Truly an unforgettable trip - well paced with great variety. Temple and city tour was amazing. Ancient sites were fascinating, and the guide shared lots of history. Sigiriya Rock Fortress was stunning, though the climb was a bit exhausting in the heat. Kandy’s cultural show was vibrant and fun. Nuwara Eliya’s tea fields were lush and the tea factory visit very informative. The safari was the absolute highlight - saw elephants and deer up close. Very worth it.Show more

I’m so glad we chose this tour guide was friendly, on time, and told us interesting facts about every site. Our hotels were comfortable and clean. Polonnaruwa’s ruins felt like a hidden gem and Sigiriya was spectacular. The botanical garden in Kandy was lovely for a slow morning walk. Nuwara Eliya was bracingly cool and very scenic. The safari was unforgettable - elephants everywhere. The whole trip felt smooth and well-organized from start to finish.Show more

Our Sri Lanka tour was exactly what we hoped for. From landing in Colombo to the final goodbye, everything felt smooth. Airport pickup was punctual and friendly. The hotels on this trip were clean and comfortable with good breakfasts every morning. Sigiriya Rock Fortress was a real highlight - the climb was steep but totally worth it. Our local guide gave lots of history and fun local tips. The wildlife safari at Udawalawe was unforgettable, especially the elephants in the wild.Show more
