What travelers are saying
- Wanda1 contributionGood communication, really nice service, helped us with everything we asked for, we wanted to change the last trip to a different and they did with no problem. If you have kids we recommend a driver named Vidura, he was the best. Helped with the kids, played with them and looked after them when we were taking photos etc..Written March 7, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- HJO14Milton Keynes, UK27 contributionsWe loved our amazing 17 day tour with Columbus. Our guide, Ananda, was knowledgeable, interesting, courteous and best of all fun to spend time with. The itinerary was varied but also flexible enough to respond to our energy level and interests. Would not hesitate to use again or recommend; Ananda turned a good trip into a great one.Written May 16, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Quick and caring response from inquiring to the end of the trip. The suggested itinerary was nice and the cost was reasonable. They rose to the occasion even during the trip. The driver was friendly, trustworthy and had good sense. The whole travel was comfortable and satisfying. Highly recommended.Written February 13, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

He was an "open encyclopedia". His knowledge of the country's history, culture, religion, economy, education, flora and fauna, with thorough insight and soul. An excellent person, noble, accurate in his word, immediately available for anything we needed, on call, with an open soul and an open spirit. Undoubtedly the success of our trip to Sri Lanka is largely based to his presence. Always smiling, humorous and on time in his appointments. With respect for his country and unlimited love for his work. We were privileged and blessed to have him.Our driver Suranga, was a very experienced driver, supporting and extremely careful in his driving, immediately available for our needs and observing all hygiene and safety rules.Written March 9, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Mark SUnited Kingdom5 contributionsHad a private tour with Travel Lanka Connections and it has been excellent from day one. They picked us up from the airport on time and took us to our first hotel. We have had a seven day tour and each day has been packed with great experiences of Sri Lanka, including elephant safaris, tea plantations, mangrove boat trips, turtle rescue centres and all the great temples are a must see. Any tour is only as good as the guide that makes the experience special and a massive thank you must go to Roshan, his dedication to making sure our trip is the best is second to none, he has gone the extra mile to show us the "little extras" that make his country special, he's always ensured we understand and made sure we have everything we need, even stopping to buy us different fruits from different regions for us to try and enjoy. He makes sure the car is clean every day and fueled ready for the trip (not an easy task in the current political climate) well done and a huge thank you Roshan. Overall a great trip, the Sri Lankan people are polite and very friendly and the country is beautiful. Well done.Written March 16, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Des1 contributionWe spent a fantastic 2 week holiday escorted by Ushan around Sri Lanka. He provided great local knowledge and interesting conversation whilst taking us to our hotels and many sites. He has an excellent sense of humour and proactively suggested tweaks to our tour itinerary which better suited our daily plans. He is always prompt on arrival, a safe driver and all tickets and tour arrangements were delivered brilliantly. Highlights were the Ella waterfall, lunch near Polonnaruwa and the Sigiriya climb! Definitely recommended.Written March 8, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

As a power wheelchair user, I had to pick a very unique touring company that understood my needs. Our guides, Lalith and Nadeera from Ceylon Expeditions were the perfect match! With an accessible van and local knowledge, we were treated to visits in temples, churches. Markets, spices, teas, elephants and a safari! And all with respect and kindness.Written March 23, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Rochelle S3 contributionsMy partner and I had the best time going around Sri Lanka with Jagath; professional, super friendly and knowledgeable.
He knew lots of places to recommend as we travelled down south to up north. He was always punctual on time with a friendly genuine smile.
Could not recommend more !Written May 22, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - Rebekah3 contributionsWe had a fantastic time with Ceylon Awaits Tours!
If you are thinking about travelling around Sri Lanka you should plan your trip with Ceylon awaits. Gihan the owner of the tour company planned every minute for us and did not dissapoint, he paid attention to the smallest details that you wouldnt think of yourself to make our trip even more special. Our tour guide Nihal was such a gentlemen, who made sure we were looked after at all times and made sure our trip ran as smoothly as possible. Our driver Janitha who was also a gentlmen got us to and from our destenations safely and timely. Could not reccomend this tour operator more.Written August 12, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
