About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Stephen B0 contributionsAwesome 14 night family holiday!Ms Chamudhi was a very accommodating booking manager as we changed our itinerary a couple of times with no issues at all. Mr Shiran was an amazing guide and driver and our family of four had an incredible experience through this magnificent country. Highly recommend SL Wide Tours!Written February 8, 2025
- philbutterworthqh0 contributionsA fabulous trip to wonderful Sri LankaWe booked with Sri Lanka Wide Tours on the advice of friends who had travelled with them twice. Having had the privilege of using them ourselves, we can wholeheartedly recommend the company to others who want to explore this beautiful country. The organisation, communication and efficiency of planning the 22 day trip was exemplary - thank you to Ms Chamudhi. The itinerary took in all we wanted to see and more besides. The pace meant we never did too much, but every day was packed full of amazing memories. The choice of hotels was perfect. Our driver and guide Dinesh, ensured our trip was a total success. We cannot speak too highly of his care, knowledge and respect for us and his country. We always felt totally safe as passengers and informed as travellers. He was flexible to meet our needs and always ready to use his own initiative to improve our experience. His photographs are a delight and a real bonus. There are too many highlights to list but as well as the attractions of the landscape, the history and the culture, the itinerary and Dinesh gave us opportunities to interact with local people and have the most capable site guides. Thank you so much Sri Lanka Wide Tours, your company deserves to grow from strength to strength and HUGE appreciation to DineshWritten February 3, 2025
- LinC8070 contributionsProfessional agency with high recommendationsThe tour guide is wonderful, more than perfect. He is very professional to introduce all places and solve every unexpected situation with stability and kindness. He brought me to some shopping places, and staffs there didn't force me to buy anything. I felt very relaxed without pressure. Everything is well-organized but keeps flexibility. When he arranged me for free time to walk around, he was very patient to wait. I strongly recommend this agency.Written February 3, 2025
- AAmina260 contributionsFamily trip to Sri LankaThe tour was amazing and precisely planned to give us the best experience we have looked for. Our driver and guide Mr Channa was very helpful in our every request. He tried to give very needful and background information about the places and things. We have looked for too many tours in web and decided to go with this since the reviews was very good and i think they deserve this review. Mrs Onali was also very helpful and flexible in planning of the tour.Written January 30, 2025

- rhujim0 contributionsSecond Trip to Sri LankaThis was our second trip to Sri Lanka and the second time we have used Sri Lanka Wide Tours. For the initial connect to the final drop off at the airport at the end of our trip the service has been outstanding. This time our driver was Mr Chanaka (Chan), he provided an excellent service throughout our 2 weeks. Always punctual, polite and engaging, he is a credit to the company and an excellent ambassador for Sri Lanka. Nothing was too much trouble, even when we changed our plans at short notice. With so much to see and do in Sri Lanka, the assistance of a good driver and company is essential and Sri Lanka Wide Tours provide both at the highest of standards. Thanks again for making this trip truly special.Written January 26, 2025
- valeriasY9103KW0 contributionsSri Lanka with kidsWe are a family of 5 with young kids and went to Sri Lanka for 6 days. They organized the tour following all our requirements and were always ready to help us along the way with any unforseen issues which arouse. Miyuru was a great guide and company; always available but giving us our privacy as well. If we go back to Sri Lanka we will deffinitely travel with them again!Written January 22, 2025

