We recently concluded a two-week trip travelling throughout Sri Lanka using World Expeditions. With our input on sites to see, hikes to take, places of interest to visit, accommodations etc., the World Expeditions team provided an excellent and customized itinerary for our comprehensive private journey to Sri Lanka. The entire team was highly responsible and provided professional input up to the moment we departed for the trip. Upon arrival we were greeted by our guide and driver who provided dedication, attention to detail, and unwavering commitment to excellence all throughout the trip, consistently going above and beyond his responsibilities as a travel guide ensuring we would experience the "real” Sri Lanka. He consistently anticipated our needs to ensure that our questions or concerns were addressed and resolved. Being very intuitive, in addition to the hikes, temples and ancient cities visited in our itinerary, he also further customized our trip to include additional activities he knew we would both enjoy as wildlife and photo enthusiasts. Overall, this was an incredible experience and very satisfied that we used World Expeditions to organize this trip.

It is not often after a two week holiday, I am not ready to leave and get home. I went by myself and I could have repeated the holiday easily. George our guide was incredible, full of charm, humour & wit he was totally unflappable and his knowledge of his country was encyclopaedic encompassing politics, economics, flora, fauna, religion and animals. He worked tirelessly to ensure we all made the most of our time. Sri Lanka is an amazing country and the fun, laughter and camaraderie we all experienced will live with me for a long time.

The Sri Lanka cycling trip is fantastic. You see such varied landscape, and get away from the tourist trail. There is so much to see, multiple unesco world heritage sites, both natural and man made. A depth of history, 5th century - 12th century and then three colonial periods. The food is amazing - all very fresh, varied and plentiful. The cycling is more than moderate! especially with the humidity. I really enjoyed having a swimming pool at each of the hotels - a chance to refresh at the end of each day. What elevated the trip beyond great, was Ashan, our tour lead. His wealth of knowledge, gentle manner, and leadership made for an exceptional two weeks, that will stay with me for many years ahead.
