          Boat Tour and Sigiriya
          We did a Bentota River Boat Safari with them and loved it so much, that we booked another day trip with this agency! We went to Sigiriya and Dambulla Temple and it was the perfect ending to our trip. Organisation was easy and it was very on time. Everyone speaks fluent English. It was just great! I can not recommend enough! Also the price is a good one compared to our travel agency!

          Use this local service to get the most out of your holiday in Bentota.
          I initially used VTS to book and travel to the excellent Anyone Can Cook cooking class. I then used their Tuk Tuk driver Weera, who was safe, friendly and polite to travel to a open garden and Turtle rescue place.

          Outstanding
          Amazing experience, picked up and returned to hotel by tuk tuk, fantastic lake side setting, expert friendly chef. Plenty of opportunity to get hands on experience and you get to eat the glorious food at the end. Can’t recommend highly enough .

          Very good company for tour or taxi
          This tour operator is really very serious and with good prices for very good service. Dont buy at hotel and not from any beach boys, because this company offers much better quality for less money. The car they pick you up is private for you and very clean and new. Also the boss is friendly person and you feel very good there. He can arrange different kind of activities and I think he is the right person for any request even hotel or restaurant aso. Super!

          Good way of seeing interesting plavces
          Very good guide, interesting temple visit, jewelry and turtle hatching / research station. Herbsl garden visit good, but afterwards very aggressive selling of own too expensive herbal products. Do not recommend herbal garden, but rest is great!

          Airport Transfer from Bentota to Colombo Airport
          Mr. Vinod was very efficient in organizing a smooth airport transfer for us in the wee hours of a weekend morning. He was proactive in confirming and sending us the personnel's details. Our taxi personnel arrived early to pick us up from our hotel, and dropped us off safely at the airport. Good service, good price!

          10/10 experience - could not recommend more highly
          My mum and I took part in the cooking class. It was amazing, so very authentic and the food was incredible. They welcomed us with open arms and couldn’t have hoped for a better experience, would thoroughly recommend to anyone who is visiting in the nearby area. It is positioned overlooking a beautiful river in the middle of their garden where they grow majority of their own vegetables and spices which were used during the course. Super clean, very well organised!

          A reliable friendly driver and tour of local attractions, great value for money!
          We booked VTS Lanka for a custom tour of southern and central Sri Lanka and they were excellent. We wanted a driver to take us to all the different locations that we planned to visit while travelling round the country - Yala National Park, Ella and the hill region, Galle, whale watching in Mirissa etc. We arranged things with Vinodh by Whatsapp and the price quoted was amazing value - it included the cost of the activities we wanted to do, like safaris & whale watching, as well as a car and driver, who took us from place to place, showed us all sorts of attractions en route, and stayed the night nearby for the entire time, wherever we went. Our driver, Mr Rohan, seemed to know everything and everyone in Sri Lanka! If we wanted to stop for a bite to eat, he'd take us to a restaurant with a stunning view or overlooking a waterfall, for example. He took care of everything we needed during the trip, ie getting us seats on the fully reserved train from Ella through the mountains, and dealing with locals when we didn't understand. He was so friendly, reliable and smart, and was happy to take long detours to see interesting things. As a couple who are used to exploring places on our own and on foot, having a driver doing everything for us did take a bit of getting used to. Sometimes we just wanted to get to our hotel and explore on our own rather than be shown everything by car. But having a driver allowed us to see many amazing things that we would never known about or be able to get to via public transport. In the final few days of our trip, Mr Rohan took us to two of the most incredible viewpoints I have ever seen in my life, neither of which were in our Lonely Planet guide book. We would highly recommend VTS Lanka - they seem like a lovely team of people with connections all over Sri Lanka.

          Amazing experience, professionalism, adaptive & very nice to have around
          We were a group of 5 friends visiting Sri Lanka for the 1st time. I remember the 1st WhatsApp message that I received several hours before our arrival at the airport: "Waiting for you in my beautiful country". And it was more than true. Besides the enthusiasm for what they do, welcoming people and making them feel safe, what I most appreciated was the extraordinary level of discussion from culture to politics, from history to any stupid questions we asked about Sri Lanka. :) VTS Lanka Tours accompanied us in a 7 days tour and offered great quality accommodations, safe transport and various activities from the most authentic experiences to the must-see touristic spots. They also adjusted permanently the itinerary based on our sometimes exaggerated needs and still, we did not miss anything we have planned. Constantly surprising us with the smallest details, what we appreciated the most was their adaptability in guessing our needs and traveling style and adapting the activities in such a manner that our expectations where constantly exceeded. Very fun to have around, we laughed a lot and felt that we were accompanied by friends. I have only superlative attributes towards VTS Lanka Tours and if it would be possible to collaborate with them to all the trips we will further plan, it would be amazing. I guess I will have to lower my expectations for future holidays because I am more than sure that I will not find such great services easily again. For sure, VTS Lanka Tours was an important part of our experience that made our trip more beautiful, comfortable, safe and inspiring.

          THE BEST experience ever
          They were our guides for a 7days tour throughout the country, handling everything (accommodation, transport, activities). Our experience with them was really perfect! They are highly professional up until the smallest details, flexible and fun. All the services provided were of the highest quality - superb accommodations, confortable car, excellent itinerary. They set a dangerously high standard for my future experiences :)

          Good day but not as booking description
          It was a good day but we were disappointed that we didn’t get to visit Nuwara Eliya as that was where really wanted to go and The trip description said that was on the itinerary. However, our driver, Rohan was excellent and put on additional stops and incredibly knowledgeable.

          Great trips
          Myself and my two friends enjoyed a lot of trips through this company while in Sri Lanka in dec 2018 We did the boat tour, whale watching, jet skis, safari trip. We were picked up from the hotel and took to all the destinations by the driver that was assigned to us. We had such a great time on all the trips and the founder of the company is so friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend. Such a beautiful country!

        We were surprised how just a 2-hour boat safari could feel like such an adventure, as we left the hotels behind and ventured into the mangrove swamps. Our guide, Pradeep, was great at spotting wildlife, even in the heat of the afternoon, and we got some wonderful photos. I'd highly recommend this boat safari, as it gave us a real insight into the natural world around Bentota.

        Went on the river boat Safari and we saw lots of birds, a baby crocodile, monkeys and water monitors. Just be careful as they took us to a herbal garden where a staff member there was very aggressive and pushy trying to get us to buy very expensive ‘natural products’, so if they stop there on your tour I would say you don’t want to go. Apart from that the tour was really amazing. Definitely recommend, our driver was super friendly 👍👍

        Rates were fair for a 2 hour bentota boat ride. We saw crocodiles, the green snakes, clicked pictures with baby crocodiles, went into the mangrove, saw monitor lizards and fed the black monkeys.
        Great day.

        I went on the ride with my 6 years old daughter.

        Our guide and a driver were absolutely amazing! His knowledge of the river and incredible eyes didn’t miss anything. We saw so many animals and thoroughly enjoyed our ride.

        Nature and wildlife is astonishing and with his guidance very educational too!

        Highly recommended!!
