Faris was an excellent guide, and was very flexible to what we wanted to see. He also sorted out a couple of people who did not want to give us change!
Recently I have a very good experience organizing a 7days trip for a group of 18 people from Malaysia, schedule to travel on 24 Nov 2025. I have no regrets choosing Sazy Lanka Tours . This is the first time Zack and me came to know each other. Thru the whole duration we only chat thru What's App. He is very friendly and a very responsible person. I did not follow the group there but after my group came back, the feed back from them was tremendous. Every one was very happy with the services, 5 star hotels and good food (taking into the consideration of the tour fare they paid). Despite, due to the natural disaster during the whole trip (typhoon & flooding) he tried to arrange for them to visit all the important sites, rerouting whenever necessary. He even accommodated them with a few extra request. Everyday he would call me on What's App n sent pictures to update me the situation, knowing that I will be quite worried for the group. I will definitely recommend to my friends to book tours thru you. "SYABAS SAZY LANKA TOURS." 你是最棒的
Dear Leong, Thank you so much for taking the time to share this wonderful and heartfelt review. It was truly a pleasure assisting you in organizing the 7-day tour for your group from Malaysia.

Nice. for almost half the price of another quote we got. Accomodative of our special requests. Well taken care of during rare national disaster. Sri Lanka people are generally calm like the overall trip feel. Not much honking/haggling. Even the pigeons can be petted!

Had a great day in Colombo with Zack and his fantastic driver Bastian. Zack provided us with a great list of potential sights and attractions and let us customize the tour in order to meet our needs. We chose a variety of historical, religious places as well as some places that showed life in Colombo. We chose to do some shopping which included the unforgettable Pettah market, a local grocery store (always a must do for us!), the Blue Field tea shop, and the Commonwealth Gem Company. We were well taken care of, had a lot of fun and were safe and comfortable in the spacious air conditioner van. When we return to Colombo we will certainly call Zack at Sazy Lanka Tours!

We had a 7 day holiday starting with a warm welcome and greeting at Colombo by our chauffeur Abdulsamad. Then we embarked on an exciting journey to Kandy, Nuwara Eliya, Bentota then back to Colombo. The hotel choice was successful, the trips and activities were well organized and very enjoyable. Our guide provided us with everything we needed along the trips. Thanks to Sazy Lanka Tours we had an amazing experience in beautiful Sri Lanka.
