Luxury Sri Lanka Tours & Trips Reviews
- Sri Lanka 5 Days Itinerary
Excellent trip! From start to finish, everything was excellent. Malidu from Holiday Lanka Sri Lanka was really helpful and such a friendly person. He explained all the details of this trip to me once my reservation was confirmed. My tour driver Dinuka, was a very professional and friendly person. I enjoyed being with him. Highly recommend this tour if anyone is looking for a private tour in Sri Lanka for 5 days.
- Premium Sri Lanka in Depth
Just returned from The Jewels of Sri Lanka tour and we had a great time. Anando was so enthusiastic about his county's culture, history and people. The 1 st couple of days were full on but we learned a great deal about Sri Lanka. The tour was varied with Temples, Tea plantations, wild life ( saw lots of elephants, crockodiles, buffalo, mongoose), eating in various restaurant and private houses. The food was wonderful and the hotels were lovely. We went whale watching from Marissa beach near Galle and saw blue whales and lots of dolphins. Our driver and baggage handler were very good and nothing was too much trouble. This was the first time we holidayed with Peregrine and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. We would not hesitate to use Peregrine in future. .