- giulia904060 contributionsBeautiful Sri LankaWe took a one-week tour visiting the main attractions of Sri Lanka, accompanied and guided by the legendary Channa, who today we can call a friend. Channa guided us with great availability and professionalism in discovering his beautiful country. A special thanks also to the excellent organization of Ms. Seu, who supported us remotely during the trip planning with precision and efficiency. We will definitely recommend SL Wide Tours to anyone who wants to visit Sri Lanka. Giulia & CarloWritten January 19, 2025
- rads9340 contributionsA memorable experienceI had a fabulous experience with SL Wode Tours on my recent trip to Sri Lanka – truly a lifetime memory. The team did a fantastic job organizing the entire itinerary, ensuring everything ran smoothly. A special mention to their quick response during a crisis when I accidentally left our passports at the Hotel Nelly Marine in Colombo. Despite us already heading to Kandy, they managed to retrieve and deliver the passports to us the very next day, all with impressive efficiency. Another highlight was the thoughtful surprise they arranged for our 25th wedding anniversary – a beautiful cake, which really added a personal touch to the trip. Our tour operator, Mr. Sampath, was exceptional – always polite, helpful, and kind, going above and beyond to make our journey memorable. For future travelers, I highly recommend SL Wide Tours, especially for first-time visitors to Sri Lanka. However, do be clear about your preferences upfront – whether it’s beach time, hotel type, or floor preferences – as they will tailor the experience to your exact needs. All in all, a highly recommended tour operator for an unforgettable Sri Lankan adventure.Written January 15, 2025
- 108diegom0 contributionsThe best guide and experienceWe went to Sri Lanka from Costa Rica. First time here, from far away and I just have good words por all the attention from Channa, our guide and all the team. We loved the country and we have great time there, thanks a lot for all this Wide Tours!Written January 10, 2025
- jamessM843BT0 contributionsCultural Triangle tour - highly recommended!I did the Cultural Triangle tour in December 2024, which was the highlight of my two weeks in Sri Lanka. Prior to arriving in Sri Lanka, Onali was tremendous in helping me arrange an itinerary that met my needs. Advance payment was easy and accommodated by credit card as wire transfer would have involved a big additional cost through my bank. I was picked up at the airport and had one tour guide for the day who drove me towards Sigiriya and we did Dambulla and related sites in the area (he was very helpful in stopping to help me purchase a SIM card - thanks again!). Following this, the tour was led by Shiran, and was exactly what I was hoping for in terms of the chance to see and learn about Sri Lanka's rich cultural heritage and Buddhist traditions (with the one caveat that the tour guide at Polonnaruwa did not speak very good English... the guide at Anuradhapura was excellent). Shiran was great - great English, great driver, very accommodating, and overall nice guy. I always felt myself to be in good hands with SLW tours and found them to be a professional and well-organized company, interested in making my experience a good one. Near the end of the tour, near Kandy, we stopped at the SLW company office and I got to meet the staff and sample some delicious home-made treats and tea. I would not hesitate to recommend SLW tours, and the Cultural Triangle tour in particular. Thanks again to the SLW team!Written January 8, 2025
- Scenic657965726070 contributionsYala and Udawalawe national parks SafarisWe did a customized 5 day tour of Sri Lanka. SL Tours people designed our tour very well based on our liking, that is wild life. They were very responsive to communications. We were given a warm welcome at the Colombo airport. The guide cum driver, Mr Channa, was a pleasant personality. He knew the places and people over there very well, which made our trip go smoothly. We did Yala and Udawalawe national parks Safaris and enjoyed those thoroughly. The hotels selected by them were also very good. I would definitely use their services for another visit to green and clean Sri Lanka.Written January 7, 2025
- Lily K0 contributions8 Magical Days in Sri LankaWe spent 8 magical days with Dinesh our guide. We felt like we really got to see a lot of Sri Lanka. Dinesh is a wonderful, kind and extremely considerate guide. He always went over and above all expectations to make sure we were having a great time. He also knew to always find us great bathrooms on our journey. We learned a lot about the cultures of Sri Lanka, the wild life, the religions, the nuance in the politics, and saw amazing wild life and had some real once in life time experiences. I highly recommend a visit to Wild Coast Tented Lodge in Yala, that was our favorite lodge with extraordinary game viewing. We got to visit the Vedda indigenous people. Got to hold a Porcupine. So many beautiful birds Highly recommend SL Tours with Dinesh ❤️Written January 5, 2025

A huge shoutout to Chamudhi Wickramasinghe (Reservation Manager) for organizing the entire trip seamlessly and making sure everything was planned to perfection. Special thanks to Chanaka Eranga, our Tour Leader and Chauffeur, who went above and beyond to ensure our safety and security throughout the journey. His professionalism and friendliness made our travels stress-free and enjoyable. From start to finish, the experience was fantastic, and we can’t recommend SL Wide Tours enough for anyone planning a trip to Sri Lanka!Written January 2, 2025

We Booked with Tony Sri Lanka Tours (highly reccomended) for the full day tour of Kandy and we were not dissapointed, We were collected in an air-conditioned minibus, and en route we stopped at Pinnawala elephant orphanage where we fed fruit to the elephants and watched them eating and playing in the herd. We alos visited a spice garden and learnt about the herbs and spices and howthey are used in natural products. We then visited The Temple of the sacred tooth relic, Big Tony explained all about the temple and gave us an instight in to the religious beliefs, the golden canopy was just stunning. The statues of the bhudda's are just amazing and astounding. The Photos do not do it justice. On the way back we stopped for a buffet lunch which was very good and visited the Royal Botanical Gardens these are just stunning with lots of interseting plants trees and orchids. We saw a small troupe of monkeys in the park as well, A great day trip which we highly reccomend.

The whole trip was nice and fun, I didn’t only stay in Kandy, so my trip was moving from place to a place.. exploring, trying new things.
I would definitely recommend this tour company and Mr.Minula was great tour guide, he tried to make this trip as best and possible.. he was very gentle and caring.
With days I felt I’m going out with a friend not a driver and that made me enjoy it more.
Many thanks to Mr. Minula, I wish him best of luck.

I had the most magical trip ever. We went to three cities in one week and Chattu made our trip super comfortable and checked continuously what our preferences were and offered us options. He is super professional, friendly and an honest person. He really cared that our trip is memorable for us and ensured we enjoy it in every way. This trip wouldn’t have been amazing if we were not blessed by Chattu!!

I enjoyed the day tour to Kandy. The guide and driver were very friendly , professional, and knowledgeable. Best of all the tour didn’t include the usual shopping stops at pre- selected stores.
