Negombo Tours in Spring

I just finished the Sri Lanka Experience tour and it exceeded all of my expectations! It felt like I was travelling with my best friends, doing the most amazing activities, in the most spectacular country! Every day seemed to be even better than the last and I felt so incredibly grateful to be part of the tour. I really loved how intro gave back to the local communities and hired local tour guides with excellent knowledge of the culture and history. I also appreciated how all of the transport and activities were included in the initial cost of the tour. Our tour leader Matt always went above and beyond to make sure each individual felt safe, supported, and got the most out of their travels. His optimism, positive energy, incredible knowledge/experience, and relationship with the locals made this trip stress-free and so enjoyable. For my first time travelling with a group, this tour has definitely set the bar high! I can’t wait to do another one soon.

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!

Intro travel are the best tour operators around. I loved how easy it was to see a beautiful country with the help and organisation of our amazing, fantastic tour leader Meg. I did the Sri Lanka trip in April 2025 and I cannot fault it. There is something for everyone, the people were amazing and everyone went above and beyond to make this the best trip ever. Can’t recommend enough.

The itinerary offered a perfect mix of adventure, culture, and comfort. Every day brought something new — from wildlife safaris and scenic nature walks to temple visits and authentic local experiences — all complemented by stays in beautiful premium hotels, which provided the perfect place to relax and recharge. One of the standout highlights was the food — every meal was bursting with flavour, and the cooking class in Ella was one of my favourite experiences. We made eight delicious curries with a local family — such a fun and memorable way to connect with the culture! Sri Lanka is an absolute must!

This was a really comprehensive tour of Sri Lanka covering many of the must-see sights. Our guide, George was knowledgeable, organised and helpful, with a good sense of humour and our driver (Hector) was always welcoming and patient with the photographers among us. The programme is very full and involves a lot of time in the coach and on some occasions not enough time to just experience the place. However, unlike recent reviews, our accommodation was great and the locations well chosen. Although there were sometimes western alternatives, be prepared for a lot of Sri Lankan curries at lunch and dinner. While the trip requires only moderate stamina overall, the optional Adam’s Peak ascent is definitely not for the faint-hearted or those with weak knees!

Just finished the Intro Sri Lanka experience and wow it was definitely an unforgettable experience! Our tour leader Matt went above and beyond - he was super knowledgable, fun, organised and passionate. I couldn’t have asked for a better guide and group, we all bonded day 1 and laughed non stop for 12 days straight! We are even talking about having a reunion next year in South Africa. The tour itself is a perfect blend of cultural experiences, stunning beaches and hikes, animal conservation and delish food. This is my second tour with Intro and couldn’t recommend enough. Thanks again Matt for sharing your love of such a beautiful country ❤️🇱🇰
