Sri Lanka Tours in May 2027

We had two leaders - one in Sri Lanka and one on the boat. The Sri Lanka trip was fabulous - the tour leader was passionate thoughtful incredibly knowledgeable about his country and culture. The tour leader on the boat was also incredible. We love snorkelling so this part of the trip was awesome - we snorkelled for about 3 hrs every day. It is called a cruise - we went to two islands/atolls briefly but in reality it is an incredible opportunity to snorkel with expert guides. The food on the boat was incredible and the company - guests and staff was fabulous. It was the trip of a lifetime. please contact me if you want any more photos

The Pekoe Trail offers wonderful walking through these historic tea plantations and because it is relatively newly opened up we often had the whole trail to ourselves. As a solo traveller, I was so lucky to be part of a large, energetic and hugely fun group of people. We enjoyed a mix of authentic rural life and a taste of some of the old colonial buildings from the past. Accommodation ranged from simple homestays to historic hotels.

Anjana was an excellent Tour Leader and made our experience of Sri Lanka a very memorable and enjoyable one. I only have two items of feedback. Be prepared to walk in bare feet/socks once you enter the grounds of a temple; not at the actual door, as you'd expect. This means you could be walking on hot stones, pathways, gravel, sand, dirt and for some time. Take socks that you are prepared to sacrifice at the end of the holiday! If you have problems with your feet, then this holiday may not be for you. In Dalhousie, Adam's Peak location, the hotel is on 4 x floors and the rooms with the view are located away from the main building and up 262 steps - and that is not just 'a series of steps' (per the Trip Notes) - that's a lot! The porters will take your luggage, but you have to walk up/down yourself. If you have bad knees or hips, you may want to consider a room in the main building. (But you still have to get up at least 2 x floors.) Thoroughly recommend this holiday. It was my favourite EXPLORE tour so far!

Overall I had a great time on this trip! I got to experience a lot in both India and Sri Lanka and appreciated my time spent in this area of the world!

Ich bin mit INTRO durch Sri Lanka gereist. (11 Nchte). Meine anfngliche Skepsis eine Gruppenreise zu machen ist sehr schnell verflogen. Die Gruppengre (max. 16 in Sri Lanka) ist genau richtig. Man trifft Gleichgesinnte Menschen und das Programm ist bunt durchmischt. Intro bedient meiner Einschtzung nach die L¼cke zwischen low cost Gruppenreisen und den betagteren Gruppenreisen. Unterk¼nfte und Transportmittel waren in der Regel obere Mittelklasse und somit genau richtig f¼r meine Anspr¼che. Man bekommt einen sehr guten Eindruck von dem was das wunderschne Land zu bieten hat, wenn man durch die unterschiedlichsten Hotspots gef¼hrt wird. Intro versucht zunehmend nachhaltig zu werden und unterst¼tzt die regionalen Betriebe. Alles ist bestens organisiert und wenn Ihr das Gl¼ck haben solltet Penny als euren Guide zu erwischen, dann seid euch einem hchst professionellen und uerst engagierten Service gewiss. #do it Pennywise

Geweldige trip door Sri Lanka gehad met de meest behulpzame reisleidster (Penn). Fijn dat alles geregeld is en je nergens overna hoeft te denken. Enorm genoten!! Nu al aan het kijken voor de volgende trip met Intro :)
