Perfectly designed tour
5 - Excellent
  • Seran Yucel
“Our trip guide Dave was there as soon as we got off the plane, he was super knowledgeable and enthusiastic the whole time! All of our accommodations were outstanding! The itinerary of this tour was designed perfectly. I really enjoyed teaching monks English, hammocking on the beach, eating BBQs, and taking a scenic train ride through a tea plantation. This will be my first of many trips with the tour operator!”
Amazing experience
5 - Excellent
  • Pippa Henry
“Another amazing experience with the tour operator! While this a new country for the company, they still made sure I had an amazing time! Ive noticed the group leaders never fail to be amazing and Charley absolutely kept up that record! She made the tour amazing for us and I cant thank her enough for that!”
Really recommend you all go on this tour!

“The Sir Lanka tour was amazing! It was so well organised and all of the accommodation was fab. The food was unique and really tasty. All our buses and transport was all on time. All in All, the Sir Lanka experience is a great way to see Sir Lanka and uncover its hidden beauty. Our guy was a 10/10 and showed all the best places. I really recommend you all go on this tour!”
