    This was by far the worst experience my wife and I had with an organized tour. Travel Talk hired an unlicensed guide/tour leader, which was a violation of Sri Lankan law and a breach of their contractual commitment to us. The guide had no knowledge of the country or even the tour itinerary. He consistently misled us, deceived us, and ultimately abandoned us halfway during our excursion. Moreover, we were burdened with unexpected expenses like paying for guides (which was supposed to be included in the tour package), we experienced a downgrade in one of our accommodations, and had our itinerary altered, resulting in the omission of several planned destinations and attractions. Travel Talk refused to acknowledge its responsibility and offered a symbolic sum of $250 for the "disappointment and inconvenience" we suffered.
