    Our guide Tilly and driver Pavi were wonderful. They looked after the four passengers, 75 to 80 and one on crutches. They could not have been more caring, responsible and helpful. They changed the itinerary to suit our requirements and limitations , ensured the accommodation was suitable and found good restaurants for us. We couldn't have asked for better. Thanks Violeta, Doug Jenny, John

    Overall, it was a great experience. The itinerary covering various cities was excellent—well-balanced between mountain and beach destinations, offering a nice mix of scenery and activities. The drivers were very kind and professional, making the journey smooth and enjoyable. The hotels were generally good, though not all met our expectations in terms of comfort or service. One important note: TourRadar should clearly indicate that not all activities are included in the price, as this was not immediately obvious during booking.

    My husband and I had a great experience on the Sri Lanka tour. Pros - Our guides Thili and Pavi were excellent hosts. They were always very punctual and attentive to the needs and decisions of the group, thank you so much for sharing with us with so much love and passion about such a beautiful country! - In the transfers we always felt safe and we really liked that they always took great care in driving to avoid hurting any animals along the way (even the iguanas). - They helped us coordinate a hotel night before starting the tour. Cons - We initially requested the tour in Spanish and the tour was in English. - From the time we purchased the tour the responses were slow and inconclusive. Days before we had to confirm ourselves whether the tour would take place or not. - The hotel that was mentioned for Ella was not respected and left much to be desired. - Most of the hotels were not centrally located. - Some of the sightseeing was only by bus and we did not stop to see key places. Case in point, Kandy. Sri Lanka is a beautiful country, and we loved getting to know it in the company of our knowledgeable guides. Hopefully this feedback will serve to make it a better experience for future travelers.

    · April 15th, 2025
    Firstly, the accommodation was great throughout the tour. Sadly, the ‘great’ stops there! Day1, we had no information about the times, or events of the day. Therefore, we simply weren't available. The guide asked the other group members what it was they wanted to see, in a town they knew nothing about!! Total fail in tour guiding! The 3 car accident on day 2 was the fault of the crazy, over fast driver, who ran into the back of two other vehicles! We stood on the edge of the road for a couple of hours, before the guide informed us of a shop/cafe 1 minutes around the corner, where we could wait safely for the replacement vehicle! Tour guide fail! Every day was an uncertain calamity of events. Unrealistic times frames, and disappointments from the lack of tour knowledge, and ability of the tour guide. I was particularly upset by the events on the Kandy to Ella train, where we were told to get on the train, with no ticket! We were removed from our seat by the train guy, as someone had made a backhanded payment for a ticket! He then took us into his cab to try to extort money, as our tour guide had done an illegal deal with the train station guy, stating we would also give cash to him too! I was very upset, I'm 65yrs old, this was too much for me! There were failings by the tour guide every single day. Too many to list, but there is one thing, I will NEVER travel with Mango Travel again, and I would seriously advise other people to take my advice

    We booked our Sri Lanka adventure with Mango Vacations. Nadeeka helped us plan and advised us on what was available to do. The hotels he booked were very good as was the included meals at selected hotels. We all enjoyed the optional tours we did. Our guide Lakee was very considerate and very polite. He looked after us very well and went above and beyond on several occasions. Our driver Lochana was a very skilled careful driver. We always felt safe. He was also our guide for the last week of our tour. He did a really good job. We would highly recommend using Mango Vacations when considering an adventure in Sri Lanka. Mango Vacations and team made our tour very memorable.

    We experienced everything as described or as it was planned according to the itinerary! All in all, everything went very well. The hotels were also very nice. I would particularly like to highlight our driver "Lochana" who took us safely through the traffic jungle the whole time and with whom we also had a lot of fun!!!

    This was a great tour to get a overview of what Sri Lanka has to offer. There was a lot of variety from day to day that varied from ancient ruins, nature hikes, safaris, to cultural events and experiences. We were given options based on our interests which made it nice as everyone could choose activities based on preference. I enjoyed that we had a small group which made it feel like family. Our guide Vishwa was great as he made me feel as we were traveling with a local friend instead of being on a tour. Sri Lanka is a beautiful country and has so much to offer. When l return l will book with Mango Vacations and request Vish.

    What an amazing Sri Lankan experience. This tour had the lot! Hiking up mountains, incredible temples, jungles and safaris, awesome train rides, excellent tea plantations, extraordinary terrain and interesting monuments! Thili our guide was very knowledgeable and was excellent in his descriptions and history. Waseem our young driver was exceptional mastering the crazy roads and traffic. One of my best holiday experiences 🥰

    We have just finished a 2 week tour around the island of Sri Lanka with Thili (our guide) and Waseem (our driver), and I cannot speak highly enough about them. We had a great time and we were taken to some of the most amazing places. Nothing was too much trouble for Thili and Waseem during the tour, making sure that everything exceeded our expectations. Our thanks goes out to Mango Vacations and TourRadar for giving us the opportunity to see the best of Sri Lanka.
