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

The tour was fantastic although we would have preferred to add two nights at Yalta and reduce the beach nights at Earls Reef Hotel. Also although we did a day trip to Colombo from Bentoto, the traffic held us up and limited our time in Colombo. If we had finished our tour with one night in Colombo we could have seen more
