- 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 moreIntrepid Travel commented on this reviewHi Garry!

- LTLeigh· January 11th, 2025This tour is an excellent start to experiencing Sri Lanka’s wonderful culture, history and food. The local guide was excellent and had so much information to share about Sri Lanka’s history and religion while also ensuring we experienced local culture and food. The food experiences on this tour - cooking classes, market visits were exceptional and Sri Lanka is now my favourite Foodie destination. The hotels are also a highlight - beautiful rooms at very very nice hotels.Show moreIntrepid Travel commented on this reviewThank you for taking the time to leave a review.
