Outstanding Sri Lanka Tour with an Exceptional Guide
Sri Lanka
|
Jan 7 - Jan 14, 2026
We traveled as a group of three adults aged 60–71 and the experience was truly outstanding. The trip was carefully organized and executed flawlessly at every stage, without delays or unexpected issues, and included a wonderful balance of both cultural and natural sightseeing. The only challenge for us was that much of the food, even when described as “not spicy,” was still too picante for our taste. Traveling in Sri Lanka also involves long hours on the road, but Ajith, our guide-driver, is an excellent and very safe driver and always took care to plan regular and comfortable stops.
From the very first day, Ajith made us feel completely taken care of. Every step of the journey was thoughtfully planned and continuously adjusted to our needs and wishes — from food preferences and meal timing to sightseeing pace, personal interests, and engaging conversations along the way. In several places, he paid for tickets in advance using his own money, ensuring smooth entry, saving us time, and eliminating any waiting. At restaurants, he consistently arranged tables with the best views. What truly set Ajith apart was his care and responsibility in an unexpected medical situation. When one of us experienced an acute health issue, Ajith handled everything calmly and professionally, accompanied us to the hospital, and ensured we received proper care. Overall, the journey was not only enjoyable but deeply memorable. We wholeheartedly recommend this experience to anyone looking for a guided tour in Sri Lanka.
Activity Reviews
Very special place, great explanation about Buddhism.
Amazing historical evidence. Unusual for a European culture tourist.
We explored the village by tractor, continued by boat on the lake, and returned by tuk-tuk, as cycling was not possible due to a leg still recovering from an injury. Communication with the local guide was somewhat difficult, and we would have appreciated more explanations. It was also not entirely clear to us how the lake ride related to the rural village experience.
We could not go up due to a leg still recovering from injury, but our guide thoughtfully arranged a ride around by tuk-tuk.
The experience was beyond expectations. We were fortunate to visit at a time when it was not crowded, yet a donation ceremony was taking place. Seeing a place of faith filled with people dressed in white and surrounded by flowers was truly moving and felt like a rare and special experience.
Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage was an amazing place and well worth the long journey. Seeing the young elephants playing and watching dozens of elephants bathing and interacting with one another was a truly special and unforgettable experience
The Yala National Park jeep safari was very interesting, and seeing such a wide variety of animals was beyond our expectations. Unfortunately, we were not lucky enough to spot leopards. Their sighting did not seem realistic to us, as these cats are extremely cautious and naturally tend to move away when many jeeps gather together.
