Customer Reviews

    · April 2nd, 2025
    It was a great tour, taking in all main cultural sites plus and lots of national parks which is what we were looking for. Private guide and chauffeur very good, friendly, and well organised.Sri Lanka really is rich and diverse country. If there is any criticism it’s that there were occasionally too many destinations in the schedule and some of the lovely accommodation was a bit hard to find/too far out of town meaning one arrived after dark with no time to enjoy it. However, once we realised this we cut a few stops out giving us a little more recovery time. Thistour would definitely keep any nature lover very happy.

    Very good guide. Very helpful. Found the days long and although the hotels were of good quality often took a long drive to get there.

    The tour was excellent. Our guide was very knowledgeable and accomodating. Acme Travel was so easy to work with. Even with all the problems the country is facing we had a very good trip! We hope things will return to normal very soon for Sri Lanka.
