This is a wonderful tour to take in some of the best bits in Sri Lanka. It enables you to see and experience the way the island works. Culturally it is very diverse.
Our group was not the most mobile as we had one on crutches and one with a bad knee but we still found much to see and do. Our guide Keerthe was very flexible and adjusted the itinerary to fit with our groups abilities.
Would definitely recommend this tour especially if you want time for other activities but want to see a good part of Sri Lanka.

It was a last minute plan to visit this part of the world, in conjunction with our 18th year anniversary. The private tour itinerary is arranged to suit our request and flexible timing is what we liked most. A good introductory trip to start with in Sri Lanka.

My tour guide Keerthe was excellent and very helpful in making the tour best suited for me. The elephant safari and Sigiriya rock fortress were incredible. I liked my trip so much I booked a day trip to galle.
