Our two-week round trip through Sri Lanka was an unforgettable experience! The organization was excellent right from the start, the agency was always friendly, responded quickly to our requests and was flexible to our wishes. The hotels were mostly very good and the food was consistently delicious and gave us a great insight into the culinary diversity of the country. We particularly enjoyed the varied mix of culture (e.g. temple visits, cooking course) and nature (e.g. tea plantation, safari). Overall, the program was well coordinated and varied. One small point of improvement from our point of view: The visit to the gemstone museum/boutique seemed more like a sales event to us and was therefore not quite as appropriate in our otherwise very coherent program. Instead, we would have preferred to use the time to explore Kandy a little longer at our leisure. However, special thanks go to our driver and guide Darshana, who was instrumental in making these two weeks so special for us. With his friendly, calm and extremely professional manner, he made us feel safe at all times. He always drove carefully and safely, was attentive and always responded to our needs. In addition, he provided us with lots of exciting background information, both on the major sights and on small details along the way. This enabled us to get to know the country, culture and people even better. Overall, we can look back on two wonderful weeks and can highly recommend the tour and the agency.Show more

Thank you for your feedback. We’re very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the tour overall and appreciated Nalin’s excellent service, driving skills, and the comfort of the vehicle. We regret that the Warrior Village did not meet your expectations and that the long drive felt unnecessary. Your comments are valuable and will help us improve our itineraries to ensure all activities bring real value to our guests. We truly appreciate your review and hope to welcome you again on another Sri Lankan adventure.

The tour is really highly recommended! We had a very sympathetic, dedicated guide and driver who led us through the country for 2 weeks! The hotels were almost all of a very high standard and were in great locations. We would have liked to stay longer sometimes. The sights of the trip were well chosen and colorful, all unique! Our kids (10 and 12 years old) were also mostly thrilled, especially of course with the wildlife in the national parks, the mangrove forests, the sea turtles and the whales! It was a wonderfully varied trip through a beautiful country!Show more
