    Our tour was the perfect for cultural. Our guide was fantastic, especially during the visits to the ancient sites in Sigiriya, Anuradhapura, and Dambulla. The hotels were all very comfortable, and the drivers were punctual. If you want to learn about Sri Lanka's history while enjoying beautiful landscapes, this tour is definitely worth it.

    Nuwara Eliya was a highlight for me it was offering panoramic views of tea plantations and misty mountains. Our stay in Nuwara Eliya felt like a retreat, with its cool climate and colonial charm. The visit to a tea factory was informative, and we enjoyed tasting the different varieties. The guides were knowledgeable and ensured we had a memorable experience on this Sri Lanka trip.

    Our trip was amazing through Negombo, Sigiriya, and Kandy. The hotels were comfortable, especially in Kandy, where we stayed in a charming colonial-style property. The guides were knowledgeable, sharing insights into Sri Lanka history. Visiting the Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage was a highlight seeing the elephants up close was unforgettable. Great experience.

    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.
