    To be able to visit the whole island in 35 days and see the people, places, wildlife and to taste the different cuisines everywhere was amazing. If you want to immerse yourself in Sri Lanka then a longer tour is recommended rather that to see the same things as everyone else.

    Just came back from an amazing trip to Sri Lanka with Showlanka Tours. Our trip was tailormade, and the office team were very responsive & cooperative to organize a tailormade trip to suit our preferences. Our experience got even better when we arrived in Sri Lanka and met our driver Manju. Manju made sure we had the best experience throughout our visit to Sri Lanka. He was was very professional, friendly and informative. He was also very flexible, usually leaving it up to us to decide departure times, activities, etc. Our vehicle was comfortable & air-conditioned, and the hotels chosen were up to standard. We would definitely choose to travel with Showlanka again... and we would request that Manju be our driver!

    What are the best network connections in Sri Lanka covering all locations ?

      To name a few of the network providers in Sri Lanka, Dialog, Mobitel, Airtel and Hutch are well known. Sri Lanka's most popular and largest network providing partner is dialog.

    Meals
    • showlanka tours OperatorWritten September 2023

      From a standard restaurant, lunch/dinner buffet or an ala carte can be bought for around 10$-12$. Rice along with Sri Lankan cuisines are available in plenty of shops much cheaper than standard restaurants but those are too spicy.

    Asked on September 1st, 2023

    Can I pay foreign currency for archaeological sites and national parks entrances?

    Other
    Payments
    • showlanka tours OperatorWritten September 2023

      Major archaeological sites such as Sigiriya, Polonnaruwa, Anuradhapura accept foreign currency and all national parks only accept Sri Lankan currency. So you can avoid inconveniences by having both currencies with you.

    Eric

    Asked on September 1st, 2023

    What is the best place to change my foreign currency?

    Other
    • showlanka tours OperatorWritten September 2023

      Mainly you can change from any bank at the airport arrival terminal and authorized agencies in major cities.

  • H

    Hayley

    Asked on September 1st, 2023

    Can I use my credit or debit cards for local sites?

    Payments
    • showlanka tours OperatorWritten September 2023

      It is very difficult. Card payments cannot be made at any local sites controlled by the government agencies. For example, Elephant Orphanage/National parks, Sigiriya fortress etc. Card payments can only be made at certain stations for tourism activities promoted by private agencies. The best way is keeping cash on hand.
