      Traveling in Sri Lanka: September 2024
      Overa Tours, and in particular Mr. Nazz arranged for us an exceptional tour in Sri Lanka according to our needs. Mr. Nazz is professional on his work and was much of his help during our days in Sri Lanka. We had a great time at Knuckles Mountain. We loved the time that we spent with our travel guide Mr. Mayura as he is a kind person with much knowledge, and professional in the trek. The Safari that we had in Minneriya National Park was a great experience, too. The driver, Mr. Amila is a kind person and professional on his work. Thank you all for making our holidays in Sri Lanka so unique!

      Good way to see Galle if you can not spend the night
      Had a very enjoyable day trip to Galle. This is the way to go if you can not stay there overnight. I had the all-inclusive package, including a wonderful lunch. All entrance fees were paid for with no issue. The visits at each location were interesting and informative. My driver, Ishara, was very professional and provided valuable information along the way. I'd recommend this tour and company ... they were in constant contact as the trip approached.

      I can't believe this trip has turned out to be the best one yet. The variety of bird species was truly amazing. I'd love to visit this place with my family again.
