Reviews from travellers on this tour

Andrew Samko  

The best Sri Lanka experience

30-Jan-2020

I had the most amazing 3 week trip ever to Sri Lanka. The island really does have so much to offer - nature, amazing beaches and countryside, beautiful wildlife, the most incredibly interesting historical and religious sites, wonderful food, good choice of accommodation to suit all budgets... I could go on and on! Undoubtedly the best way to see the country is to hire a guide and/or driver - it's the fastest way to cover a lot of ground and see all the sites but more importantly, it's how you are most likely to gain a true insight into the Sri Lankan way of life and the lovely Sinhalese people! I spent much of my time with the guide I met in Kandy. Together with a fantastic driver, we travelled around much of the country and had so many good times on the way.
