m so excited to write this review about our experience with Sri Lanka, Beauty Lanka travels and our personal driver Gayan. It was a spectacular trip that much exceeded our expectations. We were truly impressed by the hospitality and beauty of this wonderful country and how “Beauty Lanka Travels” helped us on the way to make our memories unforgettable. We were very well followed right from our first contact with the company, who helped us to plan our trip in the most sufficient way. They’ve listened to our request and and at the same time corrected through the process. Our personal driver was Gayan and we couldn’t wish for a better driver. Since we traveled with three little children , safety and comfort was our top priority. We had a very comfortable Toyota minivan with air conditioning and plenty of space for us and our children. Roads in Sri Lanka are quite challenging and the traffic is not easy to navigate, while Gayan was always very careful with the speed, overtaking other cars and we could relax also during the drive. Gayan also was giving us the best tips during the trips on where and how to visit places in the most comfortable way. He also spoiled us all along the way with local delicious and fresh fruits, making kids super happy. All said above, we really recommend everyone to visit such a beautiful country and be followed by Beauty Lanka Travels and Gayan.
This tour was exactly what I needed! In 7 days we saw the enormous amount of attractions and activities, ate wonderful food (that was made less spicy for my European tongue;), met amazing and friendly Sri Lankan people. All of this was guided by the fantastic Indra, who made our experience smooth and flawless. We were able to choose the activities we wanted to do and skip the ones we didn’t really fancy. This experience made me want to return to Sri Lanka as soon as possible and I will definitely be asking for Indra as a guide. Indra was the best guide and carer one could ask for. He provided everything and anything we wanted. A truly amazing guide with passion to provide the best experience. We saw his love for Sri Lanka and the way he wanted to share it with us. He’s truly one in a million! Make sure you do: elephant safari, cooking class in Ella, snorkelling with the turtles, visit the 9 arches bridge, strawberry bar, tea factory, woodcarving place and everything else!!!
The tour was incredible and well paced to see as much as Sri Lanka as possible during the 8 days. We opted for the private tour. The itinerary was well thought out and allowed for some down time as well as seeing the sights. Our tour guide, Janaka, was a very safe and reliable driver who was very patient and always offered to take photos for us. At busy sights, he ensured that we always had the best view and knew where to go to ensure that we experienced everything to the max. He also took us to authentic places for food, enabling us to taste Sri Lanka. We would definitely recommend the tour.
Our 8-day private tour of Sri Lanka wasn't just a holiday; it was a deeply enriching cultural journey, and that's almost entirely thanks to our exceptional guide Kanishka. From the moment he greeted us at the airport until our farewell, Kanishka transformed a great itinerary into a truly unforgettable experience. If you're looking for a comprehensive, stress-free, and profoundly personalised exploration of the island, this is the way to do it—and definitely ask for Kanishka.
Overall we loved the tour and our time in Sri Lanka. The locations were beautiful and activities were fun for the whole family. The hotels were clean and had good service. Our tour guide Nilantha was superb - a very patient and diligent man. He made our trip stress free, which we greatly appreciate. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone new to Sri Lanka and wanting to explore this country's beauty.
