My family had a great holiday in Sri Lanka, our first! Our driver, Dulan has been wonderful. A very experienced and safe driver, as driving on Sri Lankan road is definitely not for the faint-hearted. Dulan has always been punctual and accommodating to our needs. He even managed to secure a table reservation at the Ministry of Crab through his connections. Weather in January has been great with much sunshine and wind, especially the cool weather in Nuwara Eliya. The only disappointment is that the wifi in the van was not working throughout our trip despite the many attempts to resolve it with SankiLeisure. Had to rely on our own data plan instead. Despite that, we had an enjoyable 4 days in Sri Lanka.

We ten of us friends (three couples, 2 ladies and two men) all aged 50 to 60. We reached Colombo from Sydney on 20 October and the trip started from there till 31 October 2023 at Kandy. They arranged excellent hotels at Hikkaduwa, Tangala, Kathiragama, Arugam Bay, Pasikkuda, Upuveli and Habarana.
I made the booking through Ms Kaneesha Gayanthi. She did excellent job. Within hours she responds to my WhatsApp or email inquires. Without any hesitation she constantly changed itinerary or any changes I requested. I will not have any hesitation in recommending her for those who are looking for tours in Sri Lanka.
Nest is our Driver Channa, an excellent driver. We never had any sort of driving issues during our entire 12 day journey. He drove very carefully, within legal road speed limit, never applied sudden break. All of us went on smooth comfortable drive. I on behalf of the group salute him for his excellent work.
Then Mr Jagath our guide throughout our trip. He speak fluent in English which helped us in understanding everything. He knows every places and most importantly information about those places. He managed very well the time and worked out the way we go each day in order to maximise our time and see much attractions as possible. He is very friendly with everyone, a professional and a kind person.
Without him we couldn't have our trip enjoyable.
I strongly recommend Sanki Leisure Tours and above mentioned three staffs for your future travel needs in Sri Lanka.

Sri Lanka is a wonderfull country with great people and my trip to this destination was even more beautiful, and definitely stress free, thanks to our amazing local guide and driver Dulan. Not only me, but all my fellow travelers were amazed by the professionalism and support we received during the trip. Always on time, with a genuine smile, positive attitude and accurate information, flexible to change plans, helping with all necessities and unplanned situation (like PCR testing we had to do or hospital visit for one of the passengers). All together, we felt like we had a local friend who was ready to unselfishly show us the beauty of Sri Lanka and at the same time be a great companion and someone to rely on. If you plan your trip to this country, I highly recommend Dulan and company he works for. I’m sure you will have nothing to worry about from the moment you step out of the airport, just to enjoy ;)

I would highly recommend Sanki Leisure as primary tour agency in Sri Lanka. They meet and exceed all possible customer expectations and making wow effects on every single step.
We had to plan a group tour and it was a big responsibility to choose a logistic partner.
Kaneesha, tour operator, won my heart by her responsiveness, despite of working days and hours, by her willingness to assist and give needed advice.
And special thanks to Asanka, our tour coordinator and his team Chanaka and driver. They are the best team to take you around Sri Lanka. Extremely attentive to all details, making our stay very comfortable, memorable and heart-touching. They accompanied us everywhere we went, constantly taking care of our group members. They even ascended Sri Pada with us after sleepless night and greatly assisted us on our way to the peak. Stuti and Budusaranai

The company gave us a driver and guide for a party of 8. The service was exemplary. Nothing was too much and our guide Deva knew all the best places to stop when we required something. They were very accommodating and could not have done enough to ensure we had a fabulous time! We were delighted with our choice of coach as a minibus would have proved too small for a party of our size plus cases .Our coach was in very good condition and the air conditioning proved to be a very welcome relief. The driving in Sri Lanka can be very erratic and our driver Rami managed the roads with great skill. Full marks around!

We were warmly welcomed by our guide Sampath Rathnayaka, who contacted us earlier. On our 15 day round trip he showed us many impressive places and accompanied us to various activities. Whether we wanted to walk on the Padurangula (near Sigiriya) at 5am to see the sunrise or on the safari tours in Mineriya or Yala. He was able to show us not only the attractions of Sri Lanka but also the people and culture. We really liked the round trip with Sampath, because everything we wanted was really there! In addition to the temples, safaris, culture and other attractions, we could also dive or relax for a day in the hotel pool. Even when we changed the hotel spontaneously 2 times our guide Sampath was on site as support and drove us or talked to the hotel.

This island in the Indian Ocean is a true pearl of Asia that takes your breath away with its natural beauty, rich culture and the hospitality of the local population. Sri Lanka is a destination that has it all - beautiful beaches, lush forests, mountains, national parks, ancient temples and fascinating history. The interior of the island is breathtaking with its lush vegetation and stunning natural beauty. The ancient history of Sri Lanka is reflected in its many temples, castles and older cities. Visiting holy places like Dambulla Temples and Sigiriya Rock is extremely inspiring and spiritually fulfilling.

We just came back from a amazing 9 days trip in Sri Lanka. Our driver Brasad was really kind, friendly and always did his best to satisfy all our demands. We felt really safe. The car was always clean and comfortable. We couldn’t wish for a better service.

The 13-day tour around Sri Lanka was made comfortable and fun by our guide Jagath who answered all our questions, made us feel safe and took care of us like royalty. We never needed to carry our luggage anywhere, the rooms, drinks, meals and water in bus were always ready for us. I am very grateful for such a special experience which made our Sti Lanka adventure that much sweeter.

I'm being asked to pay Sanki in advance with a credit card via Payoneer, but I am not familiar with this payment method and read mixed reviews of Payoneer online. Did anyone else pay in advance via Payoneer? What was your experience? Thank you.
Written February 6, 2018
Since PayPal is not active in Sri Lanka, they use payoneer as a payment gateway. It's safe as far as my self is concern. I have paid thousands of usd via payoneer so far no issue.
