Trip of a lifetime with Kalana. Just home (we were a group of 4 friends, all girls in our mid-20s) from the most amazing 9 day trip organized perfectly by Atkien Spence Travel. Some of the highlights of the trip included amazing views in Sigiriya, a jeep safari (where we saw elephants and leopards) and visiting a turtle hatchery. Sri Lanka is a beautiful country, and the people are so nice, but it was our tour guide, Kalana, who made the trip so memorable! We have made a friend for life and cannot recommend Kalana enough!

You must visit Sri Lanka. My wife and I had a wonderful tour of Sri Lanka. Our guide Selva was excellent - his English was very good, he was extremely knowledgeable about everything we saw, and he communicated extremely well. We visited Negombo, Kassapa, Kandy, Galle and Colombo. The highlight for me was the Sigiriya Rock Fortress tour and jeep safari to Kaudulla National Park where we saw 200 elephants. Despite the terrorist attacks earlier this year and the added security, we feel extremely safe. Don't let that put you off. Unfortunately, tourism has been reduced due to this. I encourage you to visit Sri Lanka. Not only will you see some wonderful sights and be greeted by wonderful locals, but you will help the tourism industry get back on its feet again.

Wonderful trip with Harsha Gayal Perera. Sri Lanka is a very beautiful country. We highly recommend Aitken Spence Travel Agency for the tour guides they work with. Our tour included the visit of the ancient capitals of the country, the most important temples and also focused on the current culture and society. A mixture of nature and history, which allows you to learn a lot from this experience. Our vacation was perfect thanks also to our guide Gayal, who made it unforgettable. Aitken Spencer Travel should be proud to have a person like Gayal. We invite all readers not to worry about choosing Sri Lanka as a travel destination full of history, legends, spirituality, colours, sound and wonderful people. You can trust an expert tour guide like Gayal and you won't run into any challenges. Enjoy this country! ! !
