    We really enjoyed the balance of cultural experiences and natural beauty on this trip. Sigiriya and Anuradhapura were breathtaking, and the guides made sure we understood the history behind each place. The hotels were comfortable, and we loved the local food options. Our driver was great he ensured we had breaks during the long drives and kept the journey enjoyable. The service throughout the tour was top-notch.

    This trip had everything we were looking for history and nature. Our visits to Sigiriya, Kandy, and the wildlife at Minneriya National Park were incredible. We learned so much from the knowledgeable guides. Our hotels were mostly comfortable, though a couple could have used some updates. Mr. Ratnakar our driver was professional and always on time. Good time in Sri Lanka.

    We had a wonderful time exploring Sri Lanka. History was fascinating, and the cultural sites like Sigiriya and Anuradhapura were the real highlights for us. Hotels were clean and comfortable, and the food at each stop was tasty. Local guides was so friendly and gave us great insights into the local culture and history. The driver made the drives feel much shorter with his calm and safe driving. Highly Recommend.

    Visiting the temples it was a spiritual experience, offering insight into Sri Lanka's Buddhist traditions. The cultural dance performance added to the ambiance, showcasing traditional music and dance. The guides were respectful and provided context to the rituals and ceremonies. The accommodations were comfortable. Worth it trip for Sri Lanka.

      I am 78 and can book this trip which you now say is suitable for people under 80. So I really should explain to you why my sister, age 82, should be allowed to join this tour. My sister is even stronger and more capable of traveling than I.
