Colombo Farm and plantation visits Trips

Wow! I love being an explorer. When on tour, with Explore, I feel I'm part of the landscape, intermingled with the culture and mixing authenticly with the indigenous people. This whistle stop tour was made even better by a planned itinerary that wasn't rigerously imposed but gently revealed and a guide that new her country. We were specially taken to the wonders of Sri Lanka with a informed hand that kept in giving throughout the trip. I enjoyed the way the delights of Sri Lanka were revealed in the moment and the surprise you have when opening a present. What a gift!

I would like to commend both the bus driver and assistant for going above and beyond. The driver was the most competent and safe one I have ever experienced. He drove in some difficult situations and was always safe and calm. I am often nervous in buses on crazy roads but not once did I feel unsafe. The assistant Upul was also an absolute gem. Gave us flowers every day.. helped us on and off the bus.. filled our water.. just a beautiful man. Please make sure these men get the accolades they deserve.

Fabulous walking and touring holiday. Hotels were all decent to very good. Our tour leader, Cham, was excellent - very knowledgeable and always willing to do extra optional things. We were a small group and we wanted to do everything! The tour itinerary was excellent and we felt like we saw nearly everything that a tour only group would see in addition to all the walking in remote locations and seeing beautiful views and remote villages. Highly recommended!!!

Sri Lanka exceeded our expectations and the itinerary was excellent excluding multiple tent stays. The nature, animals and religious temples were amazing, I would highly recommend this trip, it was probably one of my favourite trips with G, thank you for being an awesome company and our preferred was to travel

My husband and I have nothing but good things to say about this tour. From the moment we were picked up at the airport to our last hotel check-in, everything ran smoothly and efficiently. The hotels were lovely, the food delicious, and the excursions taught us so much about the history and culture of this beautiful country. We made memories we will cherish. It was so nice to not have to worry about connections, or what to do next as everything was looked after. A fact we greatly appreciated as it is our first trip to Sri Lanka. I highly recommend this tour.

While our guide was helpful, sometimes she seemed a bit off and impatient with us. It got better as the trip went on, but maybe it was because the trip was coming to an end. Sometimes more information might have been helpful in terms of what to expect. For example, the jeep tour in Colombo, while that was fun, it went on for hours, and we didn't really know how long it was going on for and when it would end. We seemed to go around the city in circles and saw places we'd already seen. The glamping - it was also fun, but I don't think this can be classified as "premium" glamping, in line with the tour being advertised and costed as a premium tour. Obviously you do not expect hotel style accommodation, but the tent was pretty basic. Some of the hotels were very lovely and definately 5 star, others classified as 5 star were probably more like 4 star. But they were fine, this is not a complaint. Just an observation that they should be classified correctly.
