    I had a great time at the tour and felt like it was an amazing way to get to know Sri Lanka in only twelve days. Our guide Rihas was very kind, funny, organized and caring. He was always open for questions of any kind and made sure to give us lots of information — whether about the itinerary our stops, or local restaurants and activities. I felt very safe and comfortable in our group at all times. For me it was a great mixture of adventure and a relaxing holiday (although the beginning of the tour is more fast-paced) and I enjoyed having a fixed itinerary and not having plan by myself, as it was a very efficient way to get to know beautiful Sri Lanka.

    The trip was absolutely fantastic! Our guide, Rihas, went above and beyond to ensure we had an unforgettable experience. The trip offered a perfect mix of activities, from hiking to relaxing on the beach, safari and jungle, and provided ample opportunities to immerse ourselves in the local culture. Our group was fantastic, and Rihas and the crew took exceptional care of us throughout the journey. The balance of adventure and cultural exposure made this trip truly outstanding. Further Sri Lanka is a nice country with many options and friendly locals, warmly welcoming you. I highly recommend it and would definitely book again.

    The trip could not have been better. Amazing wildlife, beautiful scenery and great food. Our guide Rhias was amazing, he went to so much effort to make sure effort to make sure everyone was happy and enjoying their holiday. From putting his head out in the rain to get photos for us on the train, to messaging me when my flight which was delayed arrived to ensure I got my transfer to the accommodation at 4am in the morning, to helping us organise an additional safari. He went above and beyond to make sure every guest had the best time on Sri Lanka. And we did! Sanjay the assistant was also always happy and helpful as was the driver Sandew. Highlights for me were the safaris, the sunset hike, the cooking class and the train. The group were a lot of fun and very welcoming. Thank you Rhias, Sanjay, Sandew and my fellow travellers for a great trip.
