- Simon· September 7th, 2025Good tour, takes you to lots of interesting places in Sri Lanka. I would've like to be in a van or bus with other tourists so there were others to talk to. That happened on the first day, but the remaining four days were only me and a driver, different driver each day. On the trip to Yala national park, the driver asked me for 42,000 rupees for entry, hire of jeep, and driver. I don't know if that was the correct price. I asked for a receipt but was not given one. Still, I enjoyed the 5 days.Show moreTrip date: August 2025
- LMLauren· August 10th, 2025Overall, my tour of Sri Lanka was a wonderful. There was beautiful scenery, amazing history, and a knowledgeable driver/guide. However, a few details did not match the itinerary provided. I was expecting a 2nd class train ticket but received a 3rd class ticket on the slow train, which made the 5+ hour journey to Ella very crowded and uncomfortable. In addition, we did not stop at Hanuman Hindu Temple, which had been listed as part of the tour. While I still enjoyed much of the trip (particularly Sigirya Rock and Dambulla Cave Temple), I would suggest confirming ticket classes and all planned stops in advance to ensure traveler expectations are met.Show moreTrip date: July 2025

His calm, punctual, professional and relaxed attitude, and his beautiful sense of humour was the perfect compliment to the beauty and diversity of Sri Lanka that he guided us through.
