    Had an amazing time on this trip. Sri Lanka is a beautiful country and on the trip, you get to experience the gorgeous coastline, amazing hikes with stunning views and the local culture. Thought the trip was well paced, the hotels were of a high standard and the CEO and team were really helpful.

    The 12 days really flew by as we were introduced to beautiful Sri Lanka including the culture, the scenery, the local people and the food. Our CEO Cham really went above and beyond for us all making sure that we were able to experience as much as possible and he really looked after us all. I would highly recommend this tour, it was a wonderful experience
