★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 15 reviews · from $275

Private 2-day Sri Lanka tour with the Hill Country Blue Train, Kandy temples and shows, and Nuwara Eliya tea tasting and gardens.

“I got a completely different experience than almost every other review here. My guide wasn’t really a guide at all but more like a private driver. He didn’t really say a word the entire 2 days to me as he didn’t speak english well. But he was a great driver, always on time, and dropped me off and picked me up everywhere like clockwork. I accepted that I basically paid for a private chauffeur for two days which is fine. Still had a good time seeing all the sights, and as promised, they took care of all train tickets, hotel, etc.”

★★★★★★★★★★3.8 · 6 reviews · 2 days · from $292

“Il nostro tour è iniziato da Colombo con la nostra guida che è venuta a prenderci in perfetto orario. La guida è stata molto gentile e disponibile e ci ha spiegato alcune cose durante il tragitto. L’albergo dove abbiamo alloggiato a Mirissa era molto bello ed il personale molto gentile! Abbiamo visitato il piccolo parco delle tartarughe e siamo stati a Galle che è stata una bella esperienza ma il punto forte sono la spiaggia di Mirissa e soprattutto la gita in barca. Il bel ricordo è probabilmente dovuto anche al fatto che siamo riusciti a vedere le balene!! Unica nota: se si soffre il mal di mare, il tour…”

The driver was an old gentleman almost 70’years old. He was trying to do a good job but it was very hard for him. He wanted to rest and sleep and we were not feeling safe to drive with him due to a very hazard roads and crazy traffic where people drive without any rules. For $600 per…”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 3 reviews · 2 days · from $297

Two days in Sri Lanka’s Cultural Triangle with Sigiriya, Polonnaruwa, Dambulla caves, plus a Minneriya elephant safari option.

“I managed to fit 5 historical/cultural sites, 2 activities and 3 shops into my 36 hour tour - probably assisted by the fact that I ended up being the only one on the tour. There is a lot to do in this part of Sri Lanka - I had a wonderful time. I found Jayaweera a really great guide – very helpful and willing to pack everything into a very short time. I would definitely recommend him. Just so you know - if you want the guide to show you around Sigiriya, you need to pay for their entrance fee as well as your own. Might not be worth it.”
