Sri Lanka

I had an amazing experience with this private tuk-tuk tour in Colombo! My transport from Kalutara was delayed, so I arrived about 30 minutes late, and my drop-off location also changed unexpectedly. But my guide was incredibly kind and flexible, even coming to pick me up at the new location. Despite the limited time, he took me to many places, including historical landmarks, Lotus Tower, a Ceylon tea shop, and some beautiful hidden gems. He also shared fascinating insights about Sri Lanka’s history, culture, and current situation, which made the tour much more meaningful. After the tour, he even helped me find an affordable direct bus to the airport. He took me to another terminal when the first one was full and made sure I could get to the airport on time for my 11 PM flight. Highly recommended! He was knowledgeable, helpful, flexible, and genuinely cared about making my experience in Colombo memorable. Definitely one of the best decisions I made in Sri Lanka!

I'm satisfied that I was finally able to visit Sigiriya Rock, which I had always wanted to see. However, the entrance fee listed beforehand must have been an old price, as it was very expensive; the safari jeep and admission alone cost over 14,000 yen. Also, we ended up stopping at a herb garden that wasn't mentioned in the itinerary. The guide was kind and explained in advance about the ticket prices and that we were free to buy or not buy anything, but it seems that a portion of the herb garden's sales goes to the guide. Although the guide was a very good person, I assume this was the itinerary set by the tour company. I wish the prices had been updated. Since I also made purchases at the herb garden, I ended up spending about three times more than I had anticipated.

Meillä oli upea aika, oppaamme varmisti, että näimme tarpeeksi kilpikonnia ja auttoi meitä koko ajan hengityksen kanssa sekä otti kuviamme veden alla. Hän vei meidät turvallisesti sisälle jopa katsomaan koralliriuttoja. Suosittelemme ehdottomasti heidän palveluitaan.

Tämä on todella hyvä safarikokemus, ja opas on todella kärsivällinen ja ystävällinen. Hän ottaa aina toiveeni huomioon ja on todella taitava etsimään eläimiä. Näimme paljon eläimiä, emme vain norsuja (joita muuten oli todella paljon), vaan myös muuta eläimistöä. Suosittelen tätä ehdottomasti!

We went to Yala National park today with Srizara. We had Lucky come with us as a naturalist and guide for the day. We had a great experience and were able to see all the animals on our list including the leopard with the opportunity to take great photos. We couldn’t have hoped for a better day thank you 🙂.

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! 😊

Eranda ja Chamoth ylittivät odotuksemme. Ystävällisiä, ammattitaitoisia ja lahjakkaita. Valokuva- ja videopaketin lisämaksun 6 000 LKR arvosta oli ehdottomasti sen arvoista. Suosittelen lämpimästi! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

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! 🐆🐅🐘

Ohjaaja: Pystyimme kommunikoimaan vain yksinkertaisella englannilla, mutta se ei haitannut, ja keskustelut sujuivat hyvin. Hän oli myös erittäin ystävällinen. Kokemus: Emme nähneet valaita, mutta näimme paljon delfiinejä. Paikka: Maisemat olivat todella kauniit ja paikka oli muutenkin hyvä.

It was such an amazing safari experience! A huge thank you to our guide and driver, Naleem, for making sure we got to see all the animals in the national park. He truly made the whole experience so memorable. Definitely the best guide and driver we could have asked for! 🐘

If you like the nature, this tour is for you. Unlucky we couldn't see the Leopard today, but the guide tried a lot.
