Best holiday ever!

From a warm welcome at the airport to a sad goodbye at the end, this was the best holiday we have ever had! Our tour leader ensured we experienced the real Sri Lanka in a responsible way with numerous activities and something to suit everyone. Our group of 8 adults and 8 children (aged 10-17) became great friends and the organisation of our leader meant we could relax and enjoy our holiday. Be warned - going back to work is difficult after such a great trip!!

We have recently finished the Sri Lanka tour with the tour operator and enjoyed it immensely. The scenery was beautiful and the cycling was very enjoyable. Our guides and support staff were excellent and they couldn't do enough to help you. The ride up to Hatton was challenging and does demand a fair degree of fitness in the heat, but it was worth the energy when you arrived. Everyone rides at their own pace and the back up vehicles are ever present. This is one of the best holidays we have ever had and I highly recommend this tour operator if you are considering a truly memorable cycling holiday. Sri Lanka is an incredibly beautiful country with equally beautiful people!
