10 Days Visit Sri Lanka 2024 Apri - Our small Hungarian private group of six spent ten days in Sri Lanka. We visited almost all UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Sri Lanka. We are not young anymore, but we are very happy thanks to Mr Kumara, who took good care of us and we were able to make it through the difficult tours. We recommend this travel agency to older travellers. We had many wonderful experiences during our trip to Sri Lanka with Mr. Kumara! We enjoyed our trip and received excellent service. If anybody else is planning a trip to Sri Lanka, we would definitely recommend Tours for Sri Lanka, which is a reliable travel agency licensed by the local authorities.

Visit Sri Lanka 2024 April with a reliable travel agency - We are Hungarian citizens, and we came to Sri Lanka for the first time. In preparation for our trip, we consulted with about five or six companies about our itinerary, services and accommodation. In all, the most favourable conditions were given by the travel agency "Tours For Sri Lanka". Mrs Sonali did a great job in the preparation and we thank her very much! During the trip, everything went as planned, thanks to Mr Kumara's dedicated work. Mr Kumara did his best to ensure the safety of our group and the success of our trip. Our heartfelt thanks to all the staff of the travel agency!

Tours of Sri Lanka - Fantastic way of seeing Sri Lanka - We are two couples from Australia just finishing a 14 day tour of Sri Lanka organised by Tours of Sri Lanka Group. Our tour leader and guide Kumara has done an awesome job . He has a great local knowledge of SL and has been an excellent guide , always available and very flexible to accommodate our needs . His van is comfortable and always clean , plentiful provision of water and great wifi connectivity. He was efficient and with us at all times ensuring we were safely picked up each morning and dropped off each evening . We made a few changes as we went along ( in accomodation and places) and Kumara easily facilitated this . Time was never a problem. . Kumara is also assisted by his colleague Hemant who joined us each excursion ensuring our safety . Some highlights of our trip : - visiting fish market in Negombo - Doing Sigriya rock - cultural show - snorkeling at Penguin Island - Galle fort where we were invited to Hemant’s home . Thank you Hemant and wife Rani - Mirisa’s beautiful beaches and swimming and dining - Bentota beautiful beaches and swimming. Our accommodation was also of high standard , generally 4 star and overall tour was great value for money All in all a great touring and sightseeing experience. We thank Kumara and Tours of Sri Lanka and have no hesitation in recommending them .

It’s better to book directly thn rely on agencies who provide zero assistance - Not so great experience with this agency. No support once u land there. Hotels were decent . Location of the hotels were nice. The agency made many errors which thy didn’t bother to take up. Eventually to figure it out with the help of our driver and the guide. Both were helpful . The agency could have managed this way better.
