“Friendliness of Sri Lankans. Mix of cultures – Buddhist, Hindu, Christian, Muslim. Variety of sights and activities – historic sites and cities, beach resorts, wildlife/national parks. Quality and variety of accommodation. Food – especially seafood, tropical fruit. [What did you like most about Sri Lanka?] Ravi was great. He had an amazing ability to spot a chameleon at 500m! We appreciated his knowledge of birds and wildlife. We enjoyed his insights into local history and culture.”

“The people (so friendly and helpful from the guides, to service staff to locals), the varied landscape, the varied places to see. [What did you like most about Sri Lanka?] The warm, beautiful water to snorkel in. Being able to snorkel along a wall for such long periods of time was great. No need to dive.

“Your services in setting the itinerary were perfect. The accommodation is all memorable and it is impossible to select a clear winner. Everyone was very different and brought their own uniqueness to the experience. Food and service were all excellent. Kapila was a joy. He made our experience in Sri Lanka so memorable. His knowledge of wildlife and particularly the birds was exceptional.”

“Thanks to John, Pathi and all in furnishing this gloriously memorable family trip to an island of such abundant attraction for us. Our senses were truly sated. There was perfect balance between sightseeing, travel and relaxation. Anura is a treasure. His knowledge, passion for his culture, consideration for his clients’ welfare, irrepressible humour and capability on the roads make him the perfect companion for such a tour.”
