What an extraordinary tour with Super Guide Rushon. I have done several pub-crawl around Asia but this takes the honours. The places were surely not something I would ever have found myself. Tasting local beer, local food, and the popular arrack mixed with water. It all took place around the main railway station and the huge market area and ending at Dutch Hospital.

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! 🐆🐅🐘

I wanted to tour efficiently, so I booked a package. I had requested to stay at the Heritance Kandalama Hotel, known as Bawa's masterpiece, and the tour company changed the plan to arrange my stay there. They even went the extra mile and requested a room with a view of Sigiriya Rock from the hotel, and indeed, the room was perfect—I could see Sigiriya Rock right from my bed. The rest of the tour itinerary was also flexible; we could discuss it with the guide the day before, considering our energy levels. Our guide, Osha, was also excellent. It was a very fulfilling five days, and since it was a private tour, we were able to enjoy it comfortably. Tour Guide: Thank you, Osha! 😊

I loved this tour! It was private, flexible, and very relaxing. Sachi, my tour guide, was always kind and attentive, and made sure I was comfortable throughout the trip. I visited so many places and had so many great experiences in just two days. Thank you.

Had a wonderful experience exploring Colombo. I took the 8am option and my guide, Zilan, was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the experience truly enjoyable. I was offered a bottle of water too :) He does click amazing pictures so you need not worry if you are exploring this solo. A great way to discover the city's hidden gems and local charm. Highly recommend!

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 really enjoyed the tour, Zilan was very courteous and kind, and very knowledgeable about the history of SL. He was very considerate for my son and took extra step to make help us and make sure we are comfortable. He is also took some very nice pics of us. Highly recommended, and all the best to Zilan.
