  This tour was magnificent. Of all the tours we have done around the world, this tour was probably the best. The pace is so well thought out, never rushed with some relaxing stops but also many good things to do and see. The other people on our tour couldn’t make it, so my husband and I by default ended up getting a private tour essentially which was wonderful. Our tour guide, Bhathiya, was one of the highlights. He has such a kind heart and is an amazing person, which made our tour 10x better. He had so much information to share and was so knowledgeable which kept our drives and stops very engaging. The vehicle was always kept immaculate and he was happy to help with anything we needed. Every hotel on this tour was lovely, some really unique stays as well. The itinerary is perfect for anyone who wants to see a lot in two weeks, but not feel exhausted from doing too much. It was a really perfect 2 weeks and our experience with this company, our guide and the country make us want to come back as soon as possible. Thank you Bhathiya for a unforgettable two weeks

  10/10, My wife and I were lucky enough to have our amazing driver/guide Bathi to take us around. He was incredibly knowledgeable and flexible with us at all times. He even showed us some hidden jems that he personally knew. He really made our time in Sri Lanka special and treated us just like family of his own. We will be recommending this journey and Bathi to everyone we know!

  Myself and my Partner (29 years old) had an amazing time on the Semi-Luxury tour of Sri Lanka. The tour was seamless from start to finish and the trip was made by our amazing tour guide Dudly. Dudly was caring, knowledgeable, punctual and very good company for the 2 weeks we were with him. He went above and beyond to ensure we had the trip of a lifetime, often adding additional experiences that were not on the tours itinerary. I would recommend this tour to anyone and, if you are lucky enough to get Dudly as your guide then you will have the trip of a lifetime.

  Overall the tour was very good, our driver Janica was competent and for most of the journey helpful and friendly, however for the first week my wife and I believed we were having to fit in with Janica’s itinerary rather than the tour itinerary, for example we were arriving at hotels at 2/3pm whilst there was still 4/3 hours of daylight available for sightseeing, in the meantime Janica was meeting family or friends after dropping us at the hotels! Day 2, although we had plenty of time we did not visit Sigiriya rock museum or gardens as requested with Prashadika Dilshani 27th July. Day 3, in the morning we visited the Sigiriya rock museum and went on the village tour! The boat ride was a complete waste of time we walked maybe 300 metres each way, we were rowed to the middle of a lake for NO apparent reason, other than our driver insisting we give the boatman a tip, this should be removed from the itinerary! We did NOT go to Pidurangala, despite researching the walk and advising Prashadika Dilshani that we only wished to do the initial and mid parts of the walk, Janica removed this from our itinerary, I questioned him about this and he had already decided that it was too much for us, WITHOUT consultation! In the afternoon we visited Kaudulla national park, the park was as expected, but we had to tour the park in a 25 year old jeep in poor condition, the cushions had no padding, so we were forced to stand most of the time, the vehicle had an issue with the starter motor and had to be ‘push started’ four times. Again this is a quality issue that requires addressing by BH Lanka tours, my understanding is that all safari tours are approx $72/$75, so we could have had a comfortable jeep for the same cost! Janica insisted we give the jeep driver a very generous tip, which was not deserved because the quality of the vehicle was substandard! Day 4 & 5, our stay was at the Amethyst resort, on 6th June I had requested with Prashadika Dilshani that we stay at the Amaya beach hotel, which he acknowledged however in the second tourist service voucher received 4th August this was changed to the Amethyst resort! I suspect that no quality assurance inspection was undertaken by BH Lanka tours, the Amethyst resort would NOT make a 2 star rating, the food was poor, the rooms were dirty and substandard, the hotel had NO atmosphere, the bar was empty both evenings! We walked to the Amaya beach hotel and they had plenty of rooms!! Day 6, we visited Polonnararuwa, then dropped at the hotel after lunch! Day 7, on this occasion Janica offered to take us to the cave temple, so we could determine if we could climb the steps to the cave, we declined, we went on to the Temple of the Tooth. Early afternoon we went to the ‘Cultural dance’ and we were then dropped at the hotel! Day 8, as per the itinerary we visited the botanical gardens then to the viewpoint and we expected to be dropped in Kandy but Janica strongly persuaded us that he would not get a parking space in Kandy and despite our disagreement he dropped us at the hotel mid afternoon! We got a taxi at our expense to and from the hotel and spent the late afternoon and early evening in Kandy. (there were no parking issues!). The remainder of the tour followed the printed itinerary! Had our driver followed the itinerary, arranged to provide a reasonable quality vehicle for the Kaudulla national park safari and had the Amaya beach hotel been of a similar quality to the other hotels on the tour then a higher rating would have been given. Amanda and Peter Norris.

  Our Sri Lanka adventure with BH Lanka Tours was nothing short of unforgettable, and that was largely thanks to our incredible driver and guide, Nishantha. From the very first moment, he impressed us with his professionalism, warmth, and kindness. He was not only highly knowledgeable but also endlessly flexible, always eager to tailor the journey to what we wanted—whether it was pulling over to sample fresh local fruits, arranging the most authentic Ayurvedic massages, or simply sharing stories about Sri Lanka’s history and culture. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and his thoughtfulness made every day flow seamlessly. By the end, we didn’t just have a guide—we had a true friend. Saying goodbye was genuinely emotional. The tour itself was a dream. We were able to experience Sri Lanka’s breathtaking beauty in all its forms: cultural treasures, historic landmarks, stunning landscapes, and the thrill of spotting wildlife on safari. Every day felt like a new adventure. The hotels we stayed in were comfortable and of a high standard, and the food was simply out of this world. My partner, who is vegan, was especially delighted by the abundance of delicious plant-based options. Honestly, it was the best food we’ve ever had—not just on holiday, but anywhere! We are deeply grateful to Nishantha and to BH Lanka Tours for giving us such a meaningful and memorable journey. It was more than just a holiday—it was an experience we’ll treasure forever. We can’t wait to return and explore more of your beautiful country. With heartfelt thanks and love, Matt & Anna.

  The itinerary was really good, busy couple of days and then some time out to relax. The scenery was exceptional misty mountains with waterfalls & tea plantations, grassy forests full of wildlife it was great to see so many wild elephants thriving. The safari’s were a highlight and then we had the opportunity to release some turtles a moment we won’t forget. We enjoyed the culture, the food, the villages and the history. Our tour guide was fabulous he couldn’t do enough for us and was quite flexible, thank you so much Aruna we loved our Sri Lankan adventure!

  Tour was great, but the communication from the tour guide could have been much better. We liked him and he was very polite. Also not happy when we asked him to show us a place where I could go for a massage that was specifically budget friendly. He took us to a place where I felt extreme pressure to have a massage which cost me $85!!!! We discovered a few days later the same massage for under $15!! Very unhappy about that, as being a Sri Lankan, he would have been well aware of the prices. Otherwise the tour itinerary and accommodation was great.
