Our guide was wonderful. We saw everything we wanted and skipped what we didn’t want to see It’s a long day. Make sure you have time.

It is a long day, but Dana made the journey very comfortable and was very helpful. The turtle conservation tour was very interesting. And, whilst initially I was not sure I wanted to do the boat safari, it turned out to be a highlight.

Our day started with excellent communication from our guide Lal as to where we would be collected. He took us on a long and varied tour and was very attentive to our needs. Lal made sure we saw everything described in the itinerary. I think we had a very good overview of Sri Lanka in what was quite a short time as we were coming off a cruise ship. Many thanks.

WE DID NOT SEE THE SALT FISHERMEN. DO NOT DO THIS TRIP FROM COLUMBIO We paid for this tour that included several stops. On meeting the representative (who was simply the taxi driver but was very honest and nice) he said this tour is not possible to complete in full due to the time constraints. the initial stop was 2.5 hours away from the ship in columbo. we only did the boat trip (additional money plus allegator/crocodile hatchery was a tiny new born who was passed around(. we asked the driver to take us back to the ship. the booking stated bottled water, free WiFi, comfortable car...none of which was had

First, our guide was wonderful. We really enjoyed being with him. Unfortunately we were unable to do the tour. I spoke to the person who books the tours and told him we were in port from this time to that time. I asked if we could do this tour within this time period. He sent me a text “note taken”. Never told me the drive alone was 3 hours each way. Told me absolutely nothing about not being able to do the tour. Our guide picked us up as planned and told us we did not have enough time to do the tour. It was very upsetting because we were looking forward to doing this tour since we saw a lot of the places on the amazing race. Instead we had to do a city tour which was no fault of our guide but the owner of this company. So be careful when booking so what happened to us doesn’t happen to you.

We had a wonderful day at Galle! It was quite hot so we did skip a few sights but we enjoyed whatever we had seen. Mr Lal was a great guide. He shared local insights and was very accommodating!

Lal who was our guide added to the beauty and magnificence of all the sites we saw. He was exceptionally personable and made this one of the best stories we had ever been on. He made sure that we were not only delighted with the day overall but with each stop and what made it a once in a lifetime must see and experience. Simply visiting Columbo in Sri Lanka is not enough. Not only must you take this tour you must insist on Lal as your partner and guide.

We had an excellent day trip exploring Southern Sri Lanka from Colombo. kumaragelal was professional, punctual, and incredibly knowledgeable about the country’s history, culture, and hidden gems. He made the entire journey smooth and enjoyable, pointing out important landmarks, sharing interesting stories, and always making sure we were comfortable

Although the content of this trip was very good the guide and vehicle were inadequate. The vehicle was totally unsuitable for four Seniors with one having to squeeze into the back in a child’s seat. The guide spoke very poor English and gave no commentary on what we saw and he was very sleepy on the way back to the cruise ship which made for a white knuckle ride. We had to pay for some of the contents that was noted on the excursion as being included. Just one example was the stilt fisherman, a sight that we were really looking forward to. it became apparent that this trip was not as it should be after speaking to one couple who did the same trip and had an excellent time.

The driver did not follow the itinerary . We Missed the stilt fishermen experience and the lunch at the beach…….. he took us to a restaurant near madu river. The whole experience was spoilt because we did not get what we expected. Not recommended
