Our amazing 14 day trip across Sri Lanka with Malin and his Travel Tales Lanka - When you want experience Sri Lanka, there is no better way! We had trip with together with my girlfriend Monika across whole middle and souther of the island. As we are not much experienced with the island, we took a guided tour by Travel Tales Lanka and it was excellence experience. We have visited so many places we wanted and so many places which was recommended to us. Our guide, Malin, was well experienced and also perfect driver. I would definitely recommend to take a guide, because you will learn and experience for yourself much more, than if you go alone. Our trip together started at Colombo, then we vent to Dambulla (Sigiriya), then we vent to Kandy, Nuwara Eliya, Ella, Kataragama, Weligama, Unawatuna and then Back to Colombo. We visited so many beautiful ancient sights, temples, nice tea yards and tea factories, botanical and spicy gardens, local foods and drinks, safari beaches and many many more... We enjoyed that so much, it was hard to be back home, we miss the time together there as we all together with our guide Malin became friends during this unforgettable experience.
