Sri Lanka Getaways and short breaks Trips

Short vacation with family. We have been waiting for a long time for the countries to open for tourists after the pandemic situation. And here's bingo! Sri Lanka opens borders! We do not hesitate to fly on a short vacation to coincide with Valentine's Day. It is a pity, of course, that not all hotels have opened, the choice is not great, but Aitken Spence Travels has done everything possible to make it possible to choose according to price and quality. We stayed at the Heritance Ahungalla, the hotel is not bad, the food is excellent, the staff is friendly and very hospitable. But I would like to highlight especially the employee of Aitken Spence Travels Chamith Shantha, thanks to whom our vacation was wonderful. From the first meeting at the airport, he won over with his responsiveness and hospitality. He explained everything in detail (so there were no questions left) and seated all the tourists on the bus without fuss. On the way to the hotel (about 2 hours) he told the History of Sri Lanka, all the customs and way of life that the road seemed short. During the stay, he was constantly interested in the needs of the guests. Helped with the contact of the Hotel Management, forwarding the wishes of the guests. Thanks to Chamith (Jamal is a name for ease of remembering) we had no difficulties in communication and all our desires were fulfilled very quickly. Many thanks to Chamith Shantha, our vacation was great.

Amazing best vacation. From being picked up at the airport to being returned two weeks later the holiday was perfect. Our driver Felix was the best you could wish for, safe, on time, everything could not have been done more, the hotels were very good, the trips were perfect for us, we had no problems at any time, we would recommend this company and driver to anyone who go on vacation there

Brilliant Central Highlands + Sirigiya Tour. My parents, husband and I booked a private tour with Aitken Spence to travel to Sirigiya and the Central Highlands for a 5 day 6 night trip and we couldn't be more pleased. From start to finish the whole tour was very well organized thanks to a great organizer and great driver-guide Kusum who was very helpful and approachable throughout the trip. He was also very knowledgeable about Sri Lanka and was able to answer almost every question we asked him about the country! He was also, most importantly, a very safe driver who was highly skilled at driving (a useful skill when navigating the narrow roads of the central highlands). Aitken Spence also booked us in on some of the most amazing hotels we've ever stayed at. The lake views and amazing room upgrade at Heritance Kandalama was particularly memorable. The service and atmosphere at the Heritance Tea Factory, located inside a tea plantation, was also unforgettable. 98 Acres, facing Little Adam's Peak, gave us a wonderful sunrise and star gazing opportunity. Overall a great experience and I highly recommend it.

From the moment Sam picked us up from the airport, nothing was too much trouble for him. if he could make your stay better he would. He offered advice and local knowledge but was never over the top. As a guide he was familiar with and had a real passion for his country. The weather was bad in the south of the country for our first week, so Aitken Spence changed our itinerary so we went northeast first and south the second week, meaning we missed the rain. How many companies would do that? I recommend this company and Sam.

It was definitely a trip to remember, your professionalism exceeded all standards and expectations! Our tour guide/driver Namla managed to make our trip exceptional, he was full of knowledge, very attentive and respectful. Be sure to ask for Namal as you plan your trip!

I traveled around Sri Lanka with Harold Samaraweera, my guide and driver, and he was wonderful! Harold is very experienced, courteous and takes very good care of you. I have visited many beautiful places and have seen elephants and even a leopard. The hotels were excellent and every morning Harold was already waiting with his car to pick me up for a day of culture, nature and good food. Thank you Harold for your attention, it felt like family and I hope to return next year! !
