    We had an amazing tour of Sri Lanka with our driver Siri. The country is stunningly beautiful the coast, the mountains, especially the Ella Gap, the animals, the history and the friendly, welcoming people. It all combined to make for a memorable stay on a stunning island.

    My husband and I took a private 7 days tour of Sri Lanka with Sri Holidays. It was a wonderful journey! First of all, we should praise Namal, our driver and guide. If you ever decide to do the tour ask for him, he is amazing, professional, knowledgable as a guide, polite, caring and a great driver! The tour was well designed and showed the main attractions of the country with a good balance of cultural and nature aspects. Hotels were well chosen to have some style and give nice views, although the access to some was somewhat difficult. We have seen a lot, learned a lot and would recommend the tour to anybody even older people (we are in late sixties). Thank you Saman, the boss and again thanks Namal!

    · December 28th, 2023
    Our experience with SriHolidays was great! We were 2 friends and we did a private 6 days tour. From the beginning Saman was very helpful via chat in answering our question and organising and adjusting the tour according to our needs. Once arrived in Sri Lanka everything went very smooth with no flaws, everyone was extra kind and did our best to make us fall in love with this amazing country. Thanks also to our knowledgeable and friendly guide Anil we had a lot of fun. The only suggestion I could give is to consider the traffic and travelling hours when selecting the stops, so the day will not be spent totally in the car. For example Colombo - Anuradhapura was too long and no time to see the ruins when we reached there in the end. Thank you again Greeting from Maldives Candice & Samuela

    We had an amazing time on this tour, discovering all the great things Sri Lanka had to offer. Our guide Namal was absolutely fantastic providing great insight at each attraction and also always available for a conversation as we drove between sites. We had agreed to stay in 3* hotels and on the whole they were good, all offering a mix of local and European cuisine. All in all, we'd recommend this to anyone!
