Biggest smiles I have seen so far ♡
5 - Excellent
  • Wiktoria
“This was an unforgettable adventure! There was a great balance between learning about the culture and still getting to have fun and relax. I can honestly say this was my favourite holiday so far. There was me thinking Machu Picchu was unbeatable :) Our guide was lovely from the moment we met him, he was really approachable and easy to chat with. We were able to have our input and he always ensured we were having fun. Sri Lanka in itself... well all I can say is go explore. It's a beautiful destination where people wear their hearts on their sleeves and have the biggest smiles I have seen so far ”
Amazing trip
5 - Excellent
  • Piyumi Balasooriya Lekamlage
“I had an amazing time. Highlights were Kruger national park and the Delta and the nighlty camp fires under the stars. It was a well planned trip mainly due to our tour leader Thabang, Lizzie our cook and Vincent our driver. There were long drives as per the itinerary but it was the only way to see the beautiful southern africa in a timely manner. Thank you for a great trip!”
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!”
