We will be back again! Thanks for the great tour and the super care we got from Ruwan our driver, guide, organizer, great conversationalist and friend. The accommodations were great and some very special too. Positively special because they were just great hotels due to the location. Ruwan has also taken into account our wishes and we have had through him certainly many beautiful moments that we would not have experienced in a solo trip so. Also the consideration for the limited mobility of my wife and that nevertheless much was made possible, have ands enthusiastic. We have seen great places and people, learned a lot from our guide Ruwan about the country and the culture, so that it was an unforgettable beautiful vacation. The country and the immee friendly people are special. We never felt unsafe. Thanks to the team of TourRadar, who were available with advice even before booking, thanks to Show-Lanka Tours for the great planning and thanks to Ruwan, who was just great, helpful and made the tour with special features and his friendly nature to an unforgettable vacation experience. We will come again! Thank you Ralf from GermanyShow more

The hotels were nice. The last Hotel was very poor but our guide was able to correct it with a new hotel across the street. This hotel was perfect. Marissa Beach was a bit noisy. We went to another beach, After our tour, in Habaraduwa. This beach was excellent and very peaceful. We suggest this place instead of Mirissa Beach. The tour itself and Mr Janaka were very good. He was a caring man who went out of his way to make us happy. He even helped find medicine for my wife when she got a cold. He was a professional and skilled driver. He was always cautious and alert to his surroundings. He always catered to our requests and was very flexible with our tour/stops. The trip was a good value. Thanks for sharing your culture and Country with us.Show more

Dear Mr,Jeson We believe that your Sri Lankan tour will be a very pleasant one as your guide informed. You went to different places in different parts of Sri Lanka for 15 days and he worked to provide you the best possible services by making minor changes as per your needs. It became clear. Also, based on his prompt information about the Mirissa Hotel, we were able to provide you with a very high quality hotel within a few minutes, which is worth more than what you paid for us. We express our deep regret if there was any inconvenience for a few minutes and thank you very much for choosing us for your Srilanka vacation. Nimali Tour co-ordinator showlanka team
