pleasurable as the cheap, local dining options that we had on other nights. Further, it seemed like some of the travel experiences were not very genuine. For example, we road a local bus for part of the ride from Jaffna to Trincomalee, but the coach bus followed us the entire time and picked us up part of the way there. The same was true of the train ride from Anuradupura to Jaffna. These ""local"" experiences then seemed staged rather than authentic.Show moreTrip date: December 2018
