Feedback from guests who toured Sri Lanka during January.
Tina | Traveled in January
Sri Lanka is a beautiful and vibrant island, with stunning landscapes and a rich cultural heritage. The tour was incredible and so were the experiences. George the tour guide was absolutely amazing. Nothing was ever too much trouble for him. He is outstanding at his job. He is a warm person who put everyone at ease and he had a wonderful way of making each person feel genuinely special. The heart felt poem he shared was the perfect finishing touch, leaving us all with memories we will treasure.
Matt | Traveled in January
This trip is a great introduction to Sri Lanka, covering wildlife, culture, food, heritage, walking and beach locations. Our local guide was excellent at enhancing our experiences and took time to support local small businesses recovering from the effects of Cyclone Ditwah on the country. Everyone we met on our travels was friendly and pleased to see us, tourists are very welcome and immigration was very quick and smooth with no questions about why we wanted to visit. Overall, an excellent trip with lots of experiences packed in. Highly recommended!
Anonymous | Traveled in January
A relatively undemanding tour, mainly by bus, of most of Sri Lanka's highlights ranging from amazing Buddhist images and the fascinating remains of a former capital to tremendous short hikes, a bike ride, a beautiful seaside hotel, wildlife safaris and visits to rural homes. The hotels were good or excellent and the mainly local food was very good with good non-local alternatives.
Linda C | Traveled in January
This was my first G adventure holiday but it will not be my last. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time in Sri Lanka and am already thinking about where to go next!
Daniel S | Traveled in January
The Maldives were lush and diverse and there is a lot to see. The itinerary was excellent and Udi was personable and professional. The Maldives was equally excellent. The snorkeling trips up to 3 per day, were gorgeous. The Dhoni boat was easy, comfy and air conditioned. The CEO was outstanding and a skilled snorkel guide. Captain and crew were friendly and skilled at their jobs, worked as a team eager to please. Meals were delicious, really good.
Annabelle B. | Traveled in January
The accommodations provided by CharlieTheTraveler were remarkable. Typically, traveling overseas is stressful and I am on high alert at all times, meaning I never really relax on a vacation that is meant to be relaxing. However, I felt safe while on this trip due to the tour guide being very familiar with the area and the first class accommodations that were included.
