The whole experience was incredible, everyone was so friendly and welcoming, especially with our guide Numesha, he is very kindhearted, always taking care of us all the time. And because of the flooding lately here, many roads were blocked and we have to go to our hotel in Kandy, thanks to him, drove us to our hotel safely and warmly👍😊 Really highly recommended to book this tour and every activites/views worth it.

I placed my order on this platform just one day in advance and flew from Singapore to Sri Lanka the next day. Janani from Ceylon Paradise Tours contacted me quickly and efficiently arranged a driver-guide. Before departure, she patiently adjusted the itinerary based on my preferences, which made me feel reassured from the start. During the 7-day trip, my driver-guide Chammika took great care of me, ensuring everything went smoothly. He is professional, friendly, and attentive. He clearly arranged both the hill-country and coastal train experiences and handled all logistics well. When I slightly injured my wrist at a wild elephant eco-park, he immediately bought ointment for me. He drove safely, helped with photos, and kept the car clean and comfortable every day. Overall, this was a relaxing and enjoyable trip. I highly recommend them for a safe and worry-free travel experience.

I had a wonderful weekend with Mr. Hasi, my tour guide, he take care of everything. The Sigiriya Lion Rock's guide, im not sure if they have long term coorporation, he took very beautiful picture for me where i have never seen any other ppl post the same angle/positon picture. Mr. Hasi able to adjust the itinerary according to the situation or timing which suit me.

Despite the devastation from the recent cyclone, Sri Lanka stole our hearts. Our travel team did an amazing job rerouting us away from the storm-hit regions so we could still enjoy the best the country has to offer. From the wild adventures in Yala and the Elephant Safari to the stunning views in Ella and the ancient wonders of Sigiriya and Dambulla, every moment was special. The cutural show at Kandy was also delightful. We finished with a feast of fresh seafood at Mirissa Beach! Our guide, Sachi, truly went above and beyond to take care of us. An unforgettable trip.

I chose a five-day tour this time, and I really want to express my sincere thanks to my guide, Udara. He is a thoughtful and gentlemanly person with excellent English. Whenever I wanted to change the plan or visit other places, he was always willing to coordinate and made everything go smoothly. He paid great attention to the road conditions, carefully driving over bumps to ensure a comfortable ride. He also checked on me from time to time to make sure I was enjoying myself and feeling relaxed. The whole trip was well arranged and seamless. During these five days, I truly felt safe, relaxed, and happy. The weather was wonderful, the people were kind, and the scenery was beautiful—everything made this journey especially memorable. Thank you, Udara. Thank you, my friend.

The location is very accessible to all places. The staff are very helpful and friendly. They make sure we are comfortable staying with the hotel and always check us if we have concerns and need help. Although breakfast is not that good, hopefully they can improve the breakfast.
