          Awesome tour guides
          Our guides, Althaf and Ruhuman, were exceptional. They drove us from Colombo to Sigiriya to Kandy to Nurawa Eliya to Ella and back to Colombo and they did so under challenging driving conditions and always with amazing skills, good spirits, kindness and care for us. We are so grateful for them. We saw so much and we had an incredible experience thanks to these two wonderful guides. We will remember them and our fantastic time in beautiful Sri Lanka forever.

          SriLanka tour well managed by Kingfisher.
          We booked with Kingfisher Sri Lanka Tours after reading positive reviews and were glad we did. The itinerary was well-planned and executed with necessary improvisation! We were provided spacious, comfortable vehicle. Our driver, Ishan, was knowledgeable, accommodating, and passionate—making the journey smooth and enjoyable. Aashiq’s support and flexibility in adjusting the itinerary enhanced the trip further. However, hotel selections could be improved, especially in locations like Mirissa, Sigiriya and Colombo! The initial guide didn’t stand the expectations and was sent back, Ishan did the job. With minor adjustments, Kingfisher Tours can offer a good experience. Thanks to Ishan and Aashiq for their efforts!

          I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the city.
          The Kingfisher One-Day Colombo City Tour is an excellent option for anyone looking to explore the essence of Colombo. It was well-organized and insightful tour, perfect for exploring the city, covering key attractions. It combines convenience, insightful storytelling, and a well-rounded itinerary, making it ideal for first-time visitors.

          Lifetime memory !
          We are a group of 17 adults and 5 kids booked our family reunion in Sri Lanka with kingfisher tours srilanka We had an amazing experience as everything went very well and smooth. We were greeted with garlands of flowers at the airport and our guide Mahesh was with a nice smile on his face for our startup, the vehicle was big and we had enough space for legs. Throughout the tour Aashik, the manager was in touch always to check weather we are okay and they are very flexible for all our needs. our guide Mahesh was very knowledgeable and polite, he even sang some srilankan songs to cheer us up. He explained every places we visited and the hotels are in a super attractive locations with great customer service and geographical locations We were sad to leave this beautiful island after our 14 days of travel but we will definitely come back soon induvidually or group to explore more from what this island offers. Sri Lanka is truly a paradise and without Kingfisher Tours Sri Lanka we wouldn’t have made it !!

          Ferose was my driver and guide for my tour, he was an excellent driver and guide, made the tour, with his knowledge and helpfulness, nothing was too much for him, always checking that I was ok and whether there was anything I wanted to see or need. The tour was absolutely great, and Ferose made it so, Can highly recommend this tour, very interesting, well worth the time and cost. Finally a big thank you to my original contact with Kingfisher Tours, who, after a false start, got the tour re-organised,many thanks.🤗

        I recently visited Sigiriya, Kandy, and Nuwara Eliya. The trip was safe and comfortable led by a knowledgeable guide. While we didn’t visit the iconic Sigiriya Rock Fortress this time, the village experience in Sigiriya was truly memorable. However, I feel that Sigiriya Rock is a must see and should be included in future itineraries. Kandy impressed with its cultural heritage, while Nuwara Eliya’s cool climate and landscapes were beutiful.
        The hotel in Kandy was decent, though it didn’t quite match the quality of the one in Nuwara Eliya.
        Sri Lanka truly has a diverse array of flavors to offer, blending history, culture, and natural beauty!

        OH. MY. GOSH. I could write a book about how amazing my experience in Sri Lanka was thanks to Kingfisher Tours. I have traveled to 46 countries and my vacation in Sri Lanka, as a whole, is going to be my most memorable for sure. Unfortunately, I scheduled my trip to Sri Lanka prior to their third lockdown and was traveling through with the lockdown and curfew in place. While I thought this would hinder my experience, Aashik at Kingfisher Tours made sure that I did not miss out on any of the main things I wanted to do and see.

        In order to adhere to government restrictions, I was required to stay in level 1 safe and secure hotels. Aashik adjusted the itinerary of the normal 3-day tour through Sigiriya, Kandy, and Nuwara Eliya to abide by the restrictions and worked with the government to ensure my visa and itinerary were approved. Upon picking me up from the airport, he showed me the city highlights on the way to the hotel. He had already arranged for my initial PCR test to occur once I arrived at the hotel where I would be quarantined until my negative result. Let me tell you, the Mövenpick Colombo is fantastic. I would recommend it to anyone!

        The day after my negative result, I was picked up by my lovely driver Aswar. I cannot say enough good things about Aswar. RECOMMEND HIM when booking your tour. You will not be disappointed! He was so friendly, knowledgeable, funny, kind, and patient with me while I asked dozens of questions about anything and everything. He was a very safe driver and made sure I was comfortable in the car the entire time. Aswar really went out of his way for me during the tour. He picked up on the fact that I was fascinated by the wildlife (monkeys, cows, elephants, horses, birds, etc.) and made sure to stop the car whenever he saw something he thought I may want to take a photo of. As I was traveling alone, he often offered to take pictures of me and had great photography skills! He even stopped at a street vendor and bought me a King coconut, which is native to Sri Lanka.

        Due to the lockdown, most of the usual tourist attractions were closed, but Aswar coordinated with a Jeep safari driver to make sure I was able to tour through the jungle since the national park was closed. Nishntha was my driver/guide and told me that he would try very hard to make sure I saw elephants. We saw FOUR wild elephants on our trip through the jungle as well as two different types of monkeys, many different birds, and a ton of cows! I absolutely love animals so this was a total highlight for me! It didn’t end there. We drove through the village and I was able to observe people going about their daily routine. We drove through areas with large rice paddies and stopped near a woman’s land who grew peanuts. Nishntha and Aswar asked her to pull some peanuts for me to look at. Finally, Nishntha arranged for me to have a meal cooked over a fire in the middle of the jungle. Another man aided him in building a fire and lighting makeshift torches (papaya stalks with oil and coconut husk) before a rug was laid down for me to sit on. Nishntha then proceeded to show me the process of pressing out the roti dough onto an oiled leaf before placing it on a cast iron pan over the flame. After it was finished cooking, I added coconut sambol to it and devoured it! Nishntha even brought bananas for me from his home garden. This was such a unique experience that I will never forget! Make sure you ask to take the keep safari with him when you visit!

        As stated before, Aswar outdid himself to help me see the sights. I was taken by tuk tuk to the entrance of the Rock Cave and Temple for a completely private tour. I was literally the only person there. The next day, I was driven up to Nuwara Eliya for pictures of the tea plantations, multiple waterfalls, the city, vegetable fields, the horse track, rubber trees, and more. It was the most beautiful drive I’ve ever taken. Aswar was able to point out everything on our way up the mountain and carefully drove us down the mountain, though it was raining very hard at some points. He dropped me off at the airport where I was very sad to say goodbye.

        Aashik and I have been in touch since I reached the airport, just so he could ensure everything went smoothly. He was easy to contact the entire time I was in Sri Lanka and helped me navigate the delicate processes of international travel during a worldwide pandemic. Again, BOOK THIS TOUR COMPANY if you are looking to see Sri Lanka and get the most bang for your buck without sacrificing comfort. I will absolutely be coming back, likely next year, and booking my journey through Aashik at Kingfisher Tours.

        Thanks again to all of my guides. You truly made this trip magical.

        Extremely overpriced. Money rip-off. I suggest everyone to avoid this agency. Trains are actually the best way to get around the whole island!!!! Or even ordering an Uber driver will be cheaper!

        *Likely to sell out: Based on Viator’s booking data and information from the provider from the past 30 days, it seems likely this experience will sell out through Viator, a Tripadvisor company.
