Don’t use. Not as promised

Booked a 7night tour with 4star hotels. Price was reasonable Communication was sporadic and brief but itenary was sent eventually. The itenary said professional English speaking guide. Well that as far removed from the truth as possible. The chap I got was a 26yr old man who had never done the tour , could not speak a word of English a nd was definitely not a guide. He didn’t even know the route. He drove at snails pace with google maps on his phone on his lap. Every single journey added 1-2 hrs and we often got lost. Missed out completely on Negombo, arrived late at the elephant orphanage so could not do much. He had no idea of prices anywhere and we ended up paying over the top for some excursion. You could not describe him as a guide even loosely. He kept apologising but that did not make my experience any easier or better. I literally did my own research to know what to visit. The hotels were definitely not 4star as promised. 3star at a push. They then insisted I pay the remaining balance before the tour was even 50% complete which I declined . After multiple conversations I finally managed to speak to Mr Buddika the MD. He was extremely rude and that I was wasting his time and should pay and get on with it. Wow. I was quite shocked by the response. After protracted WhatsApp chats( he refused to speak on the phone) , he offered me a pathetic $40 dollars off. I would definitely recommend not to use this company purely because of the arrogance of the MD.

Wildlife tour of Sri Lanka

We did a 2 week wildlife tour of Sri Lanka with Ceylon Travel Dream. From the start, the communication was excellent. Throughout the booking process we were able to customise the trip to what we wanted to see and do. Even after booking, Kasun checked in with us throughout the tour to ensure we were enjoying ourselves. Our tour guide Chandana was incredibly attentive, he made sure that we got to see everything Sri Lanka has to offer as well as experience the culture, food and local life. He would always stop and show us places of interest on our long drives as well as ensuring we had plenty of drinks and snacks on the road and during our safaris. We visited many of the national parks such as Yala, Wilpattu, Udawalawe and Minneriya. We saw lots of elephants, buffalo, crocodiles, birds, leopards and even some sloth bears! We also visited a park called Maduru Oya, I do not recommend this specific park as it’s very overgrown making it difficult to see the wildlife, you also have to constantly duck out of the way of branches. The vehicle we were in during this safari was poorly maintained and very noisy meaning the animals ran away as soon as we got close. Most of the hotels we stayed in were clean and comfortable with a good selection of food for breakfast and dinner. We personally were not a fan of Arugam bay as it’s a typical backpacker/tourist hotspot and the entire place smells like burning garbage and plastic. We were very lucky to have such an attentive and knowledgeable guide who has an infectious enthusiasm for sharing his love of his country. He showed us the natural beauty of Sri Lanka and ensured we had the best possible time. I would recommend booking with this company and would book again without hesitation should we decide to return to Sri Lanka.

A Complete Dream Holiday!!!

This was our first trip to Sri Lanka. From first enquiry, their recommendations according to our interests, booking, paying deposit and pre-trip communication everything was excellent. We paid the balance after arrival! We chose Wildlife and Nature Tour which included Sigiriya, Minnerya, the tea plantations, iconic train ride to Ella, Hiking in Horton Plains, Yala wildlife and Bundala wetlands. We completed with a beach stay and our trip lasted 12 days. From secretive herds of elephants, a large male leopard sunning himself at Yala to seeing a baby eagle in its nest and the multitude of glorious birds at Bundala where we were about the only jeep around Ceylon Travel Dream indeed has delivered a holiday we could only dream about! With no nightmares! From arrival in Sri Lanka we had no worries at all Ceylon Travel Dream’s driver, Chamil, was there to help from the moment we landed. He took on the job of us enjoying Sri Lanka to the max in a very professional and fun way, always respecting our wishes on trips and rest. He was kind, considerate and easy to be with. We felt secure in his hands. The vehicle was excellent. Accommodation was all excellent and we experienced some beautiful hotels even though we said we didn’t need luxury! We enjoyed it immensely. All meals were included so we got to try out a lot of options. Excellent standard in everything! Amazing really. Most memorable though are the tours. The wildlife is so close and the jeep guides did their best to help us see the world’s best animals! We will never forget some of those encounters! We would DEFINITELY book Ceylon Travel Dream again. Fantastic value for the price!

Response from the operator: We appreciate you taking the time to review our services, and we hope to provide a better service when the next time comes to Sri Lanka.
