    We were lucky enough to travel in Sri Lanka with Hasanka as our driver and guide, and it has been a wonderful experience. He is always on time, kind, and helpful, he made us feel safe at all times, driving carefully even on the most challenging stretches. He knows the roads, attractions, and less touristy spots perfectly, allowing us to discover authentic corners of the country. He recommended excellent local restaurants, explained interesting facts about Sri Lankan culture and history, and always made sure we were comfortable and satisfied. Thanks to his professionalism and friendliness, our trip was even more special than expected. 100% highly recommended!

    Mango Vacations were fantastic, from planning our tailor made itinerary to ensuring that we had a wonderful experience throughout our stay. Vish, our guide, was outstanding. He was so knowledgeable and enthusiastic, and fully engaged our three children throughout. It was fascinating to hear so much about the history and culture of Sri Lanka and it really brought everything we were seeing to life. The travelling between destinations was seamless and Vish was flexible throughout, even working with us to charge last part of our trip at our request. Nothing was too much trouble for him. We all truly enjoyed his company, he is very easy to spend time with as a family and the children especially enjoyed playing cricket with him at any opportunity! I would recommend Mango Vacations and especially Vish, we will be back for sure!

    We have just returned from our 2 week All Island Classic Tour in Sri Lanka with Mango Vacations, We had just the best time. Communicating with Mango Vacations was always really easy with very rapid responses to my many questions beforehand. Everything was really smooth running and we felt like VIPs for two weeks. Sri Lanka itself was incredible - so much to see and a country of exceptional beauty and the people were so amazingly friendly. A very special thanks must go to our amazing tour guide/driver Hassanka. He was always so helpful and knowledgeable and could not do enough for us - he really looked after the three of us always getting us to the front of any queue with pre-reserved access and brilliant seats for the cultural dance show and the whale watching tour. We would absolutely recommend Mango Vacations and would happily use them again - and anyone who has Hassanka as their guide is in very safe hands. Ros, Charlie and Jojo Thelu, London UK

    We’ve just returned from an incredible 14-day journey through Sri Lanka, and it truly exceeded all expectations. I travelled with my 19-year-old son, Lluc, and we enjoyed every single moment of this amazing country — from breathtaking hikes and peaceful temples to lush tea plantations, scenic train rides, and unforgettable swims with turtles and even sharks! A huge part of what made this trip so special was our wonderful guide, Vishwa. His kindness, calm presence, and safe driving gave us total peace of mind. He not only shared his deep knowledge and love for his country but made us feel genuinely welcomed everywhere we went. And I’ll never forget my birthday surprise — a cake with candles, brought out in the middle of the jungle! It was thoughtful, magical, and totally unexpected. Sri Lanka has been a true discovery for us — beautiful landscapes, incredibly warm and generous people, and absolutely delicious food. We’re heading home with full hearts and lifelong memories. Thank you, Vishwa, for everything — we couldn't have asked for a better guide.

    We are extremely happy to provide this review on the 14-day tour of some key attractions of Sri Lanka, a tour managed and organised by Mango Vacations. My wife and I booked this only a few days before the scheduled departure date and from the very first enquiry Nadeeka of Mango Vacations has been most helpful in making everything very clear about the tour. He was very courteous and professional in every regard. Now comes to the tour where Thilina (our Guide) and Rohitha (our Chauffeur) took in charge of the travelling in the country. Being a small group tour made things very easy in a comfortable van which was arranged by Mango Vacations. Thilina met us at the hotel in Negombo after making vital introduction on the first day and from that day he has cared for the two of us in every possible way. He checked on our wellbeing every day throughout the tour and was extremely courteous, generous and professional! Every day (night before the departure), Thilina made very clear to us where we are heading, places of interest that will be visited, where we are staying etc and hence made the whole tour a breeze. We found his company a most pleasant experience. I wish him well for a great future as a tour guide. Rohitha was excellent and generous too. He always had a smile on his face and drove us from place to place in a very caring manner. On the whole, this 14-day tour met our expectations to the highest level. We visited some of the amazing places as stated in the tour guide: visited iconic places and historic sites, saw lots of wildlife, took some challenges in climbing mountains and enjoyed the unique food and beauty of Sri Lanka. Our tour was well paced so that there was adequate time to relax as well. We highly recommend Mango Vacations and this tour to those who would like to see Sri Lanka.

    The tour was great and quite well organised, however there were two problems/situations that come to mind. We spent two days/nights in Nuwara Eliya in very poor and cold weather when we should have spent the two days/nights in Ella in spectacular weather instead. We were given the option, and we relied on the driver to decide which was the better place. Unfortunately the decision to stay at the resort for two days/nights was the wrong one. The train from Nuwara Eliya to Ella should have been organised better. We were in a panic two days before because our driver tried to organise tickets but was told they were all sold out. Luckily he was abe to source tickets on the day, and the train ride was an excellent adventure.
