  We enjoyed the tour tremendously! Our guide/driver Supun Dilshan was excellent, his ability to gauge our needs and preferences led to him giving us helpful advice on the itinerary. He was a very friendly and professional companion/guide. The accommodations were generally good and comfortable. Two hotels stood out as great: (1) Sigiriya Village: The room was great, so was the setting and the friendly and professional staff including the kitchen and food; (2) Billin Tree House in Galle: again the room and the peaceful lush setting were excellent, so was the service by the friendly staff. One accommodation fell a bit short: Hotel Onrock Ella: The room was small and totally inadequately furnished with unhelpful pieces like a half filled beanbag, leaving no comfortable seating or table except on the outside verandah which was not good to sit on as it was raining and cold. Also the bathroom was in poor repair with the shower set not firmly attached to the wall and hard to use. This was the only accommodation we did not enjoy at all. The only redemption was the kitchen and food, which was good. We enjoyed all the excursions of the itinerary, in particular the village visit in Sigiriya and the two wildlife safaris. Altogether a very enjoyable holiday.

  I really enjoyed this tour. It was paced well over the 2 weeks so that some rest was intermixed with the hiking. We got to see natural beauty, experience culture and witness wild animals in the national parks. The hotels on this tour are very nice. Sometimes they are a bit outside of the towns and in these cases diner is provided by the hotel. The highlights for me were Sigiriya , lunch with the rice farmers, Horton planes hiking, and the beaches at unawatuna. I think this tour gives you a very good survey of the country. Our driver was very punctual , professional and most importantly safe on sometimes chaotic roads. It is important on this trip to read up on the places you are visiting because the driver is not a guide. A guide is provided at Anuradhapura. Some of the excursions are additional cost outside of the trip which is a benefit as you may elect to bypass any location that does not interest you. I bypassed the stilt fishermen as they were all actors. I do recommend this trip and I am very glad that I took it. Asky checked in periodically to ensure everything was going well and it was, Thank you Asky

  The tour was exceptional. It was very competitively priced and provided excellent value for money.It combined an ideal blend of activities from culture, walking/hiking, safaris and relaxation time.It highlighted the diverse qualities of Sri Lanka covering almost everything that a visitor to the country could hope to experience in a relaxed and unrushed way.All the hotels were of a high/very high quality and exceeded expectations- lovely locations,facilities and food. Sanjaka was a perfect tour guide. He was friendly,well organised,extremely knowledgeable and could not do enough to ensure that the group had a memorable time.I will be recommending ASY. Tours to all my family and friends,especially as it is a Sri Lankan company with great local knowledge and expertise that would be difficult to improve upon.

  The trip covered a good portion of Sri Lanka in two weeks. It had an excellent mix of history and culture, national parks, wildlife, hikes and coastline. The hotels were excellent overall. Our driver was exceptional. It would, however, have been good to have a guide throughout the trip, as well as more exact details on the original trip outline/itinerary as to extra costs that would be incurred along the way.

  This tour went to all the right places but the lack of a tour guide really impeded our understanding of what we were seeing and Sri Lankan culture in general. The "Tour Leader" they gave us was really only a driver who, while being very nice, provided very little leadership, guidance and cultural insights during our time. While we enjoyed our trip, it was rather in spite of the organisation of ASY tours instead of because of it. My advice, get a tour operator that will provide you with a licensed tour guide and pay a little more (or I suspect your will get one at a similar price).

  Our recent trip to Sri Lanka was absolutely amazing thanks to the ASY Tours! At very short notice they organised a 14 day itinerary for us which was a perfect blend of adventure, relaxation and culture. From the moment we arrived, to our final departure, everything was perfect. Our guide and driver Sanjaka was fantastic. He immediately made us feel very welcome and over the next 14 days became a great friend. We climbed rocks and mountains, explored ancient temples, enjoyed a scenic train ride, went on two thrilling safaris, explored cities and lazed by beach. Sanjaka was proud to share his country with us and his insights and stories made each site more meaningful and memorable - every single day was varied and amazing with his attention to detail and genuine care for our experience making all the difference. We returned home with beautiful memories and a deep appreciation for the beauty and hospitality of Sri Lanka. We highly recommend ASY tours to anyone looking to explore this amazing destination. Thank you also for the lovely gifts on our departure – definitely memories to cherish!
