G Adventures commented on this reviewThanks so much for sharing your experience with us, Danny! We are delighted to know that you enjoyed Sri Lanka with us and hope to welcome you on another adventure in the near future!Trip date: January 2025 
Lee· December 29th, 2024Sri Lankan people are so wonderfully friendly and happy. We saw the Kapil brothers' gardens and an orphanage which had previously been owned by a Scottish couple who had no children. See the tsunami site where there is a monument for those who lost their lives. Different culture but they like everyone. Elephant safari is more about the driving experience of the young males in their mud antics. Wonderful food to experience too.Show moreG Adventures commented on this reviewThank you for sharing your experience with us, Lee! It sounds like a wonderful trip. We hope to welcome you on another adventure in the near future!Trip date: November 2017- DCDana· July 27th, 2024An amazing trip. Plenty to do if you like to keep busy and equally plenty of opportunities to relax if that's your thing the tour has options for both. Good mix of culture, history, hikes or just chill around the pool. Highly recommend to anyone wanting to try Sri Lanka.Show moreG Adventures commented on this reviewThank you so much for your review, Dana! We are so glad you enjoyed Sri Lanka with us.

- Vivian· March 13th, 2024I went in late February to early March. I loved the organization and the planning of the tour. We saw so much in so little time in different settings from villages, temples, beaches and watching local artisans. Udi was a great tour guide, always available and the life of the party. He is very approachable when asking for advice on where to go, how much to tip and how to get there. I personally wished there was more time spent in columbo and near galle fort. The only thing I would change is for the tour to end in a location close to the airport as the last location mirissa is about a 2.5 to 3 hour cab ride to the main airport in columbo.Show moreG Adventures commented on this reviewWe are so happy to hear that you enjoyed your adventure with us. We hope to see you on another G Adventure again soon.Trip date: February 2024

- Abigail· March 17th, 2022I really enjoyed the tour which was a good balance of culture, beach time and wildlife. Just a couple of things that were not so great- the ‘scenic’ train to Ella was an awful experience- we were crammed into carriages where we could not move/sit/see out the window. One of the people on our tour fainted as it was so hot and given the covid situation it was not great at all. We all agreed afterwards that we would have preferred to pay first class- at least this way if the train is busy you can get a seat and if not you can chose to go 2nd or 3rd class. Also having reread the itinerary I’ve realised that we weren’t given the option to go to Polonnaruwa which on reflection I would have liked to do. Other than that I would recommend the tour.Show moreG Adventures commented on this reviewHi Abigail, Thank you for taking the time to send through your feedback.

- SSueWilliams· March 8th, 2019There are some points I'd like to pick up on: 1. It would be a good idea to have a hotel for our 1st night much closer to Columbo airport as it took over an hour to get to the Sapphire Hotel (traffic jams through Columbo) - especially as our 2nd night was in Negombo itself, which is so close to the airport! 2. We were surprised to visit such a big Spice Garden with lots of coach tours, etc, which was very keen for us to buy their produce! We thought G Adventures supported smaller charity projects. 3. We suggest the last night of the tour be much closer to Columbo airport. The drive from Mirissa to Columbo airport was 3-4 hours, which we had to arrange and pay for ourselves (Udaya was very happy to help us arrange the taxis). 4. We were told to be very careful in Mirissa as it's a dangerous place with people ripping you off and particularly dangerous for girls on their own. Why does G Adventures stay there for the R&R? - especially as Udaya also warned us about not swimming in the lagoon which our hotel rooms looked out on!? Surely there are safer resorts further round the coast and closer to Columbo Airport (see 3)? 5. Our CEO, Udaya, was brilliant going out of his way to help us (eg when members of the group were ill), doing extra activities which weren't on the itinerary and explaining the culture, history, etc of Sri Lanka. He clearly loves his homeland and wants us to take that love back home with us. However, we had to listen to him very carefully to understand his English.Show moreG Adventures commented on this reviewThanks for the fair and balanced review here Sue, we do appreciate it. We will look into things and what we can do about this in future - thanks for helping us to get better at what we do.Trip date: February 2019
