- JFJack· July 19th, 2025This tour is a great experience the best of Sri Lanka. Colombo, Galle, and Sigiriya were all highlights, and the safari in Yala was unforgettable. The accommodation was decent, although I expected a bit more luxury in some places. Drives were the only downside, but with so much to see, it was worth it. Definitely a trip I’ll remember for years to come.Show morePassage Holidays commented on this reviewDear Jack, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback about your Highlights of Sri Lanka.

- JNJohn· July 19th, 2025I really enjoyed this tour. It was well-paced, with sightseeing, nature, and wildlife. The highlight for me was definitely the Yala safari and the stunning landscapes in Nuwara Eliya. The train ride to Kandy was another memorable experience.

- SASue· July 19th, 2025Sri Lanka is rich in culture, and this tour did an excellent job showcasing it. From the UNESCO sites in Sigiriya to the temples in Kandy, I loved the history and traditions. The train ride to Kandy was a special experience, and the safari in Yala was a bucket-list item. The roads were long, but the experience was unforgettable. Highly recommend trip to Sri Lanka.Show morePassage Holidays commented on this reviewDear Sue, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback about your Highlights of Sri Lanka.

- FZFelix· June 24th, 2025Great trip overall, but it was a bit packed. There not much downtime, and you’re constantly on the move, which can be exhausting. The safari in Yala was absolutely worth it, and I loved the train ride to Kandy, but the long road trips between locations were draining. The hotels were decent, though not extraordinary. I would recommend this for travelers who want to see as much of Sri Lanka as possible in a short amount of time.Show morePassage Holidays commented on this reviewDear Felix, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback about your tour Highlights of Sri Lanka.

- MMManola· June 24th, 2025The views in Nuwara Eliya and Kandy were amazing. I loved the hill station vibe of Nuwara Eliya and the ancient temples in Kandy. The Sigiriya rock fortress was spectacular as well. However, I felt that some of the visits were too short, especially the cultural sites. I wish we had a little more time to explore at our own pace, but overall, it was a great way to see the country. Memorable trip to Sri Lanka.Show morePassage Holidays commented on this reviewDear Manola, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback about your Highlights of Sri Lanka Tour.

- MTMaria· June 24th, 2025I really enjoyed the cultural aspects of Sri Lanka trip. The ancient sites of Sigiriya and Polonnaruwa were just incredible, and the visit to Anuradhapura was like stepping back in time. The Yala National Park safari was thrilling, and I even got to see a leopard! The long drives were a bit tiring, but the accommodations were good, and I felt like I got to experience so much of Sri Lanka’s diverse offerings.Show morePassage Holidays commented on this reviewDear Maria, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback about your Highlights of Sri Lanka Tour.

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.
