    The tour experience was truly outstanding, largely due to the exceptional skills of our tour guide, Ruwan. Without a doubt, he was simply brilliant and we couldn't have asked for a better guide. The itinerary was meticulously planned and provided a wonderful balance of activities and sightseeing. The hotels selected for our stay were of the highest quality, offering luxurious accommodations that exceeded our expectations. The spaciousness of the bus made for a comfortable journey, and the driver was a true professional. The only downside we encountered was the hotels' locations in non-touristy areas, which prevented us from exploring the local nightlife and forced us to dine exclusively within the hotels.

    The trip was well-planned and well-conducted. The tour guide was knowledgeable and pleasant, keeping all on track without being officious or demanding. The hotels were appropriate to the standard of the tour and the organisation of things like baggage handling and room check-in was first class. The itinerary was interesting and covered many aspects of Sri Lankan life, geography and culture. It would have been nice to spend a little more time in Galle which had a wonderful atmosphere and was full of historic buildings and museums.

    Guide made the trip very enjoyable and interesting. Would have prefered a few more cultural activities like visiting a pottery making place or batik factory. Hotels were for the most part very comfortable . Would have preferred if a few were closer to town.

    I loved the whole trip but my favourite experiences were Climbing Sigiriya Rock, seeing elephants on a game drive in Kaudulla National Park, cycling through villages in Giritale and having lunch with a local family and white water rafting in Kitulgala.

    This tour was excellent, the tour guide Ruwan was brilliant and couldn’t fault him. The itinerary was great and hotels excellent. The bus was very spacious and driver excellent also. The only negative I have is that the hotels tended to be in non tourist areas so we were unable to go out in the evenings and ate in the hotels.

    I have to agree with Bettina's review of Discover Sri Lanka tour. Missed activities, poor quality hotels, very bustling experiences, no successful attempts to avoid overtly crowded activities and sites. In my case our guide had insufficient knowledge or English to explain any of the sites visited, did not plan our activities in advance with the consequence that several key aspects of the trip were unavailable. There were several occasions where we were dropped at hotels at lunch time with limited lunch and dinner options. Exodus said they would answer my complaint to them within 4 weeks but 8 weeks later have not. From the extremely positive reviews of other tours it seems obvious to me that Discover Sri Lanka was a below par experience. As a first timer with Exodus it would be difficult to trust them again given their total lack of response. I emulated the premium tour on a private basis (as it was full) so the cost was considerable but as I say, extremely disappointing.
