The most memorable was seeing Blue Whales live, they are so big! Learning about the Tea industry and how best Tea is made at Amba Estate. Beautiful private waterfalls in the Hillside Country. Sigiriya Fortress / Rock and Dambulla Cave Temples. Beautiful beaches in Tangalle and Bentota. Too many!! (more)Anamaria Tudoran

Combination of nature and culture. Having a competent guide with us for all our activities as a family. (more)Jens Brümmer

Fantastic (more)Sally-Anne Wilson

The wonderful food and gentle people! (more)Colette Carbonell

Most memorable was climbing Lion Rock (Sigiriya) which we'd read about - but it's nothing compared to when you get there. The view from afar is amazing... beautiful country, brilliant tour guide. (more)Emma Bacon

Difficult to choose one memorable part - probably the visit to Sigiriya rock - unlike anything I have seen anywhere else. Probably followed by seeing the local fishermen working on the beach at Negombo. (more)Christine Cook

Fantastic...Seeing wild elephants against a background of lush forest and wild flowers was a photographic wonder. (more)Dave Currey

Seeing so much great wildlife and landscapes. Spectacular. Superb. (more)Gill Bowles

Seeing blue whales was the most memorable. Brilliantly organised with lots of variation in hotels and places to see. Safe and friendly driver/guide. (more)Mike Slate

It was all exciting really from the beautiful beachside hotels to the wildlife parks. At Palagama beach the food was amazing especially when I was shown their own vegetable garden and we picked fresh vegetables that were cooked as individual curries for my dinner that evening. I felt as if I had been away for at least a month - I had seen and done so much in that two weeks. (more)Susie Barrett

Excellent trip (more)Melanie Michel

There were many memorable moments - we loved the incredible bird life especially seeing them close-up in the bird sanctuary. (more)Gabi Tubbs

We were looking for a holiday to remember as a family and a country to explore which would provide a treasure of memories and we were not disappointed. (more)Jane Tosetti

This was the most fantastic holiday. I was not that keen on going, but my husband is a very keen birder and he really wanted to go. I am now so glad he persuaded me, and will definitely visit Sri Lanka again... (more)John Diley

This was a really excellent holiday. We had fun, we were stimulated, we were educated and we made good friends with our locals who showed us their country. We also feel that we had excellent value for money with two locals, a new vehicle, most meals, all entrance fees and other extras included for a very inexpensive daily rate. (more)Keith Pigdon

It was great and our guide, Jith, was an incredible birder, funny, and generous. The most memorable was the smiles of all the people in Sri Lanka whom we passed in our bird walks and the children who got all excited and waved and called to us (more)Gisela Meyn

The highlight was staying in Ella and walking in the hill country and snorkelling in the Maldives. Very good, loved the Maldives. (more)Annmarie Woodcraft

The most memorable part of our holiday was snorkelling in the Maldives. It was amazing to see sharks, fish and sea turtles on the reef. It was a surreal experience...Overall, I would rate our holiday 10/10. We had a great time in all the countries we visited, the locals were very friendly and hospitable. (more)Tracy Watson

Flying in a seaplane over the Maldives and landing in the lagoon by Filitheyo Island where we spent an amazing week was the most memorable part. (more)Greg Harris

Memorable parts? We especially loved the second day of our tour, when we climbed the Sigiriya rock fortress in the morning, had a traditional lunch in a village near Habarana and interacted with the villagers in the afternoon, then saw elephants in Minneriya National Park in the evening. It was a perfect combination of everything that Sri Lanka has to offer. We also really enjoyed the campfire dinner at Big Game Camp in Udawalawe National Park. Tips? Check with the tour company what... (more)Roxana Feier

Fantastic. A holiday we will all remember for always. (more)Chandra Whear

Whale Watching and Wildlife Safari was the most memorable part of this trip (more)Phil Miller

The accommodation was the most luxurious, most welcoming, most helpful place we have ever stayed in; and the walks through the tea estate with idyllic views of the reservoir and surrounding hills, both relaxing and inspiring. (more)Ruth Le Guen

The most memorable was visiting Anuradhapura with my excellent guide Kapil and the Buddhist Temples during Vesak Poya (one of the main Buddhist holidays celebrating the birth, enlightenment and death of the Buddha) with serene Sri Lankan pilgrims all dressed in white and poya lanterns lining the roads floating in the breeze - truly magical.

I booked with Jith, who helped in every way he could, to make it a great trip, in particular when we had to change flights and plan. His driver, Upali, was wonderful and made sure that my time in Sri Lanka was as good as possible. He gave me lots of information about Sri Lanka, the people, history and country. (more)Karen Pedersen

Memorable parts? Too many to mention - getting to go to the North - Jaffna and Delft, the Ancient cities of Anuradhapura and Polonnuaruwa. the peaceful and beautiful beaches on the East and South coasts. The amazing temples and quirky workshops - paper products from elephant dung and a whole array of products from coconut husks. The safari parks and all the drivers and guides. Especially my main guide and driver - Harry. Tips? Go with an open mind and be flexible. It is a beautiful... (more)Fiona Bardsley

Memorable parts? Gal Oya National Park, where just the two of us and our guides were able to watch 5-6 different herds of elephants quietly feeding approximately 300 m away. We were the only people present and we did not disturb the animals; furthermore, we did not feel rushed but were able to simply enjoy the experience. Wasgamuwa National Park was also worth visiting; this park is not well-frequented by tourists and so the guides and drivers seemed to genuinely value our presence there.... (more)Laura Ruykys

Our holiday was a lifetime experience in a lot of ways. We had so many great moments and would not have managed to do so much without the opportunity of our own chaffeur guide. Ash was a star! (more)David Carter
