  • Splendour of Sri Lanka -   ( 8 Days and 7 Nights tour in Sri Lanka ) reviewer 1
    · July 28th, 2025
    Shalu was my driver during a 10-day solo trip around Sri Lanka, and he was truly exceptional. His extensive knowledge of the area was impressive—on several occasions, locals recommended places to visit, and Shalu had already taken me there! He knows the roads inside out and ensures you reach your destination on time and in comfort. I’d highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and professional driver. He takes the stress out of navigating, allowing you to fully enjoy the stunning scenery Sri Lanka has to offer.

    A perfect trip. My wife and I spent a memorable week in this wonderful country made extraordinary by the quality of our driver Niran (aka Denzel W), a true "gentleman", attentive to all our needs, humble, discreet when necessary and going far beyond our expectations in all situations. An exceptional driver, a vehicle in perfect condition, a credit to his employer. Demand Niran to accompany you on this wonderful adventure.

    We booked the 8 Days and 7 Nights tour in Sri Lanka as a couple. Our driver, Janaka, was accommodating and caring. He was punctual and flexible and always friendly with us. He is a very good driver as driving in Sri Lanka can be challenging. As we appreciate good food, his restaurant recommendations were always great. Our tour was extensive but well-planned and we were shown so much and had amazing experiences in this beautiful country in just 8 days. We chose not to upgrade the accommodation so we can confirm some hotels were modest. We absolutely loved our holiday in Sri Lanka and we pass on great thanks to Beauty Lanka Travels for their organization and their attention to detail to create such an unforgettable holiday.

    Beauty Lanka Every inquiry we made prior to booking our holiday with Beauty Lanka Travels was answered promptly, pleasantly and professionally. This high level of customer care continued after we booked our trip to Sri Lanka. The ladies that we dealt with via phone or email could not have been more helpful and understanding. The accommodation that was provided to us was exceptional. We could not have wished for more from any of the motels. Note: We upgraded to luxury and we would recommend this to anyone if their budget allows. Our tours were extensive and well-planned and we were shown so much and had amazing experiences in this beautiful country in just 8 days. Our driver, Niran, was accommodating, caring and thoughtful. He was punctual and flexible and always warm and friendly with a sense of humour. Nothing was ever too much trouble. He took very good care of us. We absolutely loved our holiday in Sri Lanka and we pass on much thanks to Beauty Lanka Travels for their excellent customer service and their attention to detail in organising such an unforgettable holiday. We highly recommend this tour company. Debbie Clews & Linda Brien Australia

      The tour includes standard to budget-level hotels (1-2 star), but we can easily customize this to suit your preferences. There are no scheduled activities on the final day, so you're free to arrange an early departure. Travel time from Mirissa to the airport is approximately 3 hours. The tour is led by an English-speaking driver-guide who will assist you throughout the journey. The package includes accommodation, transportation, and most activities. Any optional excursions, meals not specified in the itinerary, or personal expenses would be at an additional cost. We will send you the best rate for solo travelers shortly.

    Lydia

    Asked on June 5th, 2025

    I'm unsure about the tour start time given my flight arrives at 2:50 AM. Does this mean we begin Day 1 with the temple (in the itinerary description: DAY 1: Day 1 Airport to Sigiriya / Dambulla Upon your arrival at the airport, a friendly and proficient English-speaking tour leader will be there to welcome you and accompany you to your destination in Sigiriya. Visit the Golden Cave Temple at Dambulla along the way. Depending on where the elephants are, you may go on a 4x4 safari in the evening at Minneriya, Kaudulla, or Hurulu Eco National Park.) visit that same night, or will I check into the hotel for the remainder of the night and start Day 1 with the temple visit in the morning? Could you please clarify the schedule?

    Tour Details
    Transport
    • Beauty Lanka TravelsOperatorWritten June 2025

      Since your flight arrives at 2:50 AM, after immigration and baggage collection, you can expect to exit the airport by around 4:00 AM. From there, your English-speaking tour leader will warmly welcome you and begin the journey toward Sigiriya. On the way, we'll stop for a relaxing breakfast, and you'll likely reach the Dambulla Cave Temple around 8:00–9:00 AM. After the temple visit, we'll head to your hotel where we will try our best to arrange an early check-in for your comfort. You'll have time to freshen up and relax before meeting the rest of the team and continuing with any additional activities planned for the afternoon or evening, such as the 4x4 safari, depending on elephant sightings and your energy levels. Please feel free to let us know if you'd like to rest more on Day 1—we're flexible and happy to adjust based on your comfort.
