A very intense but comprehensive trip of stunning Sri Lanka. Sigiriya, Adams Peak and Ella were highlights for me. Also the visits to locals, who showed you the traditional and still ongoing ways of using the food and nature around them. The one thing that negatively affected our trip was that we went over their New Year (Easter) and a lot of things were closed including the tea factory’s so we weren’t able to see a working one. And no alcohol was served for 4 days (In 30 degree heat, it’s nice to have the odd cold beer).

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.
