Sri Lanka 9-Day Tour Reviews
Honest insights from past guests on our 9-Day Sri Lanka tours
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! ! !
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!
From the private pick up at the airport in Colombo to drop off at the airport things could not have gone more smoothly. The pace of the tour was excellent given its short duration. Accommodations were very good-clean, comfortable and well located. Sri Lanka is a stunning country with friendly people, beautiful scenery and an abundance of wildlife.
The cultural tour of Sri Lanka was amazing! and well organized. We dealt with this local tour operator by email and responded fast to our questions/requests. all the Hotels/accommodations were great, with really good quality and locations. Our Tour Guide/Driver was very knowledgeable, personable and a great guide on our Safari too. The entire tour went off without an issue. We have wonderful memories which we will cherish life long. Thank you once again.
Really excellent trip - we saw and experienced so many things. Only downside is it meant a lot of travelling on the bus and only one night in every hotel. Highlights were the Safari - seeing the elephants especially. Climbing Lions Rock at 6am and the delightful food we had along the way. Our guide, Chamodi was very enthusiastic and friendly. She was especially good with the children.
I have done trips with the tour operator in Bali and Vietnam, but the Sri Lanka tour was definitely my favourite itinerary. The group, activities and experiences were amazing. Our guide, Waji, was absolutely incredible, he has so much knowledge about the country, is very funny and super helpful. I've made some incredible memories and can't wait for my next trip!
