This was the trip of a lifetime! I thoroughly enjoyed my time trough tour this varied and active 8 day tour and can’t recommend highly enough! Thank you!

My... read more driver/guide Niran was excellent from start to finish, always there to help me with my bags, open the car door for me, great for a chat, always punctual, was highly reliable, recommended awesome local eating restaurants and gave good insight into this beautiful country. I’m happy to now call him a friend also.

The hotel accommodation was good and comfortable, and the main sights covered also with some down time to relax and breathe in the fresh air. Highly recommend this tour. Thanks Niran, awesome work and Beauty Lanka Tours for putting together a memorable tour!

  I found Beauty Lanka Travels by chance and after checking with a couple of other tour companies, I found them most responsive and affordable so I decided to book a... read more 6 day, 5 night package with them.

The booking process was done through WhatsApp and they asked me for my flight itinerary to confirm that I really was coming. They were flexible with the actual tour itinerary and I ended up doing the following based on friends' recommendations and research:

Day 1 - Pick up from Colombo airport, drive to Sigiraya, hike up Sigiraya Rock ($30). Stay in Sigiraya.
Day 2 - From Sigiraya, go to Dambulla Cave ($10), drive to Kandy. Visit the Sacred Tooth Temple (Rs 1,500) and watch a cultural dance (Rs 1,000). Massage in Kandy (Rs 4,500)
Day 3 - From Kandy, go to a tea plantation in Nuwara Eliya (free) then take the train from Nuwara Eliya to Ella (Rs 1,000). Hike Little Adam's Peak, get another massage (Rs 3,000) and spend the night in Ella.
Day 4 - Hike Nine Arches Bridge (free), wait for the 11:50am train to take a photo. From Ella, drive to Tissamaharama. Stay in Tissa.
Day 5 - Early pickup for the Yala safari ($50). After the safari, drive to Mirissa. There was an option to go whale watching, snorkeling or scuba diving, but we preferred to just take it easy and hang out in town.
Day 6 - From Mirissa, drive to Colombo and spend the day in Colombo. Fly out.

We were driven around in a fairly new and well-maintained Honda Fit Shuttle, and we had bottled water available at our disposable throughout our journey. Gas, tolls and our hotel stay were part of the fee, as advertised.

I agree with one of the previous reviews here that said that the hotels that the company booked were unfortunately quite far from town, but I suppose that's a compromise since we did have a driver at our beck and call. The hotels were better than I expected, with warm hosts and a predictable breakfast menu at each stop.

Our driver was Raj and he was punctual and communicated our options and itinerary well. He assisted us in some of the sights, got us tickets for the Nuwara Eliya to Ella train ride, helped us book our Yala safari, and even introduced us to wood apple and king coconut beverages. He had a couple of recommendations that were completely off, but I recognize that he must be basing his suggestions from second hand information. I suggest checking TripAdvisor for information from fellow travelers. Our trip would have been better if he were on the phone a little bit less. He was constantly receiving phone calls during our trip.

All in all, we had a good experience in Sri Lanka thanks to Beauty Lanka Travels.

  The Supreme tour of Sri Lanka was an exceptinal adventure for my wife and me. Very much to see and discover - people, religion, nature, food and of course... read more animals. On this 15 days roundtrip we saw it all. We stayed at nice and clean hotels with good aircondition. The food at these hotels were also good. But above all we had a marvellous guide and chaffeur, Rajh, that drove us safely and comfortably through the crazy traffic on this island. He was very empatic and serviceminded - a very likeable person we became very fond of and it was sad to say goodbye to. Thank you Rajh and Beauty Lanka Travels for fullfilling our great expectations to this island. Greetings from Astid Amstrup and Knut Leyre Olsen. Norway.
