Crazy traffic

Zhanna_G, Apr 2026

When I booked my tour to go to the New Giragama Tea factory, I didn’t know that it would fall on a holiday. The traffic was horrific- besides being bumper to bumper, lots of accidents. People driving recklessly and consequently our car hit a car in front of us which took another 15 minutes off my tour. We spent 7 (!!!!!!!!) hours on the road and 15 minutes at the factory. I couldn’t take a tasting menu nor pick leaves on the farm. I just bought 3 packages of tea and we had to go back to the cruise terminal praying that I would miss my ship. It wasn’t planned properly by the provider, they shouldn’t offer this kind of tour on any holiday particularly when it’s outside Colombo requiring about 3.5 hours drive. I could’ve bought a tea in the city instead of paying $155 for being 7 hours on the congested road. Disappointed, extremely disappointed…

Response from Host, Apr 2026

I’m really sorry to hear about your experience—it clearly didn’t go as expected, and I understand your frustration. Your tour took place on April 15th, which is just after the Sinhala and Tamil New Year. This is one of the busiest travel periods in Sri Lanka, with many people returning from their hometowns back to Colombo. Because of this, the roads can become extremely congested, and unfortunately, traffic conditions can be unpredictable, with delays and even accidents occurring more frequently during this time. That said, I completely understand your disappointment, especially since you spent most of your time on the road and had very limited time at the tea factory. This is certainly not the kind of experience we aim to provide. Normally, we try to plan these tours to ensure a comfortable journey and enough time to enjoy the visit, but the holiday traffic on that particular day made it very challenging. We truly appreciate your feedback, and we will take this into account to avoid offering long-distance tours on peak holiday dates in the future. Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and again, we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused.
