    Perfect for active travelers. Good mix of hiking and relaxing and optional activities. Tour guide (Sam) had great recommendations and was very knowledgeable and friendly! Wifi was spotty at some hotels, but never a big issue.

    Another amazing tour by One Life. The Sri Lanka tour offers the perfect mix of activities and the itinerary is so well thought out, allowing you to get the maximum out of the trip. The experience was made even more memorable by our exceptional tour guide, Sam. Sam was so passionate and knowledgable and it was evident how much he enjoys his job and sharing his wonderful Country with others. Sam was extremely organised and kept us well informed at every stage of the tour. Nothing felt like too much trouble and he was always on hand to help in any way he could. The tour experience was extremely relaxed and worry free and I feel this was down to Sam’s organisation and knowledge. What a fantastic introduction to Sri Lanka, definitely a place I would like to revisit. I would 100% recommend this tour to others. Thanks Sam and my amazing group for a truly memorable experience ❤️

    Our round trip through Sri Lanka was an unforgettable experience, thanks to the outstanding service we received. From the initial planning to the execution, everything was perfectly organized. The itinerary was carefully designed and offered a wonderful mix of culture, sports activities, fascinating sights, relaxing beach days, and culinary highlights – there was a bit of everything, allowing us to collect new impressions constantly. A particular highlight was our tour guide, whose warm personality and extensive knowledge made the journey a truly worry-free experience. He was always on hand to provide us with important information and helpful tips. We felt well taken care of at all times and can highly recommend this provider!

    The tour is absolutely recommendable! Sam, the tour guide, was always on hand if anyone in the group needed anything and he simply knew everything about his country. The group also worked really well together and we had an incredible 12 days in Sri Lanka. All in all, I wouldn't know what to improve! Many thanks to Sam for the great tour!

    The tour itinerary was fantastic, we saw so much but also had some free time. The trip had a good mix of cultural, physical and siteseeing activities. The trips organisation was exceptional and there were always additional activities if you wanted them. This was my 6th tour, and Rihas our guide was one of the best ❤️ He really made my time in Sri Lanka extra special. You can really see he loves his job & enjoys sharing his knowledge of the country. His organisation and people skills were 10/10. Don't hesitate and book now!
