Sri Lanka Tours for Experienced Travelers

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.

Fantastically varied and action packed trip in beautiful, vibrant, colourful Sri Lanka. This tour had everything; two millennium of fascinating history, interesting towns and cities as well as stunning scenery and golden beaches. Wildlife in abundance including leopards, elephants and blue whales. The bus, food, and hotels were all good and made even better by the always friendly Sri Lankan hospitality lead by Sujesh our wonderful guide, who was kind, thoughtful and entertaining in equal measure. One of the best trips I have been on for sure.

This was my first Explore trip, and it turned out to be the best group tour I’ve done so far. I really enjoyed the itinerary, the group, and above all, our tour leader Sujith. He was outstanding – attentive to everyone, full of knowledge about Sri Lanka’s history, culture, people, and economy, and always finding ways to make the journey special with spontaneous stops and unique local interactions. I would highly recommend both this trip and Explore to anyone considering a visit to Sri Lanka.

We had a fantastic trip with Mimi as our tour leader. The quality of the hotels was great (particularly at Kandalama and Galle) and Mimi was a great guide providing the right amount of information needed and answering questions comprehensively. We loved the itinerary but would have welcomed an extra day in both Nuwara Eliya and Galle to give a bit more relaxation time and also a change to see more of these places. We loved all the extra stops now mentioned in the trip notes and felt well looked after throughout. Thank you so much for a great trip.

The leader was exceptional and made efforts to introduce us to local experiences. He provided information on a number of interesting topics and was open to questions of all kinds. He was friendly, kind and made everyone in the group feel included and important!

This was an excellent short tour but, even though it was only 6 days, it felt as if we packed in at least 12 days-worth of activity. It was a great introduction to Sri Lanka with a fantastic range of visits and activities. Our tour leader, George, was great and highly informative and our bus driver, Tony, was a very good driver and organiser. I think I would like to go back to each place we visited again to spend longer and this really has provided a great taster.
