Daneesh was one of the best tour guides that took care of my big family on our tour of Siri Lanka. He was a knowledgeable guide who went beyond his scope to ensure we were happy, engaged and comfortable. He took us to numerous places and was willing to even add to the program other destinations. He truly wanted us to experience every beautiful opportunity on our route. Siri Lanka thank you! You have been kind.

Quite impressed with the hospitality of our driver Mr. Channa he guided us through each and everything in detail. We started from Bentotta than moved to Colombo and concluded our journey at Nuwara Eliya.
Good day trip despite travelling a long way. The turtle sanctuary was very interesting and the mangrove boat trip enjoyable however we were not aware we had to pay extra for both of these parts of the trip. This should be clearly stated when booking the trip. Galle was a lovely little resort but we really didn’t have enough time to enjoy it and have time to walk around which we would have liked!
I booked the tour though Viator because they usually find the best tours. This was no exception. My driver/tour guide Umamga was perfect. He is knowledgeable and is a very safe and courteous driver. We went everyplace on the itinerary and more! I was so pleased that I booked him for the next day to take me to a dive center for scuba. He sourced that out also. Lunch spots, coffee shops, etc. were also found by him and all were terrific. I can't say enough good things except that I will definitely use this company again on my return to Sri Lanka.
Dear Sir/ Madam, Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback. We are looking forward to see you again in Sri Lanka Thanks Darshana
