    This tour covered so much ruins of Sigiriya to the temples in Kandy. The guides did a great job explaining the significance of each site, and we learned a lot. The hotels were generally good. The only downside was the weather in some places, but it didn’t take away from the overall experience.

    We had an excellent time on this tour! The guides were extremely knowledgeable, especially about the ancient ruins and religious sites. Sigiriya was a real highlight, and the trip to Minneriya National Park was amazing we saw so many elephants! The hotels were good, and the meals were tasty. The driver was skilled and friendly, which made the long drives much more relaxing.

    Overall, this was an unforgettable trip. The tour was well-organized, and the historical sites like Sigiriya and Anuradhapura were spectacular. The hotels were comfortable, and the food was mostly good. My only complaint would be the long drives between some locations, but our driver was always patient and careful. The guides made the days enjoyable by providing interesting facts.

    Our arrival in Colombo and transfer to Negombo was smooth. The hotel was comfortable, and the location near the beach was perfect. Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable, making the trip even more enjoyable. Learning about the history of Sri Lanka from the guides, especially during the visits to Pinnawala and Sigiriya, was an enriching experience. Highly recommend this trip.

    I’ve traveled quite a bit, but this Sri Lanka tour was one of the best-organized trips I’ve experienced. The guide was excellent and professional, knowledgeable, and always ready to share a fun fact or two. Mesmerizing Sigiriya Rock Fortress to the peaceful beauty of Nuwara Eliya, every day brought something special. The accommodation was always excellent. I loved learning about Sri Lankan culture and seeing the local sights. A fantastic trip with great services all around the trip.

    The services throughout this tour were exceptional. Our guide ensured that we understood the history behind each site we visited. The highlight of my trip was the time spent at the elephant orphanage, which was a unique experience. The hotels were always accommodating. I loved the cultural of Sri Lanka. I felt completely taken care of from start to finish. This tour has provided me with memories forever.
