The trip was seamless from start to finish. Airport pickup and hotel transfers were efficient, with friendly staff helping every step of the way. The hotels were comfortable and well-located. Our local guide provided fascinating insights into historical sites like Sigiriya and Kandy’s Sacred Tooth Temple. We appreciated the balance of guided tours and free time, allowing us to explore on our own. The safari in Yala was a standout experience, with an excellent driver ensuring we saw wildlife up close. Overall, this tour provided excellent services, making it an unforgettable experience.

Good tour, we enjoy nature, culture, and history, with something for everyday. The highlight was definitely the Yala safari such an amazing experience. Sigiriya history and the ancient ruins at Polonnaruwa were also fascinating. However, the long travel times between destinations felt a bit excessive, and I would’ve liked to have spent more time at some of the stops, especially in places like Nuwara Eliya and Kandy.
