  Our experience about this tour is precious and memorable. Our driver went out of his way to show us Sri Lanka without stress and rush. The places we saw were all beautiful and different. Every town and city had a different atmosphere and different monuments to admire. Accommodation in most of the hotels was really convenient and in a good location. All the hotels served really good breakfast and were surrounded by gardens or facing some landscape. Our time in Maldives was fantastic too. Very pleasant hotel and accommodating hotel staff. Our room overlooked crystal sea.

  We enjoyed fantastic day journey through Sri Lanka and Maldives with our driver Kapila. From pick up to drop off, he was helpful, kind and a great driver! He was also very patient and strategic when driving through! Traffic that became crazy at times! Would highly recommend Kapila as a driver and using Paylesstoursindia as Mrs. Ewa was very helpful in the lead up to our trip. Maldives relaxing part was also very well arranged, all the extra activities included in the package were very exciting and hit the spot. The hotel selected by the operator was up to the mark and just by the sandy beach. We highly recommend this tour and this TR partner.

Ryan H 8 contributions 0 A+ Car Service Mar 2025 • Couples I was initially unsure of booking a private car service not through our hotel resort but this was amazing. We had multiple pickup and drop offs all over Sri Lanka including 4AM pickup at CMB. Every driver we had was on time / early, clean vehicle with working AC, very professional. Excellent communication and service. Written 13 April 2025 This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Sam G 1 contribution 0 Athula - Amazing Driver Experience Apr 2025 • Couples Athula has been our driver for the last 2 weeks and it's been a magical holiday packed with life long memories. From the moment we met Athula he was professional, kind, and welcoming. He was always very punctual and the car was always so clean and comfortable, as well as receiving fresh bottles of water every day which was a great touch. Athula intergrated us into Sri Lankan culture by organizing a village tour, safari and swimming with turtles. The excursions Athula booked for us were amazing experiences and also cheaper than ones we booked ourselves. We amended our plans a couple of times during the holiday by changing hotels etc and Athula was very flexible and helpful in these situations. We cannot recommend Athula and SL driver enough and we hope to use them again in the future!

Mar 2025 • Couples I cannot recommend Sandeep highly enough! From the moment we met him, it was clear that he is not only a true professional but also a kind and thoughtful individual. Sandeep ensured that we were always promptly transported to each location, and we always felt safe and comfortable in his presence. It was evident that he genuinely cared about making our time in Sri Lanka unforgettable. Sandeep went above and beyond to ensure we had the best possible experience. He never once complained about early mornings for sunrise walks or late nights for evening dinners. He also took the time to stop along the way to introduce us to some local must-dos, like getting us king coconuts and buffalo curd, which really added a special touch to our trip. Additionally, Sandeep was incredibly helpful in arranging safaris and even managed to secure train tickets for us when we were unable to do so ourselves. Sandeep truly made our time in Sri Lanka remarkable, and we are so grateful for everything he did to make our experience unforgettable. If you're looking for someone who will go above and beyond to ensure you have a fantastic trip, Sandeep is the one you want!

He took us to places on our journeys that we were unaware of and added greatly to the joy of our trip. The car was comfortable and always clean. He was prompt and knowledgeable, with a warm personality, going out of his way to be helpful. We were sorry to say goodbye to him at the airport!

We had an itinerary, but Sandeepa was only too happy to accommodate our last minute changes! The car was clean and his driving was safe and considerate.

Mar 2025 • Couples My husband and I have just returned from an amazing 13-day journey through Sri Lanka with Sarath as our driver. From the cultural wonders of the central region to the scenic tea country, the wildlife of Yala, and the stunning southern coast, he ensured a smooth and enjoyable experience. Always punctual, reliable, and knowledgeable, Sarath made our trip even more special by pointing out hidden gems, wildlife, and local insights along the way. His warm personality, flexibility,sense of humor made every drive a pleasure. We look forward to returning to explore the northeast with him. Thank you, Sarath, for an unforgettable trip!

  So glad we went on the tour to Sri Lanka and Maldives with Paylesstoursindia. Everything went smoothly and without any troubles. Accommodation in most of the places was really good, the hotels were in natural places. The hotel in Maafushi was fantastic with s great food choice and exiting excursions.Our driver in SL was very friendly and accommodating. We loved our holiday in both countries.

  That was a marvelous tour arranged by Paylesstoursindia tour operator that turned up to be a great choice. Travelling in Sri Lanka with our driver was unforgettable and amazing experience. Our stay in Maldives was very relaxing and a bit active thanks to excursions included in the package. We had a great time that will stay in our memory.

