There wasn't enough free time available or time to do all the options, felt there was so much time wasted having to see 'a gem shop and temple of the tooth' etc that wasn't mandatory on the itinerary- so we missed out on seeing Kandy and could only fit in tea plantations (would have loved to have seen the town and botanical gardens etc)- must add an extra day for Kandy. Disappointed cooking class option that was on our itinerary wasn't on the local guides as well as free time through Galle after walking tour also wasn't available, otherwise we would have organised a visit there in the morning. Everyone would have loved to stay there for a night and one night at the elephant orphanage or attend cooking class and goto an actual elephant orphanage opposed to a safari.Show more

  Traveler•Written February 2026
  I prefer a tour not more than 8 days , also not more than 15 people and not travelling every day to another place. Would you recommend me one suitable for that? Are there also tours for more young people ages btw 35-50?
- Intrepid TravelOperator•Written February 2026
  As we offer pre-fixed tour itineraries, each tour comes with included activities, and the locations may change from day to day. This is designed to give our travellers the best and most diverse travel experience possible. Regarding group size, all of our trips are group tours, and most trips have a maximum of 15–16 people, so they fit nicely with your preference for smaller groups.
