My family and I had a fantastic fortnight in Sri Lanka. The wildlife, culture, history and activities were all well balanced, and delivered on the ground by our excellent guide. We loved the variety of locations - from bustling city to tranquil rainforest. And the variety of transport - from our safe and comfortable bus to a jostling train journey and crazy tuktuk ride through Colombo.

This was a great trip. The bikes were good and well-maintained. Accommodation was a nice mix of hotels. We had good food and good company. The wildlife and culture of Sri Lanka is wonderful. The guide, Ash was knowledgeable and clearly cared that we were all happy and enjoying his beautiful country. His team were smiley and helpful. Ash had to exercise diplomacy unfortunately as there was one bad apple client, (people!!) but he did this quietly and confidently.

Really excellent trip - we saw and experienced so many things. Only downside is it meant a lot of travelling on the bus and only one night in every hotel. Highlights were the Safari - seeing the elephants especially. Climbing Lions Rock at 6am and the delightful food we had along the way. Our guide, Chamodi was very enthusiastic and friendly. She was especially good with the children.
