Sheila DÂ | Traveled in January
An excellent tour with a very knowledgeable guide who was always on hand. Driver and assistant great as well. Standard of hotels generally very good but camping was something of a shock to the uninitiated and could have been much reduced. Saw so much in the varied tour and was a brilliant experience.
Anonymous | Traveled in January
This was an amazing trip with such a varied itinerary - trying to remember everything we did at the end of it was quite a challenge. At the same time we didn’t feel over rushed although we were on the go much of the time. The hotels were great with really lovely swimming pools which we made the most of. We were lucky enough to travel with a great group of people who quickly became friends and to have a fantastic team taking us around this beautiful country.

Our guide/driver (Thalik) was fantastic as he safely navigated the busy road of Sri Lanka and simultaneously told us of the history, geography, religion and politics of this beautiful country. He took us to all the sites listed on our itinerary and more
