Pearl Lanka organised the tour perfectly according to my itinerary. We managed to tick off all the points I wanted to see in 3.5 days: from Galle and beaches down south, the elephant safari in Udawalawe National Park, mountain train from Ella, tooth relic temple in Kandy, to the ancient sites of Polonnaruwa, Sigiriya, and Dambulla.
The price was very competitive - around half of what two other travel agencies quoted for this itinerary. Hotels in Matara and Kandy were ok, while the bed and breakfast in Ella (Marvellous Inn) was amazing - breathtaking views from the terrace overlooking the valley.
I was travelling solo from Colombo with a driver provided by Pearl Lanka. Wasantha was an excellent driver, a great guide, and a fun companion during the entire tour. He knew everyone at all the stops and suggested additional attractions, such as a visit to the tea factory and a traditional dance show, ensuring I got the most out of the tour.
I can safely recommend Pearl Lanka and would suggest asking for Wasantha in particular when choosing your driver!
