- KKat· November 22nd, 2024Rhi was the most amazing travel guide. For the entire trip she went above and beyond to make sure we all got the best out of our time in Sri Lanka. She was filled with hidden gems for us to explore and plenty of local knowledge in the areas we visited. Not only was she fantastic at organising and coordinating all of our travel so we could sit back and relax, she is also extremely caring and wants to make sure everyone is enjoying their trip. I don't think my tour would have been as amazing and as much fun if we didn't get Rhi as our guide!Show moreContiki commented on this reviewThank you so much for sharing your wonderful experience with us.

- ESElizabeth· April 24th, 2024Rhi is the best. Period. Shes literally the whole package. She’s organized, thoughtful, knowledgeable, on top of all things, always ten steps ahead and anticipating the groups needs, a killer problem solver and most of all, probably one of the coolest, funniest people I’ve ever met. Sri Lanka was amazing but with Rhi as our fearless leader, Sri Lanka will be unforgettable! We love you Rhi!!!Show moreTrip date: December 2023
- SGSophie· April 23rd, 2024A wonderful trip where I made memories I will always treasure. And Rhi was a big part of that. She made sure the group was on time to planned trips, while having a good time and bringing good vibes. She made an effort to individually talk to everyone and find out about them on the trip, which didn’t get unnoticed. It’s the little things. Along with being super funny and informative. A beautiful country, a great tour manager and guide and a good group of people - couldn’t have asked for more.Show moreContiki commented on this reviewThank you for reviewing your adventure with us.
