Amazing trip with Fazeel and Kelum!

5.00We had an incredible 6-day trip around Sri Lanka thanks to Fazeel and Kelum. Everything was organised so well from start to finish, which made the whole holiday easy and stress-free. Fazeel did a fantastic job planning our trip, with great hotels, restaurants and activity recommendations throughout. His local knowledge really made a difference and helped us get the best out of every stop. The highlights for us were climbing Sigiriya Rock, visiting the incredible Ambuluwawa Tower, and swimming in a hidden waterfall away from the crowds — an unforgettable experience and definitely one of the best parts of the trip. Kelum was an excellent driver, always professional and safe, with a clean and comfortable van for all our journeys. We made amazing memories and would highly recommend Fazeel and Kelum to anyone visiting Sri Lanka!

5.00I spent 3 days with Fazour and it was an amazing experience. He took great care of everything and guided me through Kandy, Pinnawala, Dambulla, and Sigiriya. At every site and monument, he explained the history in detail and also recommended other beautiful places to visit, though unfortunately I didn’t have enough time to see them all. I also want to thank Fazzel, who was equally outstanding. He made sure to create the experience exactly as I requested and always checked that everything was going smoothly, even when he was not physically with us. Truly professional and attentive. Both Fazour and Fazzel are wonderful , professional, caring, and dedicated. I highly recommend their agency for anyone visiting Sri Lanka.

5.00The tour experience was amazinf thanks to the perfect organization and very professional people. In 10 days, we explored all the beautiful places, ate the real special food (the best "rice & curry") and knew the local habits. All the things were well organized with the possibility to choose and visit new places based on the trip. Thanks again for all...
Great taste of Sri Lanka!

5.00Fazeel drove us all around Sri Lanka in a week and we squeezed a lot in! He was super helpful with helping us find last minute accom, and using local knowledge to both give us unique experiences and help us avoid unpleasant ones too! The little things like stopping over and buying us random fruit on the side of the road to give us a well rounded experience was the cherry on top!
One of the best

5.00Just came back from an amazing family vacation in Sri Lanka, and I have to give a huge shoutout to Fazeel for making the entire trip smooth, fun, and unforgettable. From the moment we arrived until the day we left, everything was well-organized and tailored to our preferences. Fazeel was professional, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable about all the places we visited. He made sure we were comfortable at all times and added local touches that made the experience even more authentic. Whether it was exploring cultural sites, enjoying scenic spots, or just finding good food along the way — he had it all covered. Highly recommend Fazeel if you’re planning a trip to Sri Lanka. He genuinely cares about making sure you have a great time, and that really shows. Thanks again for the memorable experience!

5.00We met Fazeel many years ago and did a whole week tour with him. It was the highlight of our trip to meet him. He is the funniest, kindest and most generous Sri Lankan we met! He showed us a lot of gems in his country and up to this day we still think of him with a big smile :) I recommended him before and I will forever do!!!!
