7 Days Ceylon Tour With Go Ceylon Tours - Right from the landing in Colombo Airport on 24th May 2024 my family were too happy with tour as we covered Katunayake, Sigiriya, Kandy, Nuwaraeliya, Ella, Galle and Colombo. We selected Sri Lanka as first touristic destination due to historical and cultural closeness with India. This program was fixed and finalized by Ms. Ruksha who took care to book neat hotels with delicious food and was in touch throughout tour. Chauffeur Madusanka Karunarathna took care of us and safely dropped at Airport with lot of affection and care. Go Ceylon Tours did great job in fixing up neat hotels where Sri Lankan delicacies were major attraction. Overall experience with Go Ceylon Tours is very nice and certainly recommend my friends to plan their tour to Sri Lanka. Highly Recommended!!

Highly Recommended - We had seven days tour in Sri Lanka with Go Ceylon Tours, with a private tour for me and my family. We were very satisfied with the support that Mr. Madusanka gave us to choose our itinerary. He was very patient with our requests. We were also very satisfied with the our guide and driver that same person for us, Mr. Madusanka, that was very competent, kind and knowledgeable about the history of all the places we visited with him. His Toyota KDH Van was always very clean, comfortable and the driving was always very safe. We enjoy every places and the suggestions that Mr. Madusanka gave us. After climb the Sigirya Rock, nothing better than going for a massage at Athreya Ayurvedic Hospital. Don't miss visit the Spice Garden, Tea factory with tea tasting, train ride to see beautiful tea plantation landscapes, Buddhist Temple of the Tooth and at last to swimm and dive at Bentota and Hikkaduwa Diving beaches. Highly Recommended Go Ceylon Tours with Guide Madusanka

A 5 star Srilankan experience! - Our 5 day Srilankan trip was indeed a memorable one with our chauffeur as Madusanka. We were a little worried about the trip since we were travelling with our baby..but the way he supported us throughout the journey is commendable. Needless to say even our 18 months baby became good friends with him by the end of the trip..he was systematic, understanding and friendly all at the same time. Anyone who gets him to assist you for an amazing Srilankan trip - you are in the best hands. :)

Great time in Sri Lanka - We had a couple of extra requests including a couple of extra days. Nothing was a problem for Mr Madusanka and his guide Mr Keerthi. We had a fantastic time and would highly recommend both Sri Lanka and Go Ceylon Tours.

Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 ❤️ Worth the trip! - An excellent company to deal with! Mr Madusanka was very informative about the booking and holiday experience and kept in constant communication in the lead up to our holiday as I had extended our trip by an extra few days. It was my husband and I with a driver, Mr Keerthi, who has 17yrs experience doing this and similar tours for Go Ceylon. The difference in communication and customs was easily overcome and he even took us to his family home where we met his wife who gave us drinks and cake. The first couple of days of this tour involved lots of climbing (Sigiriya/Dambulla etc) so you need to pack some comfortable shoes (hubby did one of them in thongs then wised up and wore boots for the others) We definitely slept well! Like all the other reviews say, take a light sarong for the temples (no knees or shoulders) and socks don't hurt either as the ground can be hot. Keep small notes for the people that mind your shoes and hat or a backpack to store them in. Accommodation is all good although out of town a bit. Each had amazing views and we were quite knackered from the big days so we were more than happy to laze in the pool (all had pools except Colombo). Hotel at Galle was the best for us as we could walk straight outside to the beach then back to the pool before breakfast. Breakfast and dinner was supplied by the hotels with some hits and misses but that's to be expected with culture differences. As long as you like eggs and rice, you're set. I love both. Some notable extras were the elephant safari, climbing Mr Sigiriya and Relic Tooth Temple. All in all, definitely a trip worth doing!

Memorable Sri Lanka Family Trip ! - My family and I had a great time in Srilanka. The plan was perfectly paced and kept us engaged for the entire duration. The logistics were taken care of and we did not have to bother about anything. This tour has variety of activities and something new everyday. We particularly enjoyed Sigiriya, Dambulla, Jeep Safari and turtle hatchery. Our trip was made special because of our guide Madusanka. He is very friendly and accommodative to our needs. He made sure the planned itineraries for the day are covered. Overall, I would highly recommend this tour.

7 days sri lanka excellent trip - The best travel agency Go Ceylon Tours helped us a lot with the design of the tour itinerary. It was a big help as ours was a last minute trip and we didn't have much time for research or preparation. They replied our emails quickly in a very friendly and efficient way proposing alternative visits along the route. You need to be aware that in Sri Lanka distances are not big however travelling by car takes a really long time due to the roads and traffic facts that googlemaps doesn't take into account. Overall it was a perfect 8 days trip around Sri Lanka thanks to our chauffeur Madusanka. He is very professional, knowledgable and an excellent driver and we really recommend him if available. Thank you very much again and again.
