Amazing overall experience - the booking process, the fantastic tour itself, tailored to our needs, and the constant monitoring of our progress by Odynovo during the tour, was exceptional. From the moment we contacted Odynovo, until the time we left Sri Lanka, they were very responsive and took care of every detail. The chauffeur/guide they appointed was a wonderful, caring person - an awesome companion. We regard this tour of Sri Lanka as a must-do experience, and by using Odynovo we believe will ensure that you have an unforgettable experience - we have now completed 4 tours using Odynovo, each one ended up being a very rewarding experience.
