- Splendour Of Sri Lanka (7 Days) Free Upgrade to Private Tour Available
Overall a very fine tour. Being in the off-season, I had a personal tour , not the advertised"Maximum of 6 "Van tour. First 3-4 days were excellent. My tour guide was superb. The best tour attractions of heritage and culture / natures. As I did not have resources to pay for pricey safari tour (& the lack of whales in the boat excursion!) the last day or so were less fulfilling. Beauty Lanka Travels were most assiduous with my needs and comfort. Congratulations!

I booked an Splendour Of Sri Lanka (8 Days) with Beauty Lanka Travels. Me and my friend had lots of fun and we were given the best of the service. Prior to make the bookings I inquired with several other operators and Beauty Lanka Travels provided us with the most reasonable prices. The staff was very cooperative with us and adjusted the iternary in the way we wanted. The hotels they provided us with were also very reasonable and had the best of the facilities. All in all we had a fun filled tour and our chauffeur guide added up to the best things on the trip. He knew every place we went to inside out and was very friendly and warming throughout. We had the best tour. Keep up the good work Beauty Lanka Travels!

"My sister and I just completed this 7 day tour of Sri Lanka last week. We got to see all the main highlights of this beautiful country in a short time period. We had Jaya as our driver and tour guide, he was excellent and very knowledgeable about his country and all the places we went to. He was always ready to pick us up on time quickly and drove very safely and comfortably to each destination. He also agreed to every request if we wanted to stop anywhere in particular and gave us all our options for every day and recommended the best time for each. Highly recommend Jaya! The only criticism we have is that the quality of hotels were not very good, we did expect it considering the overall cost of the tour was not too expensive but they were probably worse than we anticipated. A few of them were also quite remote with not much around them or anything to do. Also, I had requested and confirmed with Beauty Lanka for twin bed rooms but on arrival at each hotel they were all queen/double bed rooms so my sister and I had to share a bed, even after I asked each hotel. Apart from that the itinerary was good and Jaya was excellent!

"I had an incredible 7-day tour in Sri Lanka with Holiday Lanka Tours and it was an experience I'll never forget. From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized. Our driver, Isuru, was absolutely amazing—friendly, professional, and knowledgeable, making every part of the trip enjoyable and stress-free. He was always punctual and ensured we were comfortable throughout the journey. The tour operator was incredibly helpful and always ready to assist with any queries or changes we had along the way. The route they selected for the tour was well thought out, covering all the must-see places, as well as hidden gems that gave us a true taste of Sri Lankan culture. The hotels chosen were fantastic, offering a great balance of comfort and local charm. We were well taken care of, and the accommodations were always in great locations, allowing us to relax and enjoy the sights. Overall, I highly recommend Holiday Lanka Tours to anyone looking for a well-organized and memorable trip to Sri Lanka. I can’t wait to return to this beautiful country!
