Can you let me know which hotels you use please.

Day 1 Colombo: Standard Hotel Category = Grand Oriental Hotel or similar 3*. Day 2 Yala / Tissamaharama / Hambantota: Standard Hotel Category = Elephant Reach Hotel, Hotel Chandrika or similar 4*

I will be arriving Colombo on 21st Jan 02:55. I'm interested on your tour but will need to be in Kandy by 23rd Jan evening. Would that be possible?

If you need to be Kandy on the 23rd this tour is not recommended. By the time you reach Colombo on the 23rd it'll be last evening as this itinerary has lot of sites to cover.

We have just come back after spending two weeks in this incredible country. We spent 7 days touring and then 7 days relaxing at a sea resort. The tour was amazing. Siri , our driver, was brilliant. He was so courteous and polite and we felt in very safe hands. He knew all the best places to stop so we could see sensational views of this beautiful country. Thankyou Siri!! The tour took us to many temples, a tea plantation, a herbal tour( not a spice tour like we thought), a cultural dance show, a wood carving factory,2 safaris and an elephant sanctuary! Very full on week but so very worth it!! A once in a lifetime holiday!!! Loved it!!!Show more
