See Ravana Falls, tea country, Dambulla caves, and Sigiriya in two packed days, with scenic rail travel, lodging, meals, and an English-speaking guide.
“Rangar was a wonderful guide. Caring about the people taking part and a very good and safe driver. It would have been perfect if his English was better ( but I know he is improving it quickly) Thank you for the nice trip!”
Ride Sri Lanka’s blue train through hill country, visit Kandy and Nuwara Eliya, tour a tea factory, and see Peradeniya’s famous 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.”

See blue whales near Mirissa, explore Galle Fort, cruise Bentota River, and visit beaches, temples, turtles, and coral sites in two busy days.
“The tour was everything I had expected and envisioned it to be - we had a very friendly and knowledgeable guide, who explained to us certain histories and information about the places we passed, or was going to. He made sure we were well settled into our hotel for the night, and was ready to help us at any of the other excursions. I really enjoyed the river cruise - as I did not know what to expect, and saw the amazing wildlife the mangroves had to offer us! My only complaint is that the hotel room we stayed at had very little air conditioning, and the room and bathroom…”
Pack two safaris, Sinharaja rainforest, Galle Fort, and Sri Lanka’s south coast into a busy but rewarding private two-day trip.
“We had a wonderful trip thanks to our excellent driver Sameera. Both our driver as well as the owner of the company were great to work with, before and during the trip. Highly recommended !!! If you have time spend more days it is worth it!”
Two packed days from Sri Lanka’s west coast to Ella and Nuwara Eliya, with turtles, Galle Fort, elephants, tea country, waterfalls, and a scenic train ride.
See Sigiriya, Polonnaruwa, Dambulla, and Pidurangala on a fast-paced two-day cultural tour from Colombo with a small group guide.
“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.”

“We have just come back from this trip and would recommend our driver Mohammed who was excellent. The roads & traffic conditions are very difficult and he remained calm and safe throughout. Our first stop was to wash and feed elephants - this was the highlight for mRead more”
