  I enjoyed an amazing trip round Sri Lanka with ASY Tours. I joined a small group of just 4 people, the hotels were all fantastic and our guide Sanjaka ensured we were happy & saw and dud everything we has planned.

  Fast paced, but we got to see a lot. What a varied, beautiful country Sri Lanka is. Sanjaka was energetic, considerate, and wonderful to all four of us. He seemed to know everything about SL, as well as everyone! The trip was educational, exciting, and full of new experiences. The wildlife included elephants, monkies, peacocks, a jaguar, a mongoose, deer, crocodiles, gorgeous birds of all hues, so many flowers. I am very glad I made this trip. Thank you Sanjaka

  This was an outstanding tour of most of the key Sri Lankan sites, including many of the UNESCO sites - Sigirya, the Central Highlands, Anurhadapura and Galle. The tour was very well paced, and our wonderful experience would not have been possible without Geeth, our driver, who was always very punctual and who kept us safe on the sometimes crazy roads. He also had some excellent suggestions about the order of doing some of the activities, which maximised our time. The accomodation was fabulous with the exception of O2 Ella. In particular, Bilin Tree, Bungalow by the Sea, Yara Galle Fort and the two EKHO hotels were superb. Another good point was that Asky kept in touch to see how the trip was going, which we appreciated. The only reason we can't give it a 5 was the lack of information about how to pay for certain excursions - what I could pay by credit card, whether I would be charged commission, where cash was required. It was somewhat confusing and I had to make several visits to ATMs which was just inconvenient. If this information was clarified up front, I would give it a 5 star rating.

  We enjoyed the tour tremendously! Our guide/driver Supun Dilshan was excellent, his ability to gauge our needs and preferences led to him giving us helpful advice on the itinerary. He was a very friendly and professional companion/guide. The accommodations were generally good and comfortable. Two hotels stood out as great: (1) Sigiriya Village: The room was great, so was the setting and the friendly and professional staff including the kitchen and food; (2) Billin Tree House in Galle: again the room and the peaceful lush setting were excellent, so was the service by the friendly staff. One accommodation fell a bit short: Hotel Onrock Ella: The room was small and totally inadequately furnished with unhelpful pieces like a half filled beanbag, leaving no comfortable seating or table except on the outside verandah which was not good to sit on as it was raining and cold. Also the bathroom was in poor repair with the shower set not firmly attached to the wall and hard to use. This was the only accommodation we did not enjoy at all. The only redemption was the kitchen and food, which was good. We enjoyed all the excursions of the itinerary, in particular the village visit in Sigiriya and the two wildlife safaris. Altogether a very enjoyable holiday.

  This tour has a good balance of culture and scenery. Accommodations were well chosen although i would prefer a few nearer the city/town center. Most breakfasts and dinners had a great variety of dishes to choose from. Overall, we enjoyed this tour.

  I really enjoyed this tour. It was paced well over the 2 weeks so that some rest was intermixed with the hiking. We got to see natural beauty, experience culture and witness wild animals in the national parks. The hotels on this tour are very nice. Sometimes they are a bit outside of the towns and in these cases diner is provided by the hotel. The highlights for me were Sigiriya , lunch with the rice farmers, Horton planes hiking, and the beaches at unawatuna. I think this tour gives you a very good survey of the country. Our driver was very punctual , professional and most importantly safe on sometimes chaotic roads. It is important on this trip to read up on the places you are visiting because the driver is not a guide. A guide is provided at Anuradhapura. Some of the excursions are additional cost outside of the trip which is a benefit as you may elect to bypass any location that does not interest you. I bypassed the stilt fishermen as they were all actors. I do recommend this trip and I am very glad that I took it. Asky checked in periodically to ensure everything was going well and it was, Thank you Asky

  The tour was exceptional. It was very competitively priced and provided excellent value for money.It combined an ideal blend of activities from culture, walking/hiking, safaris and relaxation time.It highlighted the diverse qualities of Sri Lanka covering almost everything that a visitor to the country could hope to experience in a relaxed and unrushed way.All the hotels were of a high/very high quality and exceeded expectations- lovely locations,facilities and food. Sanjaka was a perfect tour guide. He was friendly,well organised,extremely knowledgeable and could not do enough to ensure that the group had a memorable time.I will be recommending ASY. Tours to all my family and friends,especially as it is a Sri Lankan company with great local knowledge and expertise that would be difficult to improve upon.
