What are people saying about Sri Lanka

Veerle_V, Jul 2026

Highly recommanded guide tour in Anuradhapura

Don’t hesitate to book this guide for your trip to Anuradhapura. Navin has a nice and positive energy, speaks English very well and has a lot of knowledge about the ancient city but also about buddhism and Sri Lanka’s history. Even mij two children (20 and 19 years) listened carefully to Navin. He was able to keep their attention by bringing different perspectives to the things we saw (cultural, religious, historical and facts, …) Hé manages to make a good connection to the diversity of our family. Boy, girl, gen Z en gen X, all having their particulier interests. This must have been the first time our kids truly enjoyed an archelogical site for more than 4 hours. A clear shout out and recommendation from us.

Amazing Yala Safari

Our Safari tour was wonderful. Our driver Ishan was well prepared for the long drive from Colombo to the National Park at Yala with water and wonderful stories of Sri Lanka. He also explained many things about the culture and sites during the drive to the Safari. The Safari was a great adventure. We have been on Safaris in South Africa and this was very different. We were able to see elephants, mongoose, deer, wolves and other animals. The highlight of the tour was seeing a leopard. Our Safari driver/guide was great at explaining everything about the park and animals to us. It is a very long day leaving from Colombo to the National Park but well worth it.

Southern Sri Lanka Sightseeing Day Trip From Colombo & Negombo

Best tour ever

I have done many tours the last few years across many countries and 3 continents and this was by far the best tour I have been on. Kavindu Minipura Was super flexible, kind, entertaining, and humble. He was willing to go the extra mile to give me a great experience. I felt like a friend or a family member not a just a tourist job. If you do this tour and get him you are blessed. Seeing sites is breathtaking but experiencing them is an honour!!

An excellent introduction to Colombo

This Tuk Tuk tour is an excellent way to see Colombo. Very entertaining, insightful, and affordable and it comes with a friendly guide, Mr. Kumaran, who was probably the best part of the experience for me. He is easy to talk to and has a warm spirit. Colombo has a rich history and a lot of variety and this tour offers an excellent introduction. I highly recommend.

Best cooking class!

We were recommended this cooking class by another couple and were really glad they did. I’ve done a few cooking classes before and this was by far the best! We felt like we were part of her family cooking the most amazing meals in her beautiful property. Shyama was excellent at explaining the meals. The flavours were all incredible.

Me and my partner did the half day safari in the afternoon and had the best experience possible. We saw around 20-30 elephants, crocodiles, buffalo, a ton of birds and some amazing plants. Our driver Jayashan was amazing at spotting the animals and knew so much! I would definitely recommend both the trip and especially Jayashan. Book this trip - you will not be disappointed.

Shalani_R, Mar 2026

Highly recommend this tour! All the highlights in a short time period.

This was an incredible tour! We felt like it covered all the major highlights and we didn’t feel rushed. Our tour guide Krish was lovely and gave us heaps of good tips along the way too - really friendly guy and safe driver! He spoke really good English so that helped too. The hotels we stayed at were comfortable 3&4 star hotels which was great and in good locations. The places that Krish took us for lunch were all really good places with good food. I especially liked the safari in Udawallawe and the village tour we did at Sigiriya - as part of the village tour we got to have lunch made by the villagers and that was an absolute highlight and really recommend everyone to do the Sigiriya Village tour lunch (I think this was with ‘A+ Tours’). Krish was also able to customise the trip on the spot based on our preferences and even stopped at additional places (like for us to get durian haha). Overall great trip and would highly recommend!

Private Jeep Safari at Minneriya National Park to Visit Elephants

Choose Sinhigari tours

Excellent tour and very very knowledgeable about the national park. Not only did we come up excitingly close to elephants there were a lot of other amazing wildlife pointed out to us too. Our guide was considerate to the environment and the animals. There was no chasing or hunting out the animals. They either came or they didn't. Lucky for us they did. Our guide was lovely and friendly with excellent knowledge and professionalism shown throughout the trip. We were very happy with Sinhigari tours and would recommend them especially this driver. We did start 40 mins late as pick up was delayed but the rest of the tour soon made up for that.
