“Our entire experience with Tikalanka was very positive and I would not hesitate to recommend (I already have). We had a lovely time in Sri Lanka. All went well. Thank you for all your efforts for me.”

“Thank you so much for creating the most wonderful itinerary for us. It was personal, meeting our requests, and arranging excellent accommodation. And for arranging an excellent guide who actually 'makes' the holiday. Over the course of many months preparing our visit we received three itineraries from three different companies. We subsequently found your company mentioned in the Rough Guide. These three were nowhere near the exceptional itinerary, and personal care we received from you.”

“We had a fabulous holiday. Thank you for listening to our requirements and helping to plan this perfect time away. The information provided before hand was also very useful (travel tips [Tika Tips], Tika [Travel] Troth). Everybody loved Ravi! He was very professional, but also very friendly and easy to be around. We felt well looked after, and he arranged extra activities for us. His wildlife spotting was second to none!”

“Loved all of the hotels. Ravi was lovely, excellent driver [guide] – considerate, and had initiative. Well presented and helpful. He had a good knowledge of wildlife and birds, and a good eye. Thank you for your assistance, John. Communication with Mahesh in Kandy was good. We’re considering doing a trip in 2028 with our adult kids / partners / grandkids.”
