Sri Lanka Beach Trips

The Sri Lanka tour was excellent. The country offers a great variety of historical sites, wildlife and landscapes. The tour was well paced without ever feeling rushed. It does include a couple of early starts and there is a fair amount of barefoot walking within the temple complexes. Our guide Ash (ably supported by the driver Damit and assistant Harsha) was exceptional. He clearly has a love of his home country and was so knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the history and the significance of the sites we visited. He was a great story teller and brought the past to life. Ash was always very attentive to the group to ensure we had the opportunity to try local foods and drinks and to visit local markets so as to get a greater sense of the life of everyday Sri Lankans. One highlight was a short visit to a family whose livelihood was dependent upon growing and then using every part of the coconut. A cracking trip which I can thoroughly recommend.

This trip gave a very good insight into what Sri Lanka has to offer. Our guide 'Ash' entertained us en route to our destinations with stories which brought the history and culture to life. His passion for his country shone through every day and his sense of humour was infectious. He was ably assisted by Damith, our superb driver and Hamesh, his assistant, who was always there when we needed him. Our itinerary was varied from temples and wildlife to beaches and a world renown train journey on the Kandy to Ella train. We were very lucky in that we were one step ahead of the cyclonic depression which sadly left so much damage in it's wake.

Sri Lanka Explore trip was excellent! Our guide was awesome and went above and beyond our expectations. Je had a vast knowledge of every area visited. Food and accommodation was great . We're going back .

Sudesh, the group leader/guide, was excellent. He was knowledgeable, kind and always went the extra mile for each guest. I can't praise him highly enough. I think the itinerary could be adjusted to make it even better. I would recommend 'doing' Colombo on the first day, rather than the last, and spending the last couple of days resting on the beautiful beaches. It is a very busy tour and by the end of the holiday a big busy city with yet another temple rather loses its attraction. overall, though a great holiday.

We had an amazing trip to Sri Lanka. Our guide Ash was amazing and very knowledgeable about wildlife, history and the culture of his country. Sri Lanka was full of highlights and we would recommend anyone to visit.

We thoroughly enjoyed the Sri Lanka in depth tour. It enabled us to explore the history, culture, beautiful and varied scenery and wildlife of the island with a great group and fantastic tour leader. Ash was extremely knowledgeable and efficient, very friendly and approachable, and well supported by our driver and assistant.