  We've recently come back from our holidays made by Paylesstoursindia. After around 14 days of sightseeing and relaxing we can rate this tour as a very good one. The selection of accommodation was very good in both countries. The driver Mr. Pradeep was very kind and friendly. He showed us additional places that were not in our itinerary and advised on places to eat and buy souvenirs. Sri Lanka impressed us by their landscape, lush greenery and friendly people. Maldives was very relaxing and a bit adventures thanks to lovely excursions. The hotel was also lovely with tasty buffet dishes we liked very much. The hotel staff did their best to make our stay very pleasant. We recommend this tour and we' d definitely trust this tour operator again. Many thanks

  Our family with 2 children couldn't have a better time in SL and Maldives! Everything was in line with our chat conversations and all the hotels were the same as sent one month before we went on this tour. We loved Sigiriya and a resort with a swimming pool ( Sigiriya Forest resort) there as well as Yala accommodation - a little bit in the wild. Children had lots of fun on this tour since they observed elephants in the wild as well as comodo dragons and other animal species. We also loved Sigiriya Rock climbing, which wasn't so physically demanding even for a family with 2 kids. Maldives was more relaxing but also active and adventures thanks to one day excursions and snorkeling. Accommodation was provided in 4-star hotel overlooking the sea by a sandy beach. There were quite a lot of shops around to do some shopping and take a stroll. The island is small, so buying a few trips to other islands is recommended. We're glad that they were included in our package. Our overall rating is very good and we definitely recommend this tour to everyone who likes both sightseeing and relaxing a bit, the Tour operator is trustworthy too and communication with Mrs. Eve was really smooth and nice.

  We loved our tour from and through Sri Lanka to Maldives all the arrangements were made as planned and discussed before our journey there. We'd asked for 4-star hotel upgrading and a bit extension of the tour as well as 2 night in a water villa that was added on our special request. That was actually a cherry on the cake. All the places in the itinerary were shown by our driver without rush and we got plenty of time for self exploration of a few spots of our interests. We were invited to our driver's home for beer and snacks which was really lovely. Maldives was very pleasant and relaxing with a few exhilarating excursions. Our stay in a water villa was extremely deluxe and heavenly. We highly recommend this adventure.

  We have been a loyal customer of tourradar for our multiple vacations around the world. The tourradar Sri Lanka Maldives vacation was a huge disappointment. The Best of Sri Lanka with Adventurous and deluxe Maldives with Payless Tours of India was not the standard of Tourradar. The entire trip we didn't have any guide to explain where we were going and the importance of the place. In our previous Tourradar trips the guide explained in depth about the history and cultural aspects of the site. The driver drove and dropped us at the entrance of points of interest and showed us were to get tickets. As we arrived in Colombo we were showed the points of interest from the car straight from the airport without checking in the hotel. We were not able to get down and explore the site. In your highlights it says “explore Colombo's vibrant Pettah bazaar” but we we didn't get a chance to do that. We were shown the clock tower from the car and didn't receive the opportunity to walk by the Galle Face Green Promenade. We were stopped only at one temple. The breakfast at the hotel/homes were bare minimum. Plated not buffet. Not the standard of Tourradar. In your description it says “join a group and forget life-long friendship” but there was no group. The hotel at Nuwara Eliya Pigeon Nest was a bed and breakfast home shared by other 4 rooms. The room was very small, no table to keep our belongings, no TV, no heater in the cold night, the hot water in the shower would alternate with cold freezing water. It was very difficult to take shower. We couldn't sleep as the bed was very uncomfortable, we both woke up with back pain. Not the standard of Tourradar hotels. The hotel in Galle Megabe villa didn't have the basics of bottled water and hot water kettle. We had to buy bottled water from them. Also the internet was not working. No TV in the room.

  We had wonderful time with Paylesstoursindia.Thanks to them we were able to see very many places in Sri Lanka. The driver Ketty was not only an excellent driver but also a very good guide to all the places and things we wanted to look at. He was very flexible and good at listening to what we wanted to explore on our trip. We had many interesting discussions in the car and we are very pleased that we chose this company for our trip. We can highly recommend them, they did our trip to Sri Lanka a lot better than we hoped for. We will definitely use them the next time too. Resting part in Maldives was very refreshing and educational. Taking part in underwater excursions was definitely worth travelling to Maafushi. The hotel was lovely and surroundings very safe and nice. We loved our holidays.
