Honeymoon tour of Sri Lanka - Amilla was exceptional. He made our trip amazing. He is knowledgeable, friendly and very professional. We booked the private tour for 7 days for our honeymoon and we 100% would recommend this tour as a great way to see Sri Lanka. The journey was very comfortable and we got to see many things. Climbing Sigiriya rock and the safaris spotting elephants and leopards were particular highlights. We also really appreciated Amilla being so thoughtful and introducing us to local fruits and foods, he always had good recommendations and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to friends.

Great 9 day tour of Sri Lanka - It was a great tour with all the popular sightseeing spots. Our driver and guide Asanka was great. A very safe driver given the typical traffic in Sri Lanka which is very challenging. He was very accommodating and helpful. Best experience were the National parks and a local cooking experience.

Lanka chill - Sri Lanka has a lot to offer and to see the most of it in short time it’s good to chose good guide. We were safely passing tens of miles seeing different animals smelling different spices. Catching the sun but in the great comfort of nicely air conditioned car. Our driver - Indra was a great driver and organiser of all or our visits. At all venues and adventures we were well looked after. Thank you so much!

Highly recommend to get a sense of what Sri Lanka has to offer - We enjoyed our tour across Sri Lanka with our driver Ranga. Ranga was happy, accommodating, prompt and knowledgable. The tour itself was packed full of activities and we covered several main attractions in a week-long cross island tour. We didn’t feel rushed and had time to explore everything that we wanted to. Beauty Lanka made our trip easy by booking all our hotels for the trip as well as organising breakfast and dinner to ensure we were well fed after a long day. Ranga took us to places to ensure we got the best of it - sigiriya rock just after sunrise, drop off and pick ups so we could go from Nuwara Eliya to Ella via train and took us to a cultural dance even though this was later in the evening. I would throughly recommend Beauty Lanka tours should you want to visit Sri Lanka.

An amazing 8 days with a great guide! - We took this trip with our driver Indra and it was amazing. We saw so much in 8 days and felt like we really got a feel for Sri Lanka - the mountains, the jungle, the beach, the people, the food, the culture, the animals, everything! Sri Lanka is beautiful and I’m really glad we came. Indra really made things easy for us. He’s a great driver and had great recommendations for us. He was also flexible when we wanted to adjust the itinerary a bit. I would highly recommend this itinerary and Indra as a guide / driver. Thank you Beauty Lanka Travels for a great trip!

One week in the beautiful Sri Lanka - My week in Sri Lanka was one of the best journeys I have had in my life! Niran was an amazing driver and a better tourist guide. I definitely recommend everyone hiring them for preparing your travel!

An one week tour of Sri Lankas best places to visit - Nice itinerary with a variety of activities. The guide/ driver plus all the other guides involved (safari, whale watching and other activities) were really nice, pleasant and helpful). Breakfast included was good and accommodation was clean with Aircon. Swimming pools were well maintained in all hotels apart fro the last one by mirissa beach

Solo female traveller 5-star nature and animal experience ✨ - As a solo female traveller, this tour was the best decision and an unforgettable lifetime experience. Mahesh guided me through this beautiful country in seven days where I stayed in various pool resorts with stunning country/river/beach views. I planned very little prior to my visit, but all was catered to my preferences covering every activity at a leisurely pace. I saw many wildlife animals including elephants on safaris, roadside buffalos, monkeys in gorgeous temples, ghekkos on walls, iguanas hiding in the traditional dutch fortress, turtles in hatcheries, cameleons on hikes, snakes in the farm (held python around my neck), as well as dolphins and whales (if I wasn’t so seasick) 🫢 The botanical gardens were full of colour, not to mention the breathtaking views from the train to Ella. Visits to the blue sapphire gem mining museum and tea plantation factory were too memorable for me not to buy souvenirs 🥹. Sri Lankan cooking class after a relaxing boat paddle is a must. There’s still much more to do for next time - see a traditional Kandyan dance, surf along the east-coast beaches and another safari for snow-leopards. Thank you Mahesh for making this such a special time, even waking up at 4am for a sunrise hike! See you again - I will recommend you to all my friends and family 🌞

Sri Lanka Adventure! - My husband and I had wanted to go to Sri Lanka for a few years now and we were so excited to finally go! I was not prepared for how beautiful the views were! Sri Lanka has a little bit of anything you could want in a vacation: beautiful mountain landscapes, animal safaris (elephants and leopards!), beaches, tea plantations, and the most breath-taking train adventure. It is very suitable for families, couples, or solo adventures. Our guide Rajh was very punctual and knowledgeable. He helped us whenever we needed and was flexible with the schedule so we got the most catered experience possible. We highly recommend this tour agency, guide, and beautiful country for your next trip!

Awesome Driver i.e. Manuka - My wife and I stayed in Sri Lanka for 2 weeks. We went all over Sri Lanka, from top to bottom. Our driver’s name is Manuka, and he was brilliant throughout. He comes under a company called Beauty Lanka. 1. Good Points About The Driver a. Very patient, courteous and accommodating to our request. b. Safe driver and drives within the speed limit. c. Well behaved and well dressed d. He doesn’t take you to places where he gets a cut. He gives options for places, and always ask you to make your own decisions. e. Always on time everyday. f. The van is clean and water bottles for us is always ready on our seats everyday. g. Very attentive to our safety and always ensures were are OK. h. Watching us over like a personal body guard. i. Doesn’t demand for anything. 2. Bad Points a. Poor knowledge on Jaffna roads. b. Poor knowledge in Tamil. He can only speak Singhla. c. Doesn’t help us when negotiating with the street vendors, which I think it’s still OK. 3. Will I recommend this driver / this company to anyone? Yes
