  • Sri Lanka Family Holiday (from Negombo to Colombo) reviewer 1
    · May 25th, 2020
    Amazing trip! We travelled to Sri Lanka in August/September 2019 and had a great experience with Step Lanka and our driver and guide Tharaka. We visited some amazing places and Tharaka used his knowledge to make sure we were able to make the most of each destination. He also found us the best and most cost effective way of doing the excursions, trips and classes that we wanted to do - pigeon island snorkelling and cookery class, in particular. Thanks so much for an unforgettable trip. We hope to come back again soon! Alex and Gemma

    Having travelled with Intrepid to Borneo in 215/16, we were keen to travel with the company again. I didn't think we could possibly match the experiences we had in Borneo, but I was wrong. This has been one of the best holidays of my life!!

    My leader, Nandana, was very helpful with everything. He helped us with looking for places for nice food, and with general information. His English was amazing too. Everything we went to was interesting, and a big difference in the range of things we did. We had some historic activities, and some animal activities. I enjoyed every minute of my trip.
