Beyond Amazing

Great trip. I Would highly recommend Kumara my tour guide and Beyond Escapes Tour Company. As a solo (senior) traveler I was taken care of very well. In 10 days I saw 7 UNESCO world heritage sites, a UNESCO Forest, went on a safari and saw gorgeous scenery everywhere. Plus Kumara was a wonderful driver and he drove a Prius Hybrid with A/C comfortably throughout this fabulous trip.

Making the best of a difficult situation

We had a 6 day holiday in Sri Lanka for our honeymoon. Unfortunately we arrived on the day that curfews had been imposed which limited our itinerary. Our driver and guide Krishan was professional, polite and kind. The only thing we could fault was some of his historical knowledge (for example repeated pointing out locations that Queen Victoria visited, despite the fact she never travelled to Sri Lanka) We were still able to enjoy our time, the highlight being the safari in Yala, staying in the leopards nest tree nest. We would recommend Krishan and Beyond Escapes

Exceptional!

We recommend beyond escape without hesitation! We had an unforgettable stay thanks to impressive logistics: excursion faithful to the description. We were pleasantly surprised by the choice of hotels as well as the sightseeing that was organized so that we would go there when there were as few people as possible while respecting our pace. Our driver guide Kumara is a pearl, attentive and caring for us. Despite our really poor English we had discussions with a lot of humor. Exchanges by whatsapp with the company facilitated our departure but also facilitated the continuation of our stay in Sri Lanka. Good luck to them!

Nayomi island Excursions

We travel....a lot, and this was an epic adventure! What we saw was amazing but even more impressive was the logistics behind our travel. Our trip was flawless. All the transportation and local guides were on time and extremely nice. Our main guide Nayomi were very special and wonderfully knowledgeable and went out of her way to make our trip special. I will highly recommend Active Adventure to everyone.”

Private tour with friend in car from Colombo via Kandy, Sigiriya, etc. to Galle. Then bathing in Hikkaduwa

Very good organization, from transfer to English language skills (partly German) and competent tour guide. Accommodations/hotels without complaints with partially grandiose views. Great nature, very interesting insights into the history of Sri Lanka and existing religions including visits to temples, monasteries and viewpoints. If the provider is selected correctly, highly recommended. Very pleasant country with nice people. The current security situation appears to be questionable.

Complements to Dulani and Imran

Beyond Escapes people are reliable, responsible and very flexible in their services. We booked this tour with this company and received 100% support and timely response from ms. Dulani. She was supportive and always available if there were any questions, everything went perfectly. Our driver Dinesh kept us safe during the road trip from pick up and was a wealth of knowledge guy and personal interest about the sites. I would not hesitate to use these guys again, they enable us to see so much in a short time. Hats off for these people.

Beyond Escapes is way better than the reviews

Two months before the tour, I was looking for a good travel agency to spend our vacation in Sri Lanka. Finally I stumbled on to Beyond Escapes and I read some of the reviews that they were very good, could be relied on etc etc and that is what finally convinced me. We got a great driver with good knowledge not only of Sri Lankan culture and monuments but also streets, best practices and offered good advices. He always asked customers first and offered options without taking any decision or trying pushing to specific places. I am really satisfied with the service. I couldn’t ask for more. Thank you.

Tremendous

I booked this tour with Beyond Escapes to explore the Sri Lanka with my friends. We went to Sigiriya, Dambulla, Polonnaruwa, Kandy and Nuwara Eliya over 6 days. Our driver made the trip memorable as he always made sure we were comfortable everyday. He is a very nice person and safe driver, 3-4 long hours driver felt short as he frequently jokes around and told us some information about the places we went to. Overall the trip was wonderful

Second time using Beyond escapes

This was our second tour with Beyond Escapes and we had no hesitation to use their service again. We booked this tour through online just like the last time and we received 100% support from Dulani throughout the journey. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and explained all with a passion. We learnt a lot from him about Sri Lanka and its culture. He knew all the best places for photos in the sites and he made these historic buildings come alive to us. We really enjoyed this tour and we have no regret to recommend them to others.
