Top Travel Deals in Sri Lanka

Itinerary was great and this was the main reason we chose this trip and Sri Lanka has fantastic sites and culture to experience - unfortunately we counted on having an appropriate guide and tour director who could assist with making the most of the experience - unfortunately our guide was not fluent in English, could not answer questions or explain the sites, culture and history in any meaningful way and we were forced to communicate critical aspects of the itinerary with him on whatsap, initiated by us not the tour director - the worst tour director I have had in nearly 45 years of travel and over 50 tours

Awesome tour of the main sites of Sri Lanka through the eyes of cycling the backroads. Definitely recommend this trip. Wonderful insight into the country, people, food, smells and sounds. And a special mention to the tremendous guide Ashan and his support team of cycle guides and drivers. Professional and enthusiastically helpful at all times. 10 out of 10 from me.

Cham was an excellent guide, with a great knowledge of history, culture and nature. The activities were all very good, particularly the white water rafting. A couple of quite long days though

This really is a full and active trip. Cycling gave an ‘up close’ experience and the water based activities were all great fun. The food in the local places that we ate was superb although the food in the larger hotels was less interesting. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and as a female travelling alone I felt completely safe throughout. I’ve come home feeling that I have experienced Sri Lanka at its best and the people are so friendly and welcoming. Early mornings, long days and activity were central to this ‘holiday’ but if you’re up for that then you’ll have a fabulous time.

The Sri Lanka cycling tour was incredible. I’ve travelled to many countries and enjoyed them. To immerse myself in this particular country, courtesy of Explore, cycling amongst lush countryside, with friendly people and tasty food, was an exhilarating experience. I would recommend it to anyone. We cycled 480kms. The tour group was friendly and a great team to be with. Just one recommendation: upgrade the bikes.

We arrived in Columbo to rain to be met by our smiling guide for the trip who introduced himself as Suresh. From there on, everyday was different, due to the time of year the weather was a little chilly in the hills but improved greatly as we descended to the lower levels. Suresh was amazing and everyday, he showed us something different and made sure our holiday experience was amazing. Suresh's ability to spot wildlife on our cycling trips was unbelievable, almost as if he had planted the wildlife!!. I have taken some amazing photographs from the holiday and Suresh has provided us with his amazing photographs also. Suresh always seemed to go out of his way to make our holiday experience better and better, he is a star. The whole team was incredible, nothing was too much trouble and they were always looking out for our best interests, including keeping us safe. Best Exodus cycling trip yet, amazing wildlife, amazing Sri Lankan experiences, amazing leader, amazing team.
