- EZEmilia· September 14th, 2025This tour was definitely packed with experiences. I saw a lot in a short time beaches, temples, national parks, and more. The Yala safari was definitely the highlight, and Sigiriya is just incredible. That said, the long drives between destinations can get tiring, especially if you’re not used to spending hours in a car. Some of the hotels were not as comfortable as I’d hoped, but they were decent. Overall, I had a memorable time.Show moreTrip date: August 2025

- NBNicholas· August 1st, 2025I absolutely loved the Sri Lanka. The history in Sigiriya, Polonnaruwa, and Anuradhapura was fascinating and attractive, and the wildlife in Yala National Park was amazing. However, the schedule was a bit too packed. Overall, I’d say it’s a great tour, but a little more downtime would’ve made it perfect. But overall, its a great trip.Show morePassage Holidays commented on this reviewDear Nicholas, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback about your Highlights of Sri Lanka.

Greg
Asked on November 25th, 2024The reviews I read at the end of The Highlights of Sri Lanka Tour did not appear to be written from a personal perspective and rather short. One mentioned having a great week when the tour is a fortnight. Frequent mentions of appreciation of "the services" is not encouraging.
- Passage HolidaysOperator•Written November 2024
Kindly let us know how many days you are planning for Sri Lanka. Also it was the traveler's choice what he feel and what he write in there review.
