A great week in Sri Lanka - The itinerary was perfect for 8 days in Sri Lanka and it felt like good value for money. Amila was a brilliant driver, very attentive, accommodating and friendly. We researched a few restaurants in some of the places we were visiting/on the route and he was happy to take us to those, as well as sharing some of his own recommendations. We always felt very safe with him.

Fantastic Experience! - The trip was excellent! Shayla is a very kind and accommodating guide. He is punctual at each stop and ensures you get to see all the beautiful highlights of the country. He also showed me some of the best local Sri Lankan foods, which were all delicious! Travelling solo, I especially enjoyed having plenty of free time in each place I visited. I hope to return someday and have Shayla as my guide again!

Perfect Blend of Adventure and Relaxation - From the moment we were picked up at the airport, the 8 Days Sri Lanka round tour felt perfectly organized. The private driver was friendly, flexible, and an excellent guide who tailored the itinerary to suit our interests. We explored stunning locations like Sigiriya, Ella, and Yala National Park while also having time to unwind at some serene accommodations. The meals provided through the half-board plan were delicious, with a great balance of traditional Sri Lankan dishes and international options. This tour gave us the perfect mix of adventure, relaxation, and cultural immersion. We can't wait to return to Sri Lanka!

Having a private driver made all the difference—our driver was not only punctual and professional but also incredibly knowledgeable about Sri Lanka’s history, culture, and hidden gems. The vehicle was clean, spacious, and air-conditioned, ensuring a comfortable journey throughout. Every stop was well-planned, and the half-board accommodations were top-notch, offering a great mix of local flavors and comfort. This trip allowed us to relax and fully enjoy the beauty of Sri Lanka without worrying about logistics. Highly recommend this package for anyone looking for a hassle-free adventure!

Don't be afraid of tours if it's your first time and you're young(ish) - I had a wonderful time with beauty Lanka tour. As most other commenters said, the driver makes the trip special, and in our case that was prabash :). He was young so it felt easier to vibe with him, and he was profesional, on time, a very good driver overall for someone who usually suffers from carsickness. He also was so kind in taking care of my upset stomach with a cure that is better than anything I've had before ! I will say it was a bit difficult to get timely answers from the head office, which got me stressed but with the help of prabash I always got an answer right on time (for your adjustments etc). Otherwise, the hotels from the economy package were so cool. We always had a nice view. The first hotel pahana village was particularly nice as it was small and the staff was extra careful. The hotel in Kandy was subpar, with the toilet smelling so that wasn't great.

First tour, will do more! - It was my first tour and I really liked it! We were able to discover a part of Sri Lanka during one week and enjoy the beach at the end. The hotel were really nice, the ones in the mountain had an amazing view! We took only the economic package and the amenities were always good. The visits and the safari were amazing, we were lucky to see elephants and even some just a few meters away from us. Prabash, our driver, was awesome. He was driving smoothly, usually my wife is sick in car and with him it was okay, even in the mountain roads. He was always available if we wanted to go somewhere and helped us find what we needed (shops, bookstore, grocery,...).

Great first introduction to Sri Lanka!! - Had a great 7 night tour with Indra! Great guide and we all had a laugh. Really good driver, and hard to impress my partner, as he is a professional tour driver! The places we went to gave us a real whistle stop tour of Sri Lanka. We saw so much! We upgraded the hotels to 3 and 4 star and glad we did that. Tour was still reasonable. The only advice I can give on traveling Sri Lanka is don't feel obliged to buy stuff!! Once I got that in my mind, I enjoyed visiting the factories and workshops better and was more confident in saying no thanks!. Always left a few hundred rupees for their time (it's £2.50 ish!) A lot of the places are geared up for tourists and we had little issues. We will definitely be back to try the North and East 😄

Best Tour Experience in Sri Lanka! - We couldn’t have asked for a better way to explore Sri Lanka than with this 8-day private tour. The itinerary was thoughtfully curated, allowing us to experience the perfect mix of adventure, culture, and relaxation. The private driver was incredibly professional, always ensuring our comfort and safety. The vehicle was spotless and well-equipped for long journeys. The H/B accommodations were excellent, with top-notch facilities and delicious meals. We loved visiting places like Dambulla, Nuwara Eliya, and the southern beaches. Highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Sri Lanka!

Splendour of Sri Lanka - Wasi the driver was excellent and helpful with good knowledge as a guide. The hotels were not so good - we had a problem either with hot water or with wifi at each place - but they met our basic needs.
