    Every day of this tour was packed with adventure, culture, and history. Colombo was an excellent introduction to Sri Lanka guide there really gave us a good into its past. Yala National Park was amazing we got to see so many animals up close. The train ride to Kandy was unique and fun, providing amazing views of the countryside. Sigiriya and Polonnaruwa offered a glimpse into Sri Lankan ancient past, and our time at the Temple of the Tooth was good experience. Hotels were comfortable, and the guides and driver were always attentive. This tour is a great way to experience the full range of Sri Lanka.

    Sri Lanka exceeded all expectations. We saw elephants and even leopards, which was just amazing. The hotels were all very comfortable, and we had no complaints about the service. The trip through the tea plantations in Nuwara Eliya was amazing, and the train ride to Kandy was a memorable experience. Kandy itself was beautiful, with its history and culture, especially the Temple of the Tooth. Throughout the trip, our driver was wonderful, and the guides made the experience even better with their deep knowledge of Sri Lankan history and culture.

    My family and I just completed this 14-day Sri Lanka tour, and we’re still buzzing with excitement! Yala National Park was fantastic we were able to get up close to elephants and other wildlife. The train ride to Kandy was absolutely stunning. Sigiriya and Polonnaruwa were impressive historical sites. Every hotel was well appointed, and the food was ok. Our driver was so patient and accommodating, and our guides were friendly and knowledgeable. I’d recommend this trip to anyone looking to Sri Lanka.

    Our trip was perfectly arranged, covering so many destinations of Sri Lanka. From Colombo to the historical beauty of Galle, we experienced it all. Yala National Park was definitely a highlight, with the chance to see elephants, crocodiles, and even a leopard! The tea plantations and cool weather in Nuwara Eliya, and the scenic train ride to Kandy was one of the best parts of the entire trip. The hotel stays were comfortable. We were fortunate to have knowledgeable and friendly guides who shared so much about the country history. The driver was excellent, making sure we arrived safely and on time everywhere. This trip was everything we hoped.

    I had amazing experience in Sri Lanka! From the moment we arrived in Colombo, everything was seamlessly organized. The drive from Colombo to Galle was smooth. In Galle, the colonial charm great history made for a fantastic exploration. The guides throughout the trip were knowledgeable, always eager to share insights into the culture and history of the places we visited. Yala National Park was an unforgettable highlight; seeing wildlife. The hotels were comfortable. The train journey to Kandy was particularly special, offering stunning views of the countryside. This tour was a beautiful adventure to enjoy nature, culture, and history.
