Who will pick up the travelers from the airport arrival terminal?

Warmly welcome by our Airport representative on arrival terminal in the airport & He will be introducing your dedicated chauffeur/Guide for the whole tour and they will be hanging a board written with your name for recognition.

If my flight gets delayed, how do I catch my taxi?

We will take appropriate measures so that you are not inconvenienced in case by sending a Whatsapp message to 0094779144664 urgently.

If my travel dates are exceeded, is my airport transfer still free?

The airport transfer is your final destination at the time of schedule and if you choose a different date for which you will not arrive the same date at the airport due to any event, an additional fee will be charged.

If my travel dates are exceeded, how much is the cost per day for my accommodation?

Charges for additional accommodation will depend on the hotel categories you wish to stay in. We will work to provide the relevant facilities upon your request.

How do I change my itinerary during my journey?

You cannot change the itinerary that you have already agreed upon. But, you can change your pre chosen sightseeings in the itinerary according to your preferences. Furthermore, if you wish to stay at the hotel premises reserved for you in destination B instead of staying at the hotel premises reserved for you in destination "A", the hotel charges at destination "A " will not be refunded to you.

What are the best network connections in Sri Lanka covering all locations ?

To name a few of the network providers in Sri Lanka, Dialog, Mobitel, Airtel and Hutch are well known. Sri Lanka's most popular and largest network providing partner is dialog. But what is more appropriate for a traveller, as of the best coverage is Hutch. On arrival, travellers can buy sim cards from the counters in the airport according to their preference.

How much does food cost and is it too spicy?

From a standard restaurant, lunch/dinner buffet or an ala carte can be bought for around 10$-12$. Rice along with Sri Lankan cuisines are available in plenty of shops much cheaper than standard restaurants but those are too spicy.

Can I pay foreign currency for archaeological sites and national parks entrances?

Major archaeological sites such as Sigiriya, Polonnaruwa, Anuradhapura accept foreign currency and all national parks only accept Sri Lankan currency. So you can avoid inconveniences by having both currencies with you.

What is the best place to change my foreign currency?

Mainly you can change from any bank at the airport arrival terminal and authorized agencies in major cities.

Can I use my credit or debit cards for local sites?

It is very difficult. Card payments cannot be made at any local sites controlled by the government agencies. For example, Elephant Orphanage/National parks, Sigiriya fortress etc. Card payments can only be made at certain stations for tourism activities promoted by private agencies. The best way is keeping cash on hand.

I had a great experience with Show Lanka Tours! I spent 20 days in Sri Lanka very recently and my tour was arranged by Show Lanka Tours. i wanted to have this tour mixed with relaxed and exciting activities. Mr. Janaka prepared the details of the tour based on my preferences and i am really happy with what he offered. He was also very flexible! Janaka allocated Mr. Manjula as the tour guide and driver. I could not have asked for a better driver and guide than Manjula! He is knowledgeable, reliable, very caring and has a good sense of humor! As i wanted to try Sri Lankan traditional food, he brings me to all those places where i could taste the traditional food including super tasty street food! I really had an enjoyable time with Mr. Manjula while discovering the beauty of Sri Lanka! I highly recommend Show Lanka Tours and, of course, Mr. Manjula for anyone who wishes to have a memorable experience in Sri Lanka.Show more
