What people love about Yala National Park Tours
- 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!

Our guide, Susil, was truly outstanding. His professionalism, courtesy, deep knowledge, and impeccable driving skills stood out. It was evident that he holds great pride in his role, his vehicle, and in ensuring top-notch customer service. Our Sri Lankan vacation was magical, both because of the nation's intrinsic beauty and owing to the exceptional service by Susil and the holiday tour team. The array of activities and sights is vast. The locals are incredibly welcoming and go out of their way to assist. The political situation has no bearing on the vacation experience or the tourism sector. Don't let it hold you back from visiting!
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!

"We had an excellent guide who was an expert in all the local sights. Nisha had a great knowledge of the history and wildlife and he made the whole tour a pleasure. He went the extra mile to make the trip extra special for us and we really appreciated all his efforts to enhance our experience in Sri Lanka. The hotels were clean and pleasant stays, very warm welcomes from the hosts and some very exceptional views - especially in Ella.
