    As no additional people had registered for this trip, there were two of us and we were able to make slight changes to the program. We received a friendly welcome on the first day so that we could set off on our adventure. The driver was very courteous and helped us with the language and translating, showed us nice local restaurants and stopped at the roadside so that we could taste the fruit and water buffalo yoghurt. Thanks to him, we got a little insight into the lives of the locals. The trip was very well organized, the hotels were all in beautiful locations and the food was delicious. As I had booked the trip with a friend and had therefore each booked a double room with single beds, we were surprised that we had to sleep in the same bed for a few nights (the narrowest was 140 cm wide). Unfortunately, there were also "sales events" such as the gemstone factory and subsequent dance event or the one with the oils. It would have been better not to include these in the program. Instead, the tea plantation was a little more extensive, as there was only a short tour (15 minutes) in the hope of selling a lot of tea. All in all, however, it was a very impressive trip with lots of great experiences and we certainly haven't been to Thailand for the last time.

    I had an amazing time touring Sri Lanka with Nima as our guide. He had a wealth of knowledge and was always enthusiastic, making every stop unforgettable. Nima expertly navigated us through ancient ruins and lush jungles, ensuring that every moment was full of discovery. The tour service was impeccable, and I highly recommend it for anyone looking for an exceptional adventure in Sri Lanka.

    I want to express my sincere appreciation to the Capital Lanka Tours team for their exceptional service in planning and executing our February 2024 Sri Lanka trip. The team tirelessly assisted us in crafting a memorable 10-day itinerary filled with adventure and sightseeing. From the moment we landed at Colombo airport, we were met with traditional flower garlands and a warm welcome—a gesture that set the tone for the rest of our journey. Their efficient planning, prompt bookings, and personalized recommendations ensured that every aspect of our trip was flawless. They arranged for Janaka to be our coach driver and guide, and his expertise behind the wheel and in guiding us through Sri Lanka's wonders was truly remarkable. His polite demeanor, helpful nature, and safe driving skills made our journey even more enjoyable. Throughout our stay in Dambulla, Kandy, Nuwara Eliya, Yala, Mirissa, and Colombo, the accommodations recommended surpassed our expectations. Additionally, they arranged complimentary activities such as a Madu River boat ride and a relaxing fish spa, adding extra value to our experience. Thanks to the meticulous planning and impeccable execution by the Capital Lanka Tours team, our Sri Lanka trip was filled with unforgettable memories. From the stunning landscapes to the rich cultural experiences, every moment was truly magical.

    Our experience with Capital Lanka Tours, led by the knowledgeable and friendly guide Janaka, was absolutely phenomenal. From the moment we stepped off the plane, Janaka's warm welcome and expertise set the tone for an unforgettable journey. He skillfully navigated us through the vibrant streets of Sri Lanka, unveiling hidden gems and sharing fascinating insights into the culture and history of the country. Every aspect of our trip, from the breathtaking scenic views to the mouthwatering local cuisine, was meticulously curated by Janaka and the Capital Lanka Tours team. If you're looking for an immersive and memorable travel experience, I highly recommend booking with Capital Lanka Tours and requesting Janaka as your guide.

    The journey through Sri Lanka, meticulously orchestrated by Capital Lanka Tours and my exceptional guide and driver, Janaka, was nothing short of extraordinary. The service provided by Capital Lanka Tours was exemplary, with prompt responses to inquiries and transparent quotes accurately reflecting all costs and inclusions. My itinerary was meticulously crafted to suit my interests, thanks to their keen attention to detail. Janaka, my guide, surpassed all expectations. His unparalleled expertise and professionalism set a new standard in travel companionship. Throughout the winding roads and bustling streets of Sri Lanka, Janaka navigated with precision and grace, ensuring every moment of our journey was seamless. His wealth of knowledge, patience, and punctuality made each day an unforgettable adventure. From iconic landmarks to hidden gems, Janaka's tailored recommendations unveiled the true essence of Sri Lanka, leaving me in awe at every turn. Whether traveling solo, with family, or in small groups, Janaka's guidance promises an unparalleled experience. He truly is the epitome of excellence in showcasing the magnificent wonders of Sri Lanka.

    After a sudden change in plans led me to travel solo, I decided to join a tour with Capital Lanka, and it was the best decision I made! Right from the beginning, the company was highly informative and responsive to emails, even arranging a hotel for me for the two nights before the tour and picking me up from the airport. Joined by two other solo travelers, we met our guide, Chinthaka. Throughout the tour, Chinthaka was incredibly attentive to our needs, going above and beyond to ensure we had the best experience. While the itinerary provided by Capital Lanka was packed with amazing activities, Chinthaka was flexible, accommodating extra stops or rearranging the schedule to suit our preferences. The safari experiences were definite highlights, with sightings of multiple elephants and even the rare leopard in Yala! For those seeking adventure, the white water rafting was thrilling, and the hike up Little Adams Peak in Ella offered breathtaking views. The hotels were all luxurious, with the Chaarya Resort and Spa standing out as my favorite, especially after our safari in Yala. Breakfast and dinner were included in all the hotels, while lunch was flexible, with our tour opting for authentic rice and curry at local restaurants over touristy buffets. Sri Lanka is undeniably beautiful, and the people are incredibly friendly. As a young, solo female traveler, I had some initial apprehensions, but I never once felt unsafe or hassled, unlike in other countries. I wholeheartedly recommend a trip to Sri Lanka, especially with Capital Lanka for the variety of experiences and the wonderful people you'll encounter along the way!

    The tour company delivered exceptional service from the initial email correspondence through to customizing the tour and finalizing payment. They were consistently prompt in responding to inquiries and thoroughly explained the tour and services. Capital Lanka exceeded our expectations. Our tour, a modified version of their Grand Tour, was tailored to our preferences for a private tour, extended safari days, and upscale accommodations. The pace of the tour was relaxed, which suited us perfectly, and this was all managed through clear communication. Our driver and guide, Udara, was exceptional. He prioritized our safety, ensuring a comfortable and clean vehicle stocked with fresh water. Udara's extensive knowledge of Sri Lanka enriched our experience, providing valuable insights and warnings at tourist sites. He offered flexibility in our daily itinerary, guiding us through each journey with expertise, whether on safari drives or train journeys. Udara's keen eye for wildlife and his attention to detail enhanced our exploration. Always punctual, friendly, and informative, Udara truly made our tour in Sri Lanka a positive and memorable experience. Overall, our holiday tour in Sri Lanka was outstanding.

    Sri Lanka is a beautiful Country with kind, warm, friendly people. It's very safe there and Sri Lankens are considerate of other people. I travelled in May, the weather was hot with humidity. The beaches are warm and great to walk or swim

    Great adventure, all the hotels were good and my driver Sasika was great. Adam’s peak is definitely worth the effort. My favourite town was Ella, could have stayed a bit longer there. I would recommend 👍
