Excellent comprehensive tour of major highlights of Sri Lanka, with extras thrown in. Particularly loved the cave temples of Dambulla, climbing Sigirya Lion Rock, Tea Country, Nine Arches Rail Trip, 3 x wild life safaris, lots of elephants, fish market at Negombo, beautiful Galle, Helga's Folly in Kandy (a must-see that we did independently), Kandy Temple of the Tooth ceremony. Did not like the big sell of the wood carvers, the batik seller or the moonstone factory. Also some of the buffet meals weren't great.

I had a great trip in Sri Lanka. We saw so much from Elephants, Bears, and even saw a whale on the whale watching trip. The cycling is moderate and we saw so much that we would never have seen from a vehicle. Ash and his team were helpful and knowledgeable and made the trip interesting. We always felt safe and looked after. I would thoroughly recommend this trip and have lovely memories of my time in Sri Lanka.

We reached out to several operators but chose to work with Lahiru due to his honesty and straightforwardness. We provided him with a list of our desired activities and accommodations for our 15-day trip, and Lahiru responded with an excellent itinerary and fantastic hotel recommendations. The price was reasonable, and the all-inclusive package meant we didn’t have to worry about any additional services. The hotels we stayed at was great, excellent food and amazing hospitality. The van was in good condition, equipped with air conditioning, and our driver, Asanka, skillfully navigated Sri Lanka's challenging roads. Lahiru, who also served as our guide, was incredibly knowledgeable and kind, making our experience even more enjoyable. Without a doubt, this is one of the best tour operators in Sri Lanka. Thank you, Linda and John
