The communication with tour radar was excellent. The driver and guide were excellent. They were very punctual and informative. They were able to modify things as needed. My feedback is that when I was planning the trip at the beginning stages there were a few activities that I would’ve liked to have had to a radar book for example, bike riding with a reputable tour company and night walk night Safari that is offered by many companies like GetYourGuide Viator. It would’ve been good if to a radar would’ve booked a couple of those for us overall I’d highly recommend tour radar and Acme Tours thank you Shan and Jaya and Gamo for making our trip extremely special.Show more

It was a great tour, taking in all main cultural sites plus and lots of national parks which is what we were looking for. Private guide and chauffeur very good, friendly, and well organised.Sri Lanka really is rich and diverse country. If there is any criticism it’s that there were occasionally too many destinations in the schedule and some of the lovely accommodation was a bit hard to find/too far out of town meaning one arrived after dark with no time to enjoy it. However, once we realised this we cut a few stops out giving us a little more recovery time. Thistour would definitely keep any nature lover very happy.Show more
