Koon Holidays (Pvt) Ltd

All of our guides did an excellent job. They were able to answer all the questions we had, were flexible when any changes were needed and extremely helpful when there was a medical emergency. Personally, I would have preferred staying a little longer at each place rather then moving every day or every two days from one place to another.

We enjoyed our stay in Sri Lanka and especially found Nuwara to be a beautiful area and stayed in a lovely hotel. Yala and the hotel were also nice.

We all liked our tour guide and appreciated his level of knowledge and recommendations.

The amount of time spent driving was a surprise and would have made different decisions had I know. I also think it should have been communicated the first hotel was not at all a luxury experience. The service, food and room were all mediocre.

It would be nice to have helpful information proactively provided. For example the bathrooms along the highway charge to use them so having smaller bills would have been very helpful. Recommended tips for tour guide and safari drivers, clothing for higher elevation etc.

Really the rated should be N.A.- We opted not to do this based on feedback from several people that the weather is iffy and no animals. Sounded like a nature walk but required 2 additional hours of driving.

Wildlife was great including water buffalo, elephants, owls, deer and many birds. We did not see a leopard.

As a senior woman travelling solo my 6 night tour of southern Sri Lanka could not have been more perfect. Kapila, a lovely gentleman who was my guide and driver, was incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and flexible. Whether a riverside yurt/tent in the forest, beachside, or downtown urban setting, all the accommodations were perfect: clean, modern, with helpful staff. The arranged safaris and tour of the Galle Fort were amazing, but I think my favourite part was Kapila sharing a visit to his Buddhist temple and just completely relaxing on the beautiful Weligama beach. I could not have asked for a better experience.

Our tour in Sri Lanka was an absolute delight from start to finish! The lush landscapes, rich culture, and warm hospitality left us in awe. Each day was an adventure, from exploring ancient temples to wandering through vibrant markets and beautiful seaside beaches.

One of the highlights of the trip was the scenic drive through the hill country, where we were treated to breathtaking views of tea plantations and cascading waterfalls. Our guide Shamaka was knowledgeable and passionate, making each site visit engaging and informative.

Sri Lanka's cuisine was a feast for the senses, with aromatic spices and fresh ingredients. Every meal was a culinary journey in itself. The local people were incredibly friendly and made us feel at home wherever we went.

The tour was well-organized, under the permanent care of Danushka, the local organizer, with smooth transitions between activities and first-class accommodations. We were able to relax and fully immerse ourselves in the experience, knowing everything was taken care of.

However, the Yalla Park Safari could have been better organized. Very crowded and not guided as expected. Despite this hiccup, the overall experience remained overwhelmingly positive and did not detract from our enjoyment of the trip.

Our Sri Lanka tour was a perfect blend of adventure, relaxation, and cultural enrichment. We can't recommend it enough and look forward to our next visit with KimKim Team!

Everything was very well organised and Mahendra our guide and driver was excellent. We both really enjoyed our tour of Sri Lanka and can’t wait to go back

Our trip was amazing. Our local travel specialist, Dhanushka was attentive to our needs and planned a great trip for us. We wanted an active trip and Dhanushka definitely delivered. All of the activities and hotels he picked were excellent. From our elephant safari to our white-water rafting and jungle trekking, everything was amazing. The sites around Sri Lanka were awesome to see as well. The rock fortress, ancient sites and cave temple were a joy to witness.

Although Dhanushka planned a great trip, I'm not sure this trip would have been as amazing without our extremely awesome driver and guide AJ. Out of all of our travels, I have to say that AJ has been the best travel guide we have ever had. He was so personable and made our trip amazing. My wife and I felt like we had a family member taking us around Sri Lanka. AJ was very knowledgeable on all things Sri Lankan and made us feel so at ease. I believe he went above and beyond his duties to ensure we had a great vacation.

I would definitely recommend the KimKim Team and Dhanushka for your travel destinations. And if you're going to Sri Lanka, it is a must that you request AJ as your travel guide. You will not be disappointed.

Thank you,
Melvin and Lisa

AJ was our driver and he was awesome

I had an excellent trip and one that I highly recommend. This was Kandy, Nurwara Eliya, Haputale and Ella. The biggest highlight was staying at the Melheim in Haputale. Truly paradise and you can see God's beauty in every corner of the resort. The views were breathtaking! I will go back to Haputale again in a heartbeat. Dhanushka is an excellent person to work with and within 2 days he tailored the holiday I wanted. There were some hiccups but Dhanushka took care of things well. Loved being in all the places and it was a truly magical holiday for me. Pranit was my driver/guide and I highly recommend him. A very careful driver and he was an excellent guide even as we scaled up the Little Adam's peak in Ella and other spots. He took be also to placesof interest like churches. Amazing guy and made me feel safe as a woman. I highly recommend him.
