Sri Lanka Experience

Sri Lanka Experience is a 10/10 recommendation from me if you’re thinking of visiting this amazing country! Intro made this whole process clear and simple from the start. The support before, during and after was great. The accommodation during the 12 days was gorgeous with a good mix of types including two nights in an eco retreat on the beach! Our group leader Matt was the best, he was so accommodating to everyone’s individual needs as well as our group. He was so welcoming from day dot and helped make our trip fun and easy. He had a wealth of knowledge about Sri Lanka (but also other countries) and no question was ever too much trouble. He ensured to make time for everybody and was always on top form even after 12 days of non stop leading and guiding! I really thought this was excellent value for money and would encourage anybody thinking of doing it to book, you wont regret seeing this incredibly beautiful country with Intro.

I had the best time in Sri Lanka, missing it already! Really happy to have had the opportunity to experience such a wide range of what the country has to offer. Sri Lanka is such a beautiful country, and travelling with Intro was really worth it. It also helped that our group had the best possible group leader, Matt, who organized everything very well, and made sure that everyone in the group was having a great time! It was very evident that he’s genuinely interested and has a lot of knowledge about Sri Lanka and the culture. (Also shoutout to Sarath and JJ for getting us safely around!)

Ich habe die Sri Lanka Experience Tour gemacht und war mega zufrieden. Die Leistungen die man erhalt sind wirklich top und die Guides mega nett und lieb und kümmern sich um alle Fragen, die man hat. Es war wie eine kleine Familie ♥ Absolut zu empfehlen! Thanks to Emma & Emma :D

Just returned from 12 Day Sri Lanka Experience trip. It was AMAZING! I haven;t travelled for a long time and was quite anxious but Matt, the group leader, was welcoming and immediately put me at ease. The itinerary was carefully planned and showcased Sri Lanka;s places and people ... so beautiful, happy and friendly. It was great that local guides and drivers were employed, allowing opportunities to ask lots of questions to locals. Loved the activities, including: hiking, safari, swimming, surfing, cooking, eating and drinking delicious cocktails! ... and dancing! Matt was fantastic, helping the group to gel ( 21 to 61 year olds, no mean feat) and was very knowledgeable about Sri Lankan history, culture and environment. Safely carrying baby turtles to the sea and beach cleaning were highlights, as well as Small Change activities. Matt helped everything to run smoothly and everyone to feel safe. I;m already looking at going on an Intro travel adventure again. Can;t wait!

I just finished the Sri Lanka Experience tour and it exceeded all of my expectations! It felt like I was travelling with my best friends, doing the most amazing activities, in the most spectacular country! Every day seemed to be even better than the last and I felt so incredibly grateful to be part of the tour. I really loved how intro gave back to the local communities and hired local tour guides with excellent knowledge of the culture and history. I also appreciated how all of the transport and activities were included in the initial cost of the tour. Our tour leader Matt always went above and beyond to make sure each individual felt safe, supported, and got the most out of their travels. His optimism, positive energy, incredible knowledge/experience, and relationship with the locals made this trip stress-free and so enjoyable. For my first time travelling with a group, this tour has definitely set the bar high! I can’t wait to do another one soon.

Intro travel are the best tour operators around. I loved how easy it was to see a beautiful country with the help and organisation of our amazing, fantastic tour leader Meg. I did the Sri Lanka trip in April 2025 and I cannot fault it. There is something for everyone, the people were amazing and everyone went above and beyond to make this the best trip ever. Can’t recommend enough.

Just finished the Intro Sri Lanka experience and wow it was definitely an unforgettable experience! Our tour leader Matt went above and beyond - he was super knowledgable, fun, organised and passionate. I couldn’t have asked for a better guide and group, we all bonded day 1 and laughed non stop for 12 days straight! We are even talking about having a reunion next year in South Africa. The tour itself is a perfect blend of cultural experiences, stunning beaches and hikes, animal conservation and delish food. This is my second tour with Intro and couldn’t recommend enough. Thanks again Matt for sharing your love of such a beautiful country ❤️🇱🇰

My trip to Sri Lanka was incredible from start to finish 🛺 Matt, our guide, was one of the friendliest, kindest, most genuine people I’ve ever met. From the first big warm hug on arrival, it felt like we’d been friends for years. I honestly don’t know how he kept up the energy through the whole trip, but he never had a bad day, he just smiled and smiled and smiled. My whole group were crackers, by the end I had a six-pack from laughing so much! I’m so grateful for the friendships and know we will be in touch for years to come. We’re already trying to organise a future tour together! I wish I could do the Sri Lanka trip again from start to finish…maybe one day I will. The only part I hated was saying goodbye at the end. After being sceptical about the price vs solo travelling at the start, I’m truly an Intro Travel convert. It was such good value for money and honestly you can’t put a price on the friendships, camaraderie, and fun. I’ll defiantly be back…hopefully with Matt, the best tour guide ever! 🩷

Jeg deltok pa 12 dager experience turen i Sri Lanka og er superfornoyd! Vi opplevde sa mye kult og sa mange nydelige steder. Gruppelederen var Emma Q. var helt fantastisk hele turen, informasjonen var superbra, hun hadde masse kunnskap om stedene vi dro, fant pa nye goye ting dersom ikke alt gikk etter planen, i tillegg til a vare inkluderende, snill og en ekspert pa a ta de beste bildene! Anbefaler virkelig denne turen og Intro travel pa det sterkeste.

I just finished the 12-day Sri Lanka Experience trip with Emma. It was exceptional. I’ve been to almost 60 countries, many of them on group tours that leave much to be desired. So that’s why I was a bit nervous to go on this tour with Intro, but I’m so happy I did! Long story short, Intro plans excellent itineraries that are very well balanced between culture and fun, organised activities and free time, regular experiences and very unique “bonus” activities (monastery visit, BBQ on the beach, yoga class, etc.). I loved it. As a bonus, there were no BS stops at overpriced shops. Emma was amazing. She was patient, organised, inclusive, authentic and engaged. She made sure there was group cohesion and safety, and she takes genuine interest in both the travellers and locals. When things didn’t go according to plan, she (and the rest of the team) were able to improvise and solve problems so everyone is happy and we didn’t miss out on anything. A huge plus is that she takes excellent pictures. It felt like taking a trip with friends rather than a group tour. Strongly recommend! And the coconuts in Sri Lanka are amazing!!!
