Colombo

I don't even know where to start. Zilan is just amazing and I booked the tour on my first day in Colombo which is the best idea I've ever had on this trip. I loved the tea tasting and the places we've been to. I did mention that I was trying to buy some gems for myself and he recommended a legit gem seller instead of me finding one myself. I almost gave up on that as I've no idea what exactly am I looking for gem. This guide texted me on time, very polite and punctual. He even offered to take me to the train station since I'm heading to Mirissa in the afternoon which is a bummer since I want to stay more in Colombo but my room booking is non refundable so I really have to go. He checked the train table it's better to just get on the bus since the next train is at 2pmsh and the bus is always available. He talked to the driver to let me get off at the nearest stop. Thank you Zilan! I wish you all the best and thanks for helping me pray for my family's health while at the temple.

This was our first time visiting Sri Lanka, and we really wanted to go on a safari. We booked just a day in advance, but they handled everything very kindly. We were also very grateful that they arrived right on time for our appointment. Our guide did his absolute best to give us a great safari experience. He took us to more places and spent more time than other groups, allowing us to see countless animals. We would like to thank him once again. If you come to Sri Lanka, you must definitely experience a safari, and be sure to book it here. You will create unforgettable memories.

originally we booked another tour with different operator but didn’t receive a response, we decided to check this one and thought maybe we wouldn’t be getting a response as we booked suddenly like 30 mins before the session. To my surprise our guide responded so fast and even picked us at our hotel on time. the tuktuk was very clean and tidy! Wow! not only that he managed to explain each destination so well and answered all our questions, I would say he’s one of the best tour guides i’ve ever had. we learned so much about Sri Lanka from this tour! Thank you so much mr Zilan, we had so much fun and would love to book again for our next Sri Lanka trip! definitely recommended!

Communication was excellent. The assigned travel agency text (WhatsApp) us a day prior to update us on entrance tickets and trip timings. It was very easy to communicate with them in English. Our driver was also very helpful. We really appreciated this because the journey took up to four hours one way. Unfortunately we could not climb Sigiriya due to the rain. Some travelers might be fine with it but we did not want to take the risk. The road condition from Colombo to Sigiriya is actually quite good. Tourists might just need to get used to their slightly adventurous driving style though!

Had an amazing day with Indika. It was a long ride but definitely worth it. 🐘

Sadeep, the local operator, who is also the snorkeling guide and expert was very thorough with everything. First, he suggested that we have to move our booking from 8:00 AM to 9:00 AM for better weather conditions of the trip, and glad we did! Secondly, he picked us up earlier 8:50 AM which was very nice. Thirdly, upon arriving at the area where we gonna do the activity, he explained everything: from the dos and donts, our snorkeling experiences, etc. Fourth, we saw a total of 3 turtles and it was a great experience! Lastly, Sadeep offered a king coconut as refreshments after the activity. It was fun, well guided trip and very affordable.

For my trip to Sri Lanka this time, I chose a 7-day luxury tour, handled by Ceylon Paradise Tours. The entire journey was wonderful! We visited many different places, and the hotels, transportation, and overall arrangements were excellent. The accommodations were very comfortable, and visiting the attractions went smoothly. Overall, I'm very satisfied. I especially want to thank my driver, Wasantha. He was incredibly amazing—very attentive, patient, and explained everything so well throughout the trip. He made sure to show me all the worthwhile sights, and basically fulfilled all my wishes for where to go and what to do. I hope he gets more tours! He's truly fantastic!!! Finally, I want to thank Ceylon Paradise Tours and driver Wasantha. This trip to Sri Lanka created so many golden memories. If I have the chance to visit Sri Lanka again, I'll definitely reach out to them for help. Highly recommend visiting Sigiriya and going on a safari! 🐆🐅🐘

Oshan and Imeth are professional guides. They are punctual for meetups. Since Sri Lanka’s weather can be unpredictable, the guides also monitor cloud forecasts to anticipate the weather and arrange the best itinerary for us, ensuring we don’t miss any attractions. They are also excellent photographers, capturing many priceless photos for us. Highly recommended.

We originally booked a tour for only the first day of our three-day trip, but Lakmal was so kind and the experience was so wonderful that we decided to book the remaining two days with him as well. Despite our last-minute request, he worked with the other staff members to create an itinerary that included all the places we wanted to visit. We were truly impressed by how well the entire team communicated and cooperated to make our trip special. One of our favorite experiences was visiting Sigiriya Village, where we enjoyed traditional food and learned about local village life. It was a memorable experience that allowed us to discover a way of life very different from our own. Thanks to Lakmal and the whole team, we were able to explore Sri Lanka safely and comfortably without any worries. Sri Lanka has become our favorite country out of all the places we have visited. Thank you so much for giving us such unforgettable memories!
