Private Sri Lanka Tours and Day Trips

We got back yesterday from a two-day tour with an overnight stay at the Elephant Bay hotel and a climb up Sigiriya (choose this rock for the climb). It was AMAZING!!!! WONDERFUL!!! The best tour!!! Our guide Denis (Dinesh) was 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 with photos and videos! Every location on the tour was chosen very thoughtfully, and everything felt heartfelt! A special thank you to our driver Shalinda, who got us there safely and with a bit of a thrill! Memories for a year ahead, maybe for a lifetime! These two days felt like we had travelled for a week through different countries, with different climates, nature and architecture, all in one place on a small island, Sri Lanka.

Thrilled with the “Heart of Sri Lanka” tour! It was a beautifully organized trip. We saw an incredible number of sights and soaked up the atmosphere of this amazing country. A special thank you for helping us with the highlight of our trip: a marriage proposal at the top of Sigiriya! Your help choosing the perfect moment and place among one of the wonders of the world made the day truly unforgettable. A special mention goes to our night at Mountain Heavens hotel. Waking up, stepping onto the balcony and seeing elephants wandering below was wonderful! Most of all, what made the trip perfect was our guide Yasir, the soul of the trip :) He shared 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, 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 two-day “Heart of the Island Sri Lanka” tour! Other reviews have already said everything about the tour itself, so we would like to describe the impressions we got thanks to our guide Yasir and driver Usama. A few words about the road: the car was comfortable and new, and the air conditioning saved us the whole way. Despite the winding mountain roads, the driver followed all the traffic rules, like a European driver. But a special thanks goes to Yasir. He helped us with every little question along the way. He is very caring and attentive. When someone tried to sell us something expensive, he took us to another place where the same thing was cheaper. At the tea factory, the tasting was supposed to include 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 inexpensive places where we could get tasty food and fruit. Yasir is also a very interesting person. We chatted about his country’s culture and compared it with ours for both days. His language skills are excellent. He is deeply knowledgeable and speaks several languages. He even gets the memes :) To our surprise, Yasir changed up our programme. At the end of the second day, we had time to visit a village where we were shown traditional village life and customs, and we were treated to traditional food and sweets. We even got to crack a coconut 🥥 And we must mention that Yasir is a professional photographer. The photos in this message are his. We are now pulling up at 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!
