Tour of Sri Lanka and relaxing in the Maldives

We had an absolutely fabulous time. Sri Lanka far exceeded our expectations it is a lovely clean green and friendly country. We would definitely visit again. The Maldives was as amazing as we expected.

Dear Lynn,

Thank you so much for taking the time to review our services. I'm so glad that the majority of your trip was a great success. We've looked at the internal feedback you gave us and we're really sorry to hear that the tea experience lunch was arranged for 4pm instead of lunchtime as we had planned. This is a new experience that we have recently launched and we're not sure what could have happened. We shall follow up immediately, find out for you and contact you directly.

Once again, I appreciate your taking the time to write this review of our services and so pleased you enjoyed Sri Lanka.

Kind regards,

Sam Clark

Sri Lanka tour with a guide driver to visit some of main points of interest, would need numerous visits to see all the treasures. We enoyed the whole experience from the moment we left our front door in the Emirates supplied car to our return home in the same manor. The whole tour exceeded our expections with our the driver guide being excellent. The history of the country, the friendly people who could not do enough, the excellent food and the amazing unigue places we stayed all contributed to make this the best holiday yet. So many good memories.

Rating for tour operator:

Our operator knew the country well and this showed in the detailed itinerary that enabled to see everything without being part of the mass parties of the visiting tourists. Would recommend to all.

Wonderful holiday

We thoroughly enjoyed the experience having never been to Srilanka before. Everything went well as planned. Our driver was knowledgable, friendly and informative. He (Kapila) ensured we enjoyed the best of the areas we were in. Our accommodation was as described and food delicious.
