Sri Lanka Tours

"Had a great time on the train from Kandy to Ella - it was great to see Sri Lanka’s beauty during the 6 hour journey. Everyone is looking out of the window for a reason! There are vendors selling refreshments so you won’t be short and the rail staff are helpful getting bags on and off and also letting you know which coach you are in. Mahaweli Tours and Holidays helped us sort the tickets and dropped them off to the hotel in a timely manner and were also on hand to help out with questions we had about the journey!"

"A really great day trip out to Galle from Colombo. The highlight of the day was definitely seeing the turtle hatchery and seeing the Dutch colonial town of Galle."

"Our day trip to Ella was an amazing experience. We got the best service in advance and our guide Silva made it a perfect day. We did a train ride over the famous Nine Arch Bridge and visited it, went up to little Adam’s Peak with a stunning view and swim at a beautiful waterfall. In between we had time and chances for Lunch and shopping. We can highly recommend this tour!"

"Great day trip! Was a long but fun day with a lot to see. The guides were great and very knowledgeable and made sure the itinerary was what we wanted and expected"

"Everything super organized! Highly recommended! The driver was so hospitable and friendly! We had a great time!"

"What an amazing day! I had a great time celebrating Christmas with this company. The tour guide was amazing and very personable. His English was perfect. I also asked if they would drop me off in Kandy instead and they did for a fair price. The manager of this company is awesome as well. He is well organized and very accommodating. He asks you throughout the day how the tour is going and he makes sure you’re taken care of. The only issue was that the site tickets were not included. That’s fine but I did not know the prices of each site I had to go to the ATM 3 times in 1 day. Other than that we had an amazing day! We also saw elephants in their natural habitat! They also offer additional services such as ride transfers and the price was fair as well. It was about the same price as PickMe, which is Sri Lanka’s version of Uber."

"Excellent service! After the booking, owner Mr Manju contacted me in a timely manner to confirm pick up time and itinerary, since we have an extra 20 hours free time after the tour concludes. At the airport, we met with Manju’s staff and our driver Mr Sugath for the 8 days tour. Sugath drove professionally and provided tips and historical background of each destination. The company provided some excellent choices of hotels but the hotel food are a bit touristy. We wanted authentic Sri Lankan food by Day 3 and Sugath gladly took us to sample local cuisine, highlights include Balaji Dosai in Kandy, street food, and fruit vendors along roads and highways. The company is also very flexible with the itinerary and tailored to customers’ requests. Instead of watching touristy dance shows and boat rides, we did some online research and opted for longer stop at selected Buddhist sites and more free time in Kandy, Nuwara Eliya (there’s a historical post office that offers DIY stamps!), Ella, Mirissa, Galle Fort, and Colombo. We also had a very special request to watch how the famous Ceylon Cinnamon are harvested (not in the itinerary). Mr Sugath was extremely helpful, asked many locals along the streets for such a bizarre yet educational request, and and finally found a cinnamon farmer who is willing to demonstrate and explain the whole process. It was eye-opening! On the last day before heading to the airport and bid farewell, we had a chance to stop by Colombo for last minute souvenir/tea/spices shopping at local supermarkets - Keells and Cargills FoodCity, and a great dinner (not included in the tour) at Gallery Cafe - the sister restaurant of Tintagel Colombo - the hotel that hosted then-Prince Charles and Prince William!"

"A fabulous trip. Very good ship, The guide was good and English is also good. As a whole a memorable trip. Viator is costly compared to others but the ship was good and the pick up and drop me off to my hotel. Luckily we saw around 15 whales, 3 were very prominent. We need to require to go deep in the sea, the whales were waiting for us at close by area."

"100% in point. Best guide we could have hope for. Knowledge was incredible. Best experience. Thank you Sri Lanka"

"Brilliant day trip Saw elephants leopards mongoose Attentive driver and knowledgable guide Great lunch in picture perfect setting"

"Excellent excursion, must see places. Our guide Diyath was punctual and gave us a lot of information. He even climbed the Lion Rock with us."

"I had a great time exploring Colombo with Tharaka (driver) he is incredibly knowledgable and diligent in showing the key sights of the city. He was also open to spending more/less time at specific sights depending on personal interests and would even add stops if preferred. We visited a Buddhist Temple, Independence Square and a great spot for lunch, we also had several ‘pass by’ landmarks that Tharaka explained as well as lots of general information about Sri Lanka and Colombo. I was staying in Negombo and Tharaka was kind enough to add in a short tour of Negombo City and surrounding area between the city and my hotel which really helped me to get orientated. 100% would recommend this tour for its information and flexibility of delivery"

"Great day out despite the heavy rain. My guide Dimuth was fantastic, great fun and he really made the day enjoyable."
