Sri lanka Holliday with friends

I went to Sri Lanka with a few friends. Everything was very well planned and flee winter listened to exactly what we wanted. We flew into colombo and stayed in multiple locations as we travelled across Sri Lanka. I think we did everything that we wanted to do while there including a safari, Sigirya, kandy, snorkelling in Trinchomalee and much more. Everything consistently exceeded expectations

Flew winter were really great in organising everything with us. They listened to what we wanted and offered great suggestions too. They made sure everything ran smoothly. We could never have done the trip so well without their help.

Sri Lankan family tour/holiday

We had an amazing time enjoying the delights of Sri Lanka despite the sad recent bombings. We stayed in a number of different styles of accommodation and all were up to our expectations. The Sri Lankans are delightful efficient and keen to please. The recent terror attacks would not prevent me from going back to Sri Lanka. Fleewinter's service was exemplary from start to finish.

Rating for tour operator:

Fleewinter's service was exemplary from start to finish. A company's true colours only really come out when tested in a crisis. It was a scary time to be in the country but its reps stayed in touch at all times on hand with local knowledge and advice. They were always available to organise activities and trip changes. I would not hesitate to recommend the company and indeed already have.

We are so delighted that you enjoyed your holiday to Sri Lanka despite being in-country on Easter Sunday. Thank you very much for your kind comments regarding our service too.

Excellent Sri Lankan tour with toddlers in tow

Our family of 4 had a lovely holiday in Sri Lanka. We visited Colombo, Kegalle/Kandy area (for a peek into culture and history and the beauty of the tea plantation area), and Induruwa/Bentota (for beach going and visiting Galle Fort). Our trip was made significantly easier with the help of a car and driver, which is highly recommended with toddlers. If traveling with children, we highly recommend the Kosgoda Turtle Hatchery and being part of ...

Rating for tour operator:

Fleewinter provided good recommendations for traveling in Sri Lanka with two toddlers for accommodations, activities and food. They were willing to listen to how we like to travel and make the trip a good fit for us personally.

Busy and tiring but brilliant

Moving on every 2 days without rest days was probably too ambitious and we should have built some down time in

They were efficient and effective and responsive to questions

Fleewinter responded to this review on 11 Apr 2018:

The pace of a Sri Lanka tour is crucial. The temptation can be to see it all, but this can leave little time for a much needed rest. After all, if you love it you can always return!

A lot of Good and a little Bad

During our two week holiday we stayed in 5 different locations four of which ranged from the fantastic to the very good, sadly one was clean but very basic and extremely difficult to get to. Although we had been to Sri Lanka before and traveled extensively, the car journeys this time seemed much longer and uncomfortable. But that is the price you pay for some of the most stunning scenery I have ever witnessed from Mountains to Jungle to Seashore ...

Rating for tour operator:

Very efficient and seemed to have deep knowledge of Sri Lanka. Very communicative, I thought they'd understood our requirements, which in the main they did, but was let down on a few things.

Fleewinter responded to this review on 09 Jan 2018:

Thank you for your feedback. I am delighted you had a lovely time but at the same time wish we had opted for a different accommodation style to the one guesthouse you have mentioned. I also wish I had been able to reduce journey times or try to tweak things so your journeys were more manageable but you are right sometimes these lovely places are very difficult to access. Thank you so much for your feedback.

Fleewinter responded to this review on 09 Jan 2018:

Thank you and I apologise for the double beds when twin beds were requested. I had included this prerequisite when confirming the rooms initially but this doesn't seem to have been acknowledged by the hotels.

Culture, wildlife and beach

We spent 2 weeks in Sri Lanka with our two young children and had a great time. We had a nice mix of culture (Sigiriya, Dambulla, Galle), wildlife (crocodiles, elephants, turtles) and beach. Our driver was really helpful and friendly. There are lots of places in Asia we would like to visit but we would seriously consider a return trip here in a couple of years.

Fleewinter responded quickly to all our emails and have a useful website. Our accommodation was lovely and transport perfectly organised. They also provided an app for our phones with the itinerary, hotel information, destination information and basic maps so we could track our location when offline. We would use them again.
