- AAnonymous· June 8th, 2025Our vacation in Sri Lanka and Maldives was very pleasant and exciting. We had a remarkable driver/guide Mr. Pradeep who made us feel special and really comfortable. Accommodation in the hotels was very good, most of the hotels were in the location with a nice view or surroundings. Our stay in Maldives was also very pleasant and a bit active. We loved one day excursions and hotel hospitality. Manny thanks for organizing such a wonderful tour.Show moreTrip date: January 2025

Payless tours india commented on this reviewMany thanks for this amazing feedback. We are really happy you chosen us and travelled with us. We hope to make another exciting tour for you soon. Best wishes, Paylesstoursindia teamTrip date: April 2025 - Lorina· April 29th, 2025Our 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.Show morePayless tours india commented on this reviewThank you for rewarding words. It is extremely motivating for our Paylesstoursindia team and important.

- Pamela· April 29th, 2025We 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.

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.

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!

- Marianna· February 15th, 2025We'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.

- Allen· February 12th, 2025Our 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.Show morePayless tours india commented on this reviewThank you for your wonderful review!

- Zona· February 6th, 2025We 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.Show morePayless tours india commented on this reviewYour glowing review has put a smile on our faces!

Asked on May 1st, 2025I would like to know which hotels. I work in Hotel industry & I am a bit fussy with where I stay.
Payless tours indiaOperator•Written May 2025Hotel name will be visible after your final confirmation, however we usually provide a hotel in Maafushi like Kani or one of Triton group. Hotels are always by the beach, seaview and spacious. If you would like to stay in a beach resort or a water villa, we can upgrade the accommodation but it will cost much more.

Jade
Asked on April 7th, 2025What is the star rating on the accommodation? Are the trips customisable based on group of 8 adults? We want to stay on a resort in Maldives preferably on a overwater bungalow for around 3 days, not stay on a boat. Is this possible? There are a few things we want to do in Sri Lanka like take the train ride and visit Sigiriya.
- Payless tours indiaOperator•Written April 2025
We can customise the tour for you accordingly. Please let us know how many days to add in Sri Lanka? Sigiriya is already included, however we can add one day in Ella and a train ride. Would you like additional nights in Maldives in overwater villa? or just 3 nights in water villa?

When would you like to visit Sri Lanka and Maldives? We can upgrade accommodation to 5 star hotels, however it will be very expensive. We will also have to add a single supplement. Maybe we will include 4 star accommodation in SL only? In Maldives there is already 4 star hotel included.
