- PFPollyanna Mary Jane· September 1st, 2025We enjoyed so much of this tour. Being older and vulnerable in health, some parts were abandoned as too onerous. Our wonderful guide, Nalin Jayalath, suggested excellent substitute activities. He made sure we also experienced Sri Lankan daily culture and was always concerned for our requests and needs as well as the tour inclusions . The cultural dance night was a mesmerising highlight.Show moreTrip date: August 2025
- Oliver· July 30th, 2025We did a customised version of this tour within one day - Capital Lanka was very happy to accommodate this. This was fantastic, a really amazing experience of Sigiriya Rock, a short boat trip, amazing cooking class and food, followed by a Safari with elephants. We cannot recommend them or their hospitality enough, it was a sensational experience and I wish we could have stayed longer.Show moreCapital Lanka Tours commented on this reviewWe’re so pleased to hear that you enjoyed your customized one-day tour with us.

- EKEmma· April 30th, 2025We had a brilliant time on the Depth Touch of Sri Lanka tour with Sakun our guide! We saw and learnt so much about Sri Lanka in such a short period of time. The views from Sigiriya Rock were stunning and well worth the climb. We loved seeing the elephants on safari in Minneriya/Kaudulla National Park, and felt so privileged to see a leopard in Yala! The train to Ella and climbing Little Adam’s peak were also very special. The tour was extremely well organised and everything went really smoothly. The hotels we stayed in were lovely - thank you for organising them Capital Lanka Tours! Sakun has been a brilliant guide and friend to us. He has been incredibly patient, an excellent organiser, very respectful but ready for a joke too! The next day’s itinerary was always clearly explained at the end of the day. We always felt safe with Sakun’s guidance and really appreciated his careful driving. Thank you so so much! He was the best tour guide we could’ve asked for and we are so happy we had him. 10/10 for Sakun! The only part of the tour we didn’t enjoy so much was the visit to Damro tea factory. It was a massive plantation and the factory itself was interesting, but we feel that the cost of the drive round the plantation was a bit steep for what it was. Perhaps a visit to a smaller, more authentic factory would be a nicer experience? We would definitely recommend booking with Capital Lanka Tours and have Sakun as your guide. Just for reference for fellow travellers, we were able to pay for the entrance fee to Sigiriya, the botanical gardens in Kandy and the tea plantation drive with credit card. The other activities needed to be paid for in cash.Show moreCapital Lanka Tours commented on this reviewThank you for taking the time to share your thoughtful review.

- AEdward· May 1st, 2024Upon our arrival at the airport, we were warmly greeted by our exceptionally calm, friendly, and patient tour guide, Buddhika, setting the tone for a smooth journey ahead. Every aspect of the trip was met with satisfaction, thanks to the flawless coordination by Capital Lanka Tours and the guidance of Buddhika. We had the privilege of immersing ourselves in the people, culture, cuisine, and lifestyle of the country, making it an extraordinary holiday. Special commendation and gratitude are owed to Buddhika, our tour guide, for his consistent sharing of insights into the country, its culture, culinary delights, and his thoughtful recommendations for places to visit and capture memorable photographs. Without a doubt, we will revisit the country, but only through Capital Lanka Tours, and with the hope that Buddhika will once again be our trusted companion in exploring its wonders!Show moreCapital Lanka Tours commented on this reviewThank you for taking the time to leave us a wonderful review.
