- DCDenise· April 12th, 2025Sri Lanka in 8 Days Tour March 2025. Our primary purpose for visiting Sri Lanka was to visit Sigiriya rock which we did, and it was awesome, so goal accomplished. Here is my feedback about the rest of the tour: We did not visit “beach, fish market and St. Mary’s church and other sites” in Negombo on Day 2. Nor did we visit Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage, unless that is merely a river/stream for them to bath in at the end of a street (not what we expected) although watching them bath was fun, but it was no orphanage and does not match the photos on their website. The wildlife jeep safari on Day 4 was great but ‘wildlife’ is a bit misleading since there were only elephants. We did not attend the late evening Cultural show in Kandy on Day 4 because the driver sidetracked us with ‘other’ activities, and we arrived with no time to buy tickets or use the washroom before the show started, so we decided to postpone until the following night (it was good). Note that these ‘other’ activities are not necessarily on your official itinerary and are not uncommon; many tours push these (my guess is because they get some sort of kickback). They may include things like spice gardens, gemstone shops, batik factory, perfume makers, papyrus manufacturers, wood carving and other handicraft shops, to mention a few. They do not always tell you up front that they will be taking you to these places. Since, according to the itinerary our tour can be customized, we finally told our driver that we had no intention of buying any of the items and did not want to go to any of these places. Dalada Maligawa (Temple of the holy Tooth Relic) in Kandy on Day 5 is a complete waste of time. You queue for over an hour, in a very crowded line with hundreds of people, only to “give an offering” (if you choose to) and ‘see’ nothing. Would have liked to have skipped that. There is a lot of driving, sometimes for hours, to get you to the next place and the next place. The city of Nuwara Eliya with all of the tea factories and plantations was beautiful but is at 6,000+ foot elevation with zig zag, winding roads, so if you are prone to car sickness you should be aware that it is a very long drive up and back the following day. “City tour” is mentioned multiple times in the official itinerary but should be defined. There were several times when our driver parked in the middle of town, we got out, walked around and came back to where he was parked when we were done. Is that a city tour? Most of the hotels were nice and the breakfasts were acceptable (the one in Kandy puts on an amazing spread for breakfast, while the one in Negombo served moldy toast). This was a private tour with same driver for entire trip. There were three of us in two rooms. One room typically had a king or queen sized bed and the other usually had a double bed and a twin bed or two double beds. The rooms with twin beds were, without exception, completely worn out but might have been ok for a child but were unacceptable for an adult. Overall the tour was, mostly, good and glad we went.Show moreTrip date: March 2025
