    Our tour leader was really good and provided a lot of insight into Sri Lanka. It was only a short trip but Ajith ensured we got as much as possible out of the trip and saw as much of the country as we could.

    I believe your BASIC Simly Sri Lanka tour was lacking with good hotel choices and the bus was too small for 16 people including BUS staff, who didn't have a proper seat. Some warning has to be given as to how much luggage one should take.

    There wasn't enough free time available or time to do all the options, felt there was so much time wasted having to see 'a gem shop and temple of the tooth' etc that wasn't mandatory on the itinerary- so we missed out on seeing Kandy and could only fit in tea plantations (would have loved to have seen the town and botanical gardens etc)- must add an extra day for Kandy. Disappointed cooking class option that was on our itinerary wasn't on the local guides as well as free time through Galle after walking tour also wasn't available, otherwise we would have organised a visit there in the morning. Everyone would have loved to stay there for a night and one night at the elephant orphanage or attend cooking class and goto an actual elephant orphanage opposed to a safari.

    Hotels were unacceptable. In Kandy, I was bitten by bed bugs. Hotel was very dirty (room, bathroom, bed sheets and towels). I found evidences of bed bugs on the mattress. I have evidences confirming the above. It was also reported, but hotel manager was not surprised.

    The trip was organized well. Our guide nilanga did an amazing job in explaining about the thing to see, culture, food, and he was just always very helpful. The group was organized, we saw a lot in a short time.
