We did a 10-day tour of Sri Lanka last November. We really appreciated that the trip was designed with great care taking into account our interests and needs (we went hiking in the Knuckles and did a cooking class with locals) and also included a lot of free hidden gems to visit (pidurangala sunrise hike !).
Being able to have a phone call with the team in Colombo (despite the time difference with Canada) showed how willing Mai Globe was to tailor the trip to our needs.
Our driver was very good (Prasanna) and knowledgeable, he made great restaurant recommandations.

It was the first time that we (I travelled with my dad) booked an individualized holiday and it definitely exeeded our expectations. Not only the trip itself but also the booking process and we even had a german speaking contact person in Colombo. Fayaz from Mai Globe Travel did a great job and it was possible to made amendments to the travel route until we had the perfect route for our holiday. All time kind he even contacted us during our stay just to be sure everything is good. Thank you Fayaz and Mai Globe Travel and see you next time! :)

I visited Sri Lanka at the beginning of August with my partner and our 2 children (aged 4 years and 14 months). We booked before things got heated up a little and I must admit that we were a bit apprehensive about going and a little worried because we were traveling with 2 little children.
However, the team of Mai Globe Travels (as well as a local contact we had over there), assured us that nothing would affect us. And they were right! Everything ran very smoothly! We barely noticed the protests, we did not have much trouble with getting Diesel and all the hotels had generators to deal with the powercuts. So please: do not let yourself be dissuaded from visiting this beautiful country!
As for the Mai Globe Travels Team: they were all very professional and took really good care of us. Our driver/guide , Srimal, did a brilliant job. He was very helpful, always good humoured, close but non-invasive and eager to adapt the program to our needs!
The only regret we had on our trip was that we were not able to take the scenic train from Haputale to Kandy due to a landslide.
Overall, our trip was fantastic, the people are welcoming and very child-friendly and the organisation of Mai Globe Travels was excellent. Highly recommend!

We had a wonderful time in Sri Lanka thanks to Sujeevan who organised our trip and Nishanta our driver.
We travelled 8 days with 3 children and Sujeevan proposed us activities more focused on nature and animals. We really enjoyed each activity ; Yala natural reserve, tear plantation, Mirissa.
Our driver Nishanta was so kind, patient, with good advice and keen to share more about his country.
Despite the crisis, Sri Lanka is very safe and its people so nice !
We encourage everybody to visit St his wonderful country and we hope we can come back soon !!

I usually prepare my travel myself but this time it was different cause I had no time. I randomly picked up an agency on the internet and I wasn't disappointed. Catherine and her team are nice and efficient. I gave her my budget and told her everything I wanted to see and she made the perfect holidays for us. The price was honest and the hotels were good too. If you have any questions she answers in no time and provide you all the information you need via WhatsApp. This company have nice people and is really reliable. Don't hesitate to try them! I highly recommend

Fayas has organized everything perfectly. Chandana our german speeking guide was waiting for us at the Airport in Colombo and Sarath our personal driver was waiting outside with the car. Fayas called or wrote each day asking if we are well doing and if we enjoyed the excursion. Thank you Fayas for everything.

Our trip was very good organized and we had a good selection of hotels. Our agent Fayaz and our driver Ashan took care of everything and tried to make our trip wonderful in every way. We felt safe in every single moment and we enjoyed to be cared for. Our driver Ashan was our guide, our photographer and our bodyguard :-) We had an unforgettable trip and we hope to come back to Sri Lanka soon.

We walked an EXCEPTIONAL 3 days Trek with Catherine from MAIGLOBE. It was perfectly organised and in a friendly atmosphere. Accommodation was from excellent to very good including one night stop "in the middle of nowhere" : always clean, with very good food and perfect timing. And the Trails were always walkable, never on large roads with cars. We went through tea plantations, various types of forests, always offering breathtaking views and landscapes that can easily compete with the best we have sometimes trekking in Europe ; and more unique for sure. We will definitely do it again since I heard there are hundreds of other trails like this available.

After deciding to visit Sri Lanka, the rest of the planning was made easy by the very efficient and helpful Sonali from Mai Globe Travels. From the communication, to the amendments of the itinerary, everything went very smoothly.
We were greeted fondly at the airport and everything was well taken care of despite the rather inexperienced guide that we had. He seems a little new on the job but he was kind, friendly and helpful enough. In our 9 nights we managed to cover quite an extensive no. of places. If I were to arrange another trip, I would probably prefer to go at a more relaxed pace if someone had suggested to me. The long bus journeys can be very tiring.
All the accommodations (except one) were satisfactory. The one which was below average was written in the feedback form but I must say the host was great just that the rooms were rather rundown.
All in all, I would recommend Mai Globe to all who intend to visit this beautiful island country.

Hi May,
Thank you for the great and constructive feedback and the kind words. We are delighted to know we were able to help you organize a memorable trip to discover our beautiful island. It was great working with humble clients as you, and I wish we had a change to meet, as due to the short time we could not arrange a meeting. We definitely look forward in having you back with us to discover more leisurely what Sri Lanka has to offer, and may be next time you will have time to explore a couple of off the beaten path locations that I am sure will take your breath away, or simply have more time to relax in one of the amazing beach locations Sri Lanka can offer.
Thank you once again from all of us at Mai Globe Travels!
Best regards,
Sonali
