Premium Sri Lanka

Our Premium tours are entirely suitable for those over 60, in fact the average age on these tours are 50-70 years old. The physical rating is a 2 (out of 5) for this one, meaning some easy physical activities are included in your trip. No physical preparation is required to make the most of the journey. For Day 4 if you are unable to or are uncomfortable riding a bike, you can opt out of this activity entirely. Your trip leader can help organize something else for you during this time or you can sit back and relax for a bit at the accommodation while the group is out. There may be others that would like to opt out as well so perhaps you can go explore on foot instead. Our trips do not include the cost of international airfare, which allows our travellers to join the adventure from their desired location.

Just returned from The Jewels of Sri Lanka tour and we had a great time. Anando was so enthusiastic about his county's culture, history and people. The 1 st couple of days were full on but we learned a great deal about Sri Lanka. The tour was varied with Temples, Tea plantations, wild life ( saw lots of elephants, crockodiles, buffalo, mongoose), eating in various restaurant and private houses. The food was wonderful and the hotels were lovely. We went whale watching from Marissa beach near Galle and saw blue whales and lots of dolphins. Our driver and baggage handler were very good and nothing was too much trouble. This was the first time we holidayed with Peregrine and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. We would not hesitate to use Peregrine in future. .Show more

Premium Sri Lanka - 9 days, is this suitable for over 60's. I cannot see physical rating, also would you be able to book flight tickets if requested. Also day 4 there is a cycle tour in the itinerary, if you cannot ride a bike, does that mean this tour is not suitable for me.
