Nuwara Eliya Tea Plantations: How to Get There and What to See

We got back yesterday from the two-day tour with an overnight stay at Elephant bay hotel and the climb to Sigiriya (this is the mountain to choose for the climb). It was AMAZING!!!! WONDERFUL!!! The best tour!!! Our guide Denis (Dinesh) is a genius. He kept us laughing the whole way, told us the history of Sri Lanka, answered all our questions, shared lots of interesting facts and helped us with photos and videos! All the locations on the tour were chosen very thoughtfully, and everything felt warm and personal! A special thanks to our driver Shalinda, who got us there safely and in style! Emotions enough for a year, maybe for a lifetime! Those two days felt like we had travelled for a week through different countries, with different climates, nature and architecture, all in one place on the small island of Sri Lanka.

I'm thrilled with the Heart of Sri Lanka tour! It was a beautifully organized journey. We saw an incredible number of sights and felt truly immersed in the atmosphere of this amazing country. A special thank you for helping us with the most important moment of our trip: a marriage proposal at the top of Sigiriya. Your help choosing the perfect moment and place among the wonders of the world made the day truly unforgettable. A special mention goes to the night at Mountain Heavens hotel. In the morning, stepping out onto the balcony and seeing elephants wandering below was simply beautiful. The main thing that made the trip perfect was our guide Yasir, the heart of the tour! He described every sight with great charm, knew the best angles for photos and anticipated our wishes. His care, attentiveness and great sense of humour created a truly friendly and comfortable atmosphere. We felt completely safe and as if we were travelling with an old friend. Thank you to Yasir and the whole team! We will definitely recommend you to our friends!

Sharing our impressions on the way home from the wonderful two-day tour "Heart of the Island Sri Lanka"! Other reviews have already said everything about the tour itself, so we'd like to describe the impressions we got thanks to our guide Yasir and our driver Usama. A few words about the road: the car was comfortable and new, the air conditioning saved us the whole way, and despite the winding mountain roads the driver followed every traffic rule, like a European driver. But a special thank you to Yasir. He helped us with every little question along the way. He is very caring and attentive. When we were being pushed to buy something expensive, he took us to another place where the same thing was sold for less. At the tea factory during the tasting, we were offered only one type of tea. Yasir stood up for us, and in the end we got to try all the varieties. On the way, he showed us many affordable places where we could get tasty food and fruit. Yasir also turned out to be a very interesting person. We chatted for both days about the culture of his country and compared it with ours. His language skills are excellent, he is deeply knowledgeable and a polyglot too. He even gets the memes! To our surprise, Yasir changed up our programme. At the end of the second day we managed to stop at a village where we were shown traditional village life and customs, and fed traditional food and sweets. We even got to break a coconut 🥥 And it would be a sin not to mention that Yasir is a professional photographer. The photos you see in this message are his. We are now approaching our villa to rest after such a full and emotional programme. Many thanks to the organizers, Yasir, Usama and the local people of Sri Lanka!

We are simply thrilled with the one-day YALA SAFARI + ELLA tour! It was an incredible adventure that left us with a flood of vivid memories. We especially want to mention our guide Ishar. He was simply wonderful! Ishar is a true professional. He speaks excellent English and has deep knowledge of the history, culture and nature of Sri Lanka. Thanks to him, the tour was not just a sightseeing trip but an exciting journey into the world of this amazing country. The safari in Yala National Park impressed me the most. Four hours flew by in a blink! We saw a huge number of wild animals: majestic elephants, a leopard (it was truly incredible!), deer, buffalo, monkeys, crocodiles, monitor lizards and many beautiful birds. Ishar and the safari driver skilfully found the most interesting spots and told us about the animals' habits, which made the safari even more exciting. Ravana Falls, Little Adam's Peak, the Nine Arches Bridge, the train ride and the tea plantation were all lovely, but the Yala safari was the real highlight of the tour. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see the real Sri Lanka and have unforgettable experiences. And be sure to ask for Ishar as your guide (by the way, he is from Belarus)! You won't regret it. Thank you for a wonderful day!

We've just returned from the 🗿Galle Fort + 🛶 River Safari tour! It was wonderful! I recommend it to everyone! Of course, so much of a tour depends on the guide. Ours was beyond praise! His name is MANO. He speaks excellent English, knows the history of Sri Lanka very well, answers all questions, makes subtle, well-timed jokes and takes professional photos. In a word, we are very happy with both the organization of the tour and how it was run! A special thank you to the driver too! The tour itself is fire! 🔥🔥🔥 We liked absolutely everything!!! THANK YOU!

Hello! We chose the one-day Kandy tour. It turned out to be very interesting and full of experiences, and it was led by a professional English-speaking guide, Denish. Denish is a very friendly, knowledgeable and conscientious guide with a great sense of humour. We are sure that if you want an unforgettable trip and lots of knowledge and impressions about Sri Lanka, you should definitely book with this company! You won't be bored, that's for sure
