    Excellent introduction to the beautiful country made extra special by our tour guide, Mr Dinesh. He went the extra mile ensuring we had the best experiences, not only on the standard tour but also extra curriculum activities that he was able to secure for us. Perfect 100%.

    Amazing, great service from the day we booked :) We got to experience a lot more than we thought, i would recommend anyone that goes to Sri Lanka to book Beyond Escapes. Our guide Mr.Kamura was amazing!! If you decide to book this trip ask for him. He made us feel safe and took his time. Nothing was rushed and we had the time to do what we wanted. He took care of us with anything we needed, and he felt more like a friend than a guide :)! 10/10!
