    Good tour, takes you to lots of interesting places in Sri Lanka. I would've like to be in a van or bus with other tourists so there were others to talk to. That happened on the first day, but the remaining four days were only me and a driver, different driver each day. On the trip to Yala national park, the driver asked me for 42,000 rupees for entry, hire of jeep, and driver. I don't know if that was the correct price. I asked for a receipt but was not given one. Still, I enjoyed the 5 days.

    We couldn't have had a nicer and more attentive guide, he told us a lot of interesting information about Sri Lanka, its religion and customs, and also in Spanish, a luxury.

    · August 10th, 2025
    Overall, my tour of Sri Lanka was a wonderful. There was beautiful scenery, amazing history, and a knowledgeable driver/guide. However, a few details did not match the itinerary provided. I was expecting a 2nd class train ticket but received a 3rd class ticket on the slow train, which made the 5+ hour journey to Ella very crowded and uncomfortable. In addition, we did not stop at Hanuman Hindu Temple, which had been listed as part of the tour. While I still enjoyed much of the trip (particularly Sigirya Rock and Dambulla Cave Temple), I would suggest confirming ticket classes and all planned stops in advance to ensure traveler expectations are met.
