Private 7 Days Sri Lanka Tour with Safari and Cultural sites

If you hesitate, go for it, trust me

Before booking a tour with the agency, I hesitated a little, because the price is not exactly cheap, so I considered travelling all by myself with public transport. Also thought it'd be a great adventure to do so. However, we needed this vacay to be efficient (we did not exactly have the whole month to travel through the Ceylon island due to business duties) and safe (we traveled with kids 9 and 10) - so I decided to go for the agency eventually. Best decision ever! Communication before the vacay was also very smooth, the agency prepared the schedule for us based on our requierements and preferencies. It saved me so much time, nerves, and in the end I guess also the money. Our driver Malith was very kind person, willing to help, respected our needs for the neverending stopping by the road for coconut water, starting later in the morning due to our everyday morning runs, etc :) Also recommended two very nice accommodation for us for a very reasonable price. Overall, on the scale of 10 I'm giving it 9 and refraining from the 10 just because I am the "there's always space for improvement" type :) definitely recommend to go for this solution when you want to get to know the real Sri Lanka :)

SRI LANKA with Anusha

We recommend this tour operator and the Driver Anusha. We did an 8-day personalized tour on a route chosen by us after reading a guide. I must say that Nimesha, contact person for the tour operator, despite other tour operators, was very helpful with the offer and planning, even in the months before departure. The driver he entrusted to us was a 29 year old boy, Anusha, reliable and very knowledgeable, as well as being empathetic and available on timetables and in general. There was an immediate connection with him, who did everything he could to please us and introduce us to aspects of the local culture and environment, after understanding that it was what we cared about most. He himself was very knowledgeable and also acted as our guide and not just as a driver. For the UNESCO sites Dambulla, Sygiria, Polonnaruwa and Anuradnapura. In addition to tickets, I had immediately asked the agency for UNESCO guides. But here there was a misunderstanding with the agency, even though I asked and confirmed it twice in writing. This misunderstanding was then resolved by Driver Anusha, also thanks to her friendships. I advise the agency to clarify this aspect well before departure. As far as Sygiria is concerned, visiting the village is not the priority of the average tourist. The priority is certainly to visit Lyon Rock, which however was not included for me and neither was the guide and I was sorry to discover this at the time, since I thought it was all included and that I would no longer have to think about anything as agreed. We then had to get up at 5am Morning and pay for your ticket and guide to this site yourself. It was still nice to go at dawn. I hadn't read the program carefully, where it talked about a visit to the village of Sygiria. but it is obvious that any tourist will be disappointed if they travel many kilometers and then see that Lyon Rock has not been included. Instead, a visit to the village was included, which before leaving you don't really know what it is and I mistook it for Lyon Rock. At the village there is the lady who prepares the food, the little tour on the river and the cart with the ox, which is nice, but a little touristy and it wasn't explained to us what it was about and maybe we would have skipped it this experience. If you have little time it is certainly not the first experience to propose to Sygiria. For the rest the positive notes are greater and therefore it was a wonderful experience, and we recommend the driver Anusha.

Fantastic trip

Srilanka was a beautiful trip that makes it difficult for me to find the right words to leave a review to match. Because a trip is about moments, emotions, people and all this cannot be described because it remains personal, intimate. This short but intense trip was made special by my guide Dilshan who led me to his land with authenticity and love. He made my trip organised but without too many predictions. He welcomed all my wishes with enthusiasm and the first few times were also new to him, like going to a local school to make a day special for orphaned children. I can say that the trip I went on was shared with him from start to finish. I have to say that I could not have wished for a better guide, now a friend who has given me the opportunity to enter his story, his family and his land. See you again!
