Back in 1989, two guys from Melbourne, Australia by the names of Darrell and Manch set off on an adventure to the other side of the world. They travelled to Africa and without air conditioning on their modified truck, they filled it with supplies, some beer, a bunch of aviator sunglasses, and...

    The trips offered by the company are different and have more to do with the kind of experience that I seek.

    Irosha, the tour leader was excellent.She planned every event in advance and never had us to wait at entrances to venues etc.When we had to board the train at Kandy she had the train tickets bought in advance for us to board immediately.Other groups had to stand in long queus waiting for their tickets. When checking in at the hotels she personally checked at each person's room to see whether everything is ok.Although she was very ill we never knew how serious it was - she just delivered her good service. Her knowledge of the country is excellent - she is such a good ambassader for the country and such a loyal employee to the company.

    I especially loved the experiences of being able to cook local food with the families and getting a read insight on how to prepare the food, learning about the ingredients. Apart from that, our tour guide, Irosha Nanayakkara, was the absolute best in every way possible.

    The tour was really well organised with plenty of variety and not rushed. I would particularly like to commend the tour guide, Upul Hemantha, who was professional, extremely knowledgeable and very helpful to me and my daughter. He blended information about locations, flora and fauna with history in an interesting manner. He promptly and efficiently dealt with all parts of the tour. It was my daughter’s bityhday on the tour and he made it a very special day for her which we greatly appreciated.

    The trip was very well organised and all staff took very good care of us (including drivers and tour guide). We had great travel companions with a great vibe in the group. The trip enabled us to see and experience Sri Lanka to the fullest extent possible in a relatively short time and we really enjoyed meeting all the different families and visit their homes to cook and eat with them throughout the trip. The itinerary was very dense and we would have liked to have a little bit more time to explore on our own. Further, we didn't feel that we were always well informed about what was going to happen on the day ahead and e.g. travel times to get from A to B weren't always clearly communicated. Selected activities (e.g. train journey) and some accommodations (e.g. hotel in Dambulla, in Mirissa and in Colombo) didn't fully met expectations.
