Had the most amazing experience with my first solo trip with Intro. Everything was so well organised, accommodation was great and it was the experience of a lifetime. My group leader Dan Harris incredibly enhanced my experience. He was welcoming, the perfect mix of fun and professional and answered every possible question I had. If you get Dan on your trip, youre in for an amazing time! Thanks again Intro!

My husband and I just completed our Sri Lanka tour and it was fabulous!

Lahiru was fantastic to work with! He was incredibly responsive and provided us with the trip of a lifetime in Sri Lanka. We enjoyed the extra experiences that were so unique and felt like we truly experienced the best of Sri Lanka, even though we were only there for a week. We always appreciate trips that inspire us to return! Without a doubt, we would gladly choose this tour operator again in the future!

Outstanding trip and itinerary.

Our experience with this travel specialist was nothing short of exceptional. The owner, Lahiru, helped us make a detailed plan for our stay. As first-time visitors to the country, we had a rough idea of what we wanted to do, and Lahiru helped us get the most out of our trip. We wanted to experience as much of the food, culture, history, and wildlife of Sri Lanka as possible, and we ended up staying in seven different places and using a variety of transportation modes including car, train, Tuktuk, and a 4x4 safari jeep. Every stage of our tour was completed without a hitch thanks to Our Personal Driver Asanka who were always on time - or early - to pick us up and drop us off. All of the guides at the UNESCO sites spoke fluent English, were highly knowledgeable, and were pleasant company to be with. The accommodations and restaurants that Lahiru recommended were exactly what we were looking for. The hotels were comfortable and in great locations, while the restaurants were always of high quality and had friendly and helpful staff. Lahiru was easily accessible throughout the trip in case we needed anything, In the end, everything went so smoothly that we never needed to contact Lahiru during the trip. The experience of working with Lahiru and his staff was delightful, and we highly recommend this agency to anyone looking for a well-organized and stress-free tour of Sri Lanka. Thank you to Lahiru for kind help and expert guidance throughout our trip.

Go to Sri Lanka - Just Go!

Sri Lanka is an incredible country to visit, with its warm and welcoming people and rich cultural heritage. Our recent tour with this local travel specialist was exceptional in every way, from the well-planned itinerary to the well-executed arrangements. The accommodations were comfortable and exceeded our expectations. Our driver/guide Asanka was friendly, knowledgeable, and always ready to lend a hand. The car we traveled in was very comfortable, making long drives a breeze. The itinerary was perfect for us, taking in all the top sights in Sri Lanka while still maintaining a comfortable pace. Our favorite experiences were the cooking class in Kandy, which gave us a chance to learn about the local cuisine, and the safari in Wilpattu National Park. We were lucky enough to spot three leopards, which was a highlight of the trip. Overall, we highly recommend this agency to anyone planning a trip to Sri Lanka. They truly exceeded our expectations and made our vacation unforgettable.

It was Fabulous!!

Our tour of Sri Lanka was impeccably organized and executed flawlessly from start to finish. Asanka, our driver guide, deserves special recognition for his exceptional knowledge of Sri Lankan history, as well as his friendly, helpful, and caring demeanor. He ensured that we had ample time to visit all the top tourist destinations, provided valuable advice on what to buy and what to avoid, and took us to some excellent restaurants. Additionally, he made sure we had sufficient downtime to relax and enjoy the amenities of our hotel. The wilpattu national park safari and train journey from kandy to ella were both thrilling and authentic experiences that we thoroughly enjoyed. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to make the most of their two weeks in stunning Sri Lanka.
