Ella and Diyaluma Falls — private tour

We got back yesterday from a two-day tour with an overnight stay at Elephant Bay hotel and a climb to Sigiriya (choose this rock for the climb). It was AMAZING!!!! WONDERFUL!!! Best tour ever!!! Our guide Dinesh was a genius. He made us laugh 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! All the stops on the tour were chosen really well, and everything felt warm and personal! Special thanks to our driver Shalinda, who got us there safely and in style! We'll have memories for a year, maybe for life! Those two days felt like a week of travelling through different countries, with different climates, nature and architecture, all in one place on a small island, Sri Lanka.

We loved the "Heart of Sri Lanka" tour! It was a beautifully organised trip! We saw an incredible number of sights and were immersed in the atmosphere of an amazing country. Special thanks for helping us with the most important moment of our trip: a proposal at the top of Sigiriya! Your help choosing the perfect moment and spot among one of the wonders of the world made the day truly unforgettable. A special highlight was the night at Mountain Heavens hotel. Waking up, stepping onto the balcony and seeing elephants wandering below was wonderful! What made the trip perfect was our guide Yasir, the life of the tour :) He shared every sight with great charm. He knew all the best angles for photos and anticipated what we wanted before we asked. His care, attentiveness and great sense of humour made the trip feel genuinely friendly and comfortable. 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!

We're sharing our impressions on the way home from the two-day "Heart of Sri Lanka" tour! Other reviews have already said everything about the tour itself, so we'd like to describe our experience, which was thanks entirely to our guide Yasir and our driver Usama. A few words about the road: the car was comfortable and new, and the air con was a lifesaver the whole way. Despite the winding mountain roads, the driver followed all the traffic rules, like a European driver. But we're especially grateful to Yasir. He helped us with every little question throughout the trip. He is a very caring and attentive person. When someone tried to sell us something expensive, he took us to another place where the same thing was cheaper. At the tea factory, they planned to give us only one type of tea during the tasting. Yasir stood up for us, and in the end we got to try all the varieties. On the way, he showed us lots of inexpensive places where we could get tasty food and fruit. Yasir was also a very interesting person. We chatted about his country's culture and compared it with ours over both days. His English is excellent, and 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 got to visit a village where we were shown traditional customs and way of life, and we were fed traditional food and sweets. We were even allowed to crack a coconut 🥥 And we have to mention that Yasir is a professional photographer. In fact, the photos you see in this message are his. We're now almost at our villa, where we'll rest after such an intense and emotional programme. Many thanks to the organisers, Yasir, Usama and the local people of Sri Lanka!
