This was a very enjoyable trip with an exerienced Guide. Eleni really made us live the Ancient Times through her excellent knowledge, educational activities and lovely personnality. The sites we visited were amazing, the 3 star hotels were of a good standard and well located. I highly recommend this trip.
Easy communication! The hotel is excellent and location is city centre and safe, so I just walked everywhere. Plenty of restaurants outside the hotel. The tour meet up location is also few minutes walk only! Don�t miss the Royal Palace. Is a must to see it and only steps away. I�m very happy with this trip and highly recommended to add to your itinerary especially for someone who is doing solo travel like me and concerned about safety.
This tour was a great trip that was personalised as it was done in small numbers. I particularly enjoyed the choice of food places, as we were able to enjoy traditional foods, including street food, that we would not have known about otherwise.

We were picked up from Heriklion and taken to our hotel. Hotel was good, my only comment is that we would have preferred to pay a little extra and gone all inclusive as we could only have food in the evening meal which also included water that we had to pay for. Trip to knossos was very informative and ticket was also valid for the museum in Heraklion, which we visited in the afternoon. The safari trip was fantastic. Jason our guide was funny and knowledgable. We learnt a lot about the villages in the mountains, saw the sunken village, visited a goat herder and watched cheese being made then tried them with raki. Amazing Day especially travelling on the roads up the mountains. Very good value for money.
From the moment Sam picked us up from the airport, nothing was too much trouble for him. if he could make your stay better he would. He offered advice and local knowledge but was never over the top. As a guide he was familiar with and had a real passion for his country. The weather was bad in the south of the country for our first week, so Aitken Spence changed our itinerary so we went northeast first and south the second week, meaning we missed the rain. How many companies would do that? I recommend this company and Sam.
Used these guys through TUI for a 2 day safari tour from Waikkal, traveled to Udawalawe elephant transit home and on to Yala for an afternoon game drive followed by Udawalawe national park game drive on the day 2, my guide Sihan was fabulous and went out of his way to make sure my experience was everything I wanted, I had an amazing 2 day safari trip. Thank you
What an amazing experience! Surprises around every corner. We really learned about the culture, ate great meals and visited several hidden gems! Highly recommend!! Thank you to our awesome guide, Joao!
Brilliant Central Highlands + Sirigiya Tour. My parents, husband and I booked a private tour with Aitken Spence to travel to Sirigiya and the Central Highlands for a 5 day 6 night trip and we couldn't be more pleased. From start to finish the whole tour was very well organized thanks to a great organizer and great driver-guide Kusum who was very helpful and approachable throughout the trip. He was also very knowledgeable about Sri Lanka and was able to answer almost every question we asked him about the country! He was also, most importantly, a very safe driver who was highly skilled at driving (a useful skill when navigating the narrow roads of the central highlands). Aitken Spence also booked us in on some of the most amazing hotels we've ever stayed at. The lake views and amazing room upgrade at Heritance Kandalama was particularly memorable. The service and atmosphere at the Heritance Tea Factory, located inside a tea plantation, was also unforgettable. 98 Acres, facing Little Adam's Peak, gave us a wonderful sunrise and star gazing opportunity. Overall a great experience and I highly recommend it.
Packed into 4 days was a wonderful trip that captured the essence of ancient Greece outside of Athens. Being able to see the site of the first Olympics and to learn about the Oracle at Delphi were highlights!
