Wonderful holiday in Sri Lanka - Off 2 Sri Lanka provided great communication before and throughout our tour. The trip was very well organised and despite the COVID-19 restrictions we managed to see some beautiful areas in Sri Lanka. Our driver Melinda was excellent, he is very knowledgable about the region and ensured we had a fantastic experience. Would definitely recommend their tours and hope to visit Sri Lanka again soon.

Fantastic Trip with off2srilanka private tours - We recently returned from our first holiday in Sri Lanka. We would like to thank Menaka, Director @ off2srilanka tours who did a fantastic job creating an itinerary for us based on his suggestions/recommendations and our requirements. He was very prompt and responsive with our questions, which made the planning of the trip seamless. Once we started our tour Menaka connected with us several times during the trip checking that we were okay and kept us informed of any changes. And as we were travelling when the Covid-19 pandemic started escalating, he kept us updated on the status of the Coronavirus. We thoroughly enjoyed our first time in Sri Lanka, from the people, culture, food, history, safaris, beaches, and the fantastic hotels we stayed in - we really enjoyed everything. Our driver for the duration of the tour, Buddika was a great driver and a good guide, was always in time to pick us up, knowledgeable, Wifi in the car (definitely a plus) a good company and a good friend along the way. Thank you Menaka and Budhika, you promised us a memorable holiday and we sure did! We hope to visit again one day as we found Sri Lanka a beautiful country.
