    · September 23rd, 2025
    We are so glad we picked this Grand Tour. Highlights include the sunrise at Sigiriya, the scenic train ride to Ella, the wildlife in Yala, and relaxing by the ocean in Mirissa and Galle. Every part was well thought through. Our guide Mahesh made everything easy, was always responsive, and handled unexpected hiccups with patience. Great mix of adventure and relaxation.

    We had the best holiday ever with Sri Lanka Vacation Tours. Their flexibility stood out. when weather impacted our plan, they quickly reshuffled so we didn’t lose anything. Every day felt like a new discovery. Our guide’s passion for nature was contagious, and the local interactions (villages, markets, temples) made the trip deeply personal. Thank you Mahesh, Rohan & the whole team for making this so special.

    This 12‑day tour is superb value for what you get. From wildlife safaris to ancient ruins, from waterfalls to beach lounges. it’s all there. The transportation was comfortable, guides were professional and caring, the hotels lovely. The teamwork behind the scenes shows: everything felt well thought‑out. Sunsets in Ella and Galle Fort will stay with me forever. A must for anyone wanting a rich Sri Lankan experience.

    Simply brilliant. Sri Lanka Vacation Tours knows how to design a trip that isn’t too rushed but still covers all must-see places. I was particularly impressed by how knowledgeable our guide Sameera was she explained cultural details, pointed out hidden gems, and had great suggestions when we had downtime. Highlights: Sigiriya at sunrise, the tea factory in Nuwara Eliya, and relaxed beach time in Hikkaduwa. Love this trip.

    A terrific tour from start to finish. The organisation was seamless. airport pickup, hotels, meals, internal transfers, everything ran on time. Food was delicious, especially the local specialties in small towns (my favorites!). The natural beauty & wildlife surpassed my expectations. And the staff always went out of their way to ensure comfort. This tour gave us memories for life.

    What an unforgettable 12 days in Sri Lanka! Every day brought something new the train ride through tea estates, the safari in Yala, the serenity of beaches in Mirissa, the vibrant temples in Kandy. The guide Rohan made the journey easy and fun. He knew the local history, wildlife, and the best spots for photos. I felt very safe and well looked after throughout. If you want to see Sri Lanka thoroughly, this is the way to go.

    From Day 1 I knew this tour was special. The itinerary struck an excellent balance between culture, wildlife, scenery and relaxation. Our guide, Sam, was attentive, knowledgeable, and always ready to adjust the plan based on our interests. Hotels were comfortable, transport was reliable, and the scenery from Ella to Horton Plains was breathtaking. Highly recommend Sri Lanka Vacation Tours they deliver beyond expectations.

    The tour was great. Rohan was an awesome guide who tailored the tour to is as we were the only ones on the tour. Created very unique experiences. There was initial confusion on what the tour paid for due to tour names being very similar names as pointed out to tour radar. Also under meals it advised all breakfast and dinner was included but under accom some hotels did not include dinner. This was discussed with Mahesh who advised they will sort out the website. I hope this was not just talk

    My wife and me went on a 12 days private tour in Srilanka. We were taken by our guide Sameera. We really enjoyed the trip for 12 days. Sri Lanka vacation tours were professional and their arrangements were excellent. Sameera was very knowledgeable polite and flexible, very helpful. Thanks for the great 12 day vacation arrangements. All the hotels were really good. I highly recommend them.
