    It was a fantastic 2 weeks experience. Tour was superbly organised. Buddhika was extremely professional, very knowledgeable and friendly. He was available for any requests, nothing was any problems for him. Everything went smoothly. Driver was always on time,polite & driving was perfect, kept us safe. Definitely would recommend Buddhika & Exotic Perla to anyone in future.

    Wow! What a trip and I loved every single detail and destination. We started in Negombo and travelled to Kandy, Batticoloa, Anuradhapura, Sigiriya, ending back in Negombo. We saw temples, the elephants in their natural habitat, visited co-ops, natural wonders like Sigiriya rock, the tea factory, markets, and spontaneously Spa Ceylon ;) . We tasted beautiful Sri Lankan food (and tried hoppers and corn on the side of the road) and tasted tea. Oh and we shopped!! Lots! (Sorry Buddhika haha) We saw the ocean/beach and we saw inland Sri Lanka and not just the highlights, but the culture, the traditions and the communities. The real Sri Lanka. All of it was perfect. And real. and that's what I loved. The accommodation was perfect and catered beautifully to our large group. Questions we had were answered, requests were never denied, patience was an attribute of Buddhika and Uditha to deal with a large rowdy group. ;) Even the bus driver and assistant were beautiful and always greeting us and making sure we were safe getting in and out of the bus and the bus was kept beautifully clean each day, ready for another day or touring. Lots of laughs and conversations with both Buddhika and Uditha which made the tour so much fun. For two full weeks, they put up with our constant banter, questions and requests and nothing was ever 'too hard'. They catered to our every need. The best tour I have done and I can highly recommend. I will be back to show my kids this beautiful country with Exotic Perla. Thank you so much for such a memorable, fantastic and educational trip. See you again soon. ;)

    The round trip through Sri Lanka was a wonderful experience! The country offers an impressive mix of culture, nature, wildlife, and relaxation. The people are warm and welcoming, the food is delicious, and the entire trip was very well organized. A special thanks goes to my tour guide Kumara, who accompanied me with great dedication and deep knowledge. He also drove the car very safely and pleasantly. All in all a wonderful holiday and highly recommended!

    We had a wonderful 2 weeks in Sri Lanka. The country is beautiful and the people very friendly. The tour was a great balance of national parks and local culture. Our guide Buddika was very knowledgeable and couldn't do enough to help us. Once he understand my physical restrictions due to a bad foot he made modifications to our tour to try and make things easier for me and so i didn't miss out on too much. I can't recommend highly enough

    We thoroughly enjoyed our tour of Sri Lanka. We saw both cultural and historical sites as well as visits to national parks where we saw elephants, leopards and even a sloth bear! The country is beautiful and people are very friendly, always ready with a smile. Our guide Buddika was very knowledgeable, had a great sense of humour and is a genuinely lovely person. Once he realised my partner had issues with his feet Buddika made some modifications to our site visits to ensure Pat could experience as much as possible while minimising any discomfort, including organising an electric cart for our tour of the botanic Gardens so he didn't have to walk too far. We can't wait to return to Sri Lanka and see more of this beautiful country!

    We had an amazing time on this tour, with so many different activities and adventures packed into the itinerary. Each day brought something new and exciting, keeping the experience fresh and memorable. Our tour guide - Buddhika was fantastic—knowledgeable, engaging, and always ready with interesting facts and insights that really added depth to the places we visited. It felt like we were getting a true, authentic experience. The hotels were lovely as well, each offering a unique atmosphere that complemented the different stops on our journey. Overall, an unforgettable trip that was thoughtfully planned and beautifully executed! Thanks Buddhika!

    I spent 12 days in the most amazing and magical trip I’ve ever had in my life. Sri Lanka is an unspoiled beautiful country where you can get so much value out of your visit. Our tour guide was amazing, very accommodating always making sure that everybody was happy and having a good time. This is my first time in Asia and it won’t be the last time, amazing natural beauty, every hotel we stayed, views from the rooms were breathtaking, food was amazing (there will be time to diet on the way back home).
