“Jag var soloresenär och var på Sri Lanka under en kort tid vilket gjorde att den här trippen blev perfekt! Man hinner se mycket under kort tid och man får en gemenskap med dem man reser med. Vår guide Ranga var fantastisk! han är verkligen mån om att vi alla hade det bra och gjorde det lilla extra för att det skulle bli så bra som möjligt. Dessutom är han en grym fotograf och chaufför. på det hela taget var det en resa som överträffade mina förväntningar.”

Review of Sri Lanka’s 2-day Sinharaja, Udawalawe, Ella, and Nuwara Eliya tour, with safari tips, train advice, costs, and drawbacks.

“We had an amazing experience exploring the diverse aspects of Sri Lanka, much of which was made possible by our driver, Jayweera. His insights greatly enriched our journey, providing us not only with fascinating details about Sri Lankan history and culture but also with practical advice on how to optimally manage our time. This allowed us to fully immerse ourselves in the experiences each destination offered. Before our trip, we had concerns about navigating the challenging roads of Sri Lanka. However, Jayweera customised the journey for us so that we spent minimal time on the road, maximising our opportunity to enjoy the sights and sounds of this beautiful country. Jayweera's…”

★★★★★★★★★★3.8 · 6 reviews · 2 days · from $292

See blue whales near Mirissa, Galle Fort, Bentota mangroves, beaches, temples, and turtles on this two-day Sri Lankan coast tour.

“The tour was everything I had expected and envisioned it to be - we had a very friendly and knowledgeable guide, who explained to us certain histories and information about the places we passed, or was going to. He made sure we were well settled into our hotel for the night, and was ready to help us at any of the other excursions. I really enjoyed the river cruise - as I did not know what to expect, and saw the amazing wildlife the mangroves had to offer us! My only complaint is that the hotel room we stayed at had very little air conditioning, and the room and bathroom…”

“Transport car was very old, uncomfortable for 2 days your. No charger. The van is probably 20 + years old. The lunch was included but only contained and old banana, white bread sandwiches with really nothing inside. No coffee at 5 am. We had to spend our own money to buy lunch. The driver was an old gentleman almost 70’years old. He was trying to do a good job but it was very hard for him. He wanted to rest and sleep and we were not feeling safe to drive with him due to a very hazard roads and crazy traffic where people drive without any rules. For $600 per…”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 3 reviews · 2 days · from $297

Explore Sigiriya, Polonnaruwa, Dambulla, Pidurangala, and Minneriya on a fast-paced 2-day Sri Lanka cultural tour from Colombo.

“I managed to fit 5 historical/cultural sites, 2 activities and 3 shops into my 36 hour tour - probably assisted by the fact that I ended up being the only one on the tour. There is a lot to do in this part of Sri Lanka - I had a wonderful time. I found Jayaweera a really great guide – very helpful and willing to pack everything into a very short time. I would definitely recommend him. Just so you know - if you want the guide to show you around Sigiriya, you need to pay for their entrance fee as well as your own. Might not be worth it.”
