- A· February 21st, 2025We have just gotten back from our trip to Sri Lanka called "The Essence of Sri Lanka". We highly recommend it. Great planning – everything went smoothly according to the schedule. The driver was very kind, he took into consideration the needs of all pasengers. His English was communicative. This was not our first trip with this agency and surely not the last.Show morePayless tours india commented on this reviewThank you for your wonderful review!

- DQDamian· February 12th, 2025So ive given the review an Ok as there were issues with the tour. We paid 11 months in advance and their were no issues financially. Our issues were the lack of communication before and during the tour. A couple of months out we wanted to know in what accomodation we were staying. We were given 20 whats apps of hotels and locations. Two weeks out these were changed completely with a new list. On tour these changed every single day so we did not know where we were stopping. Some were a few km out of the city like Kandy for example which meant our evenings were stuck in the accomodation. Our driver Sampath and guide was superb. We cannot recommend him and thank him enough. With hindsight there were too many temples (our fault) and the guides were excessive and way too demanding with their tips. Would i use Payless tours again? Probably not.Show morePayless tours india commented on this reviewThank you so much for taking the time to leave us review.

- Bella· June 15th, 2024An incredible and beautiful tour of Sri Lanka that gave us a deep insight in Sri Lankan culture, cuisine. We saw both seaside part if the island and mountains combined with trekking to the end of the world. We love nature, architecture of the temples and tea plantations.

- Josef· February 19th, 2024Sri Lanka is beautiful and so green, the beaches are clean and picturesque. It is hard to believe that such a small island has so much to offer. Thanks to Paylesstoursindia we had a perfect opportunity to see all the most beautiful places , had some leisure time to relax and do some additional activities. Our personal drive showed us extra places and was always at our service. We couldn’t have wished for a better experience; Pradeep was kind, professional, and full of knowledge. From the airport pickup, to final goodbyes, Pradeep acted as not only our driver but as a knowledgeable host for first time visitors in Sri Lanka like ourselves. He drove safely and calmly so that we could enjoy the views without any worries at all. :) If you have any doubt as to whom to book for your Sri Lanka vacation, look no further! We felt truly fortunate for our amazing experience.Show morePayless tours india commented on this reviewOnce again, thank you for choosing us and for the incredible 5-star rating.

- Oliver· February 10th, 2024We would like to thank you for making our holiday a fantastic experience in Sri Lanka. Our driver Sarath was very professional and spoke very good English. All the hotels were well selected with great ambience and greenery around that made us feel really exotic in some places. The train to Ella was first class! we had seats in the front row with a beautiful panoramic view. We ate our meals in wonderful restaurants or resort with large buffet selection and we didn't pay much. We had an opportunity to be national parks, see UNESCO treasures, tea plantation and packing/sorting factory, went mountain climbing, had an ocean picnic, went boating. Everything was organized by Paylesstoursindia perfectly. Many thanks. We're certainly going to India with you in the nearest future.
