Thanks Rajh 😊 - Thanks to Rajh for taking good care of me throughout the whole day. He let me go at my pace and was very helpful on the tour. I recommend this tour if you want to be at the beach. The galle fort is a pretty town to walk in and chill for a day.

Amazing day - Best day ever in Galle, made significantly more incredible by our driver Ranga, the kindest man ever. It was the most fun we had in Sri Lanka during our week-long stay. Thank you, Ranga!

An amazing trip in beautiful Sri Lanka! - Me and my mom just finished an 8 night/9 day tour with our excellent guide Rajh! First of all, we always felt very safe in this beautiful country of beautiful people. Everyone is very welcoming and friendly, we never had any problem during our trip. From the beginning, it was very easy to book with Malintha via Whatsapp. We could make some changes in our itinerary. And also during the trip, Rajh was always flexible with our wishes. He is the kindest guide, very friendly, knowledgeable, and he was always very punctual. We had dinners together and had nice chats with him. The hotels were nice, all of them had beautiful views. Especially we loved the one in Sigiriya! We managed to do everything we wanted. The river safari, snorkelling in Trincomalee (where I saw a sea turtle and shark), safari in Yala, the train trip over the mountains and so on.. When we were in Yala, they found the sloth bear, which I wanted to see so much! And lastly, they had a very special gift for us, which we loved! I highly recommend the Beauty Lanka Travel to everyone! Thank you dear Rajh and Beauty Lanka Travel!

The most amazing trip with Beauty Lanka Travels - From start to finish, my trip to Sri Lanka with Beauty Lanka Travels was absolutely fantastic. I organised my solo tour through Whatsapp with Malintha. He was very helpful in accommodating my different changes to the itinerary and he was also incredibly understanding when my flights got changed due to a cancellation by the airline. Raj was my driver and he was brilliant! He always drove safely, was very punctual and above all, he was the happiest and most friendly tour guide. I really enjoyed the multiple fruit-stops we took along the way and Raj introduced me to lots of new foods. I did the 7 days/6 nights tour. I did so much in that time and loved all the activities that were planned. My favourite places were the Royal Botanical Gardens, Yala National Park, Little Adam's Peak and walking around the tea plantation in Newara Eliya. The scenic train ride to Ella is also a must! From hikes to wildlife safaris to beautiful temples, this tour has it all and at a good cost. Remember to factor all the entrance fees into your budget as the safaris are more expensive if you are travelling on your own at around 75 dollars (but so worth it!) and then all the other entrance fees are very low at just a few dollars. The hotels were all lovely and some had the most spectacular views! I can not recommend Beauty Lanka Travels enough - if you are considering a trip to Sri Lanka, book it! :)

Had a good time with Manuka - I had a good time travelling with Beauty Lanka and my driver Manuka. He picked me up in a nice car from the airport and followed the pre agreed itinerary perfectly, explaining as much as he could along the way. He was also very helpful with getting me tickets for the train and accessing the temples etc. Keeping in mind that it's essentially a self guided tour, and the driver doesn't come into the temples or caves with you, I still found the tour to be very enjoyable. Make sure you do your homework though beforehand on the activities, just so you have the information about what you should expect in terms of costs and significance etc. I found myself googling quite a lot just to make sure I didn't miss what I was meant to be looking at etc..some places you can hire a guide if you want. (Make sure you know the correct times to visit also- things such as the tooth relic are only at specific times, and the caves close periodically throughout the day for periods of 15mins) The only negative about the tour is that the hotels, although nice, are miles away from the towns. So if you want to experience the nightlife and restaurants in the area, you will have to arrange for your driver to drop you off and collect you (or catch a tuk tuk). Otherwise you will be stuck eating food each night in the hotel.

Flexible itinerary and delivered as advertised - I found Beauty Lanka Travels by chance and after checking with a couple of other tour companies, I found them most responsive and affordable so I decided to book a 6 day, 5 night package with them. The booking process was done through WhatsApp and they asked me for my flight itinerary to confirm that I really was coming. They were flexible with the actual tour itinerary and I ended up doing the following based on friends' recommendations and research: Day 1 - Pick up from Colombo airport, drive to Sigiraya, hike up Sigiraya Rock ($30). Stay in Sigiraya. Day 2 - From Sigiraya, go to Dambulla Cave ($10), drive to Kandy. Visit the Sacred Tooth Temple (Rs 1,500) and watch a cultural dance (Rs 1,000). Massage in Kandy (Rs 4,500) Day 3 - From Kandy, go to a tea plantation in Nuwara Eliya (free) then take the train from Nuwara Eliya to Ella (Rs 1,000). Hike Little Adam's Peak, get another massage (Rs 3,000) and spend the night in Ella. Day 4 - Hike Nine Arches Bridge (free), wait for the 11:50am train to take a photo. From Ella, drive to Tissamaharama. Stay in Tissa. Day 5 - Early pickup for the Yala safari ($50). After the safari, drive to Mirissa. There was an option to go whale watching, snorkeling or scuba diving, but we preferred to just take it easy and hang out in town. Day 6 - From Mirissa, drive to Colombo and spend the day in Colombo. Fly out. We were driven around in a fairly new and well-maintained Honda Fit Shuttle, and we had bottled water available at our disposable throughout our journey. Gas, tolls and our hotel stay were part of the fee, as advertised. I agree with one of the previous reviews here that said that the hotels that the company booked were unfortunately quite far from town, but I suppose that's a compromise since we did have a driver at our beck and call. The hotels were better than I expected, with warm hosts and a predictable breakfast menu at each stop. Our driver was Raj and he was punctual and communicated our options and itinerary well. He assisted us in some of the sights, got us tickets for the Nuwara Eliya to Ella train ride, helped us book our Yala safari, and even introduced us to wood apple and king coconut beverages. He had a couple of recommendations that were completely off, but I recognize that he must be basing his suggestions from second hand information. I suggest checking TripAdvisor for information from fellow travelers. Our trip would have been better if he were on the phone a little bit less. He was constantly receiving phone calls during our trip. All in all, we had a good experience in Sri Lanka thanks to Beauty Lanka Travels.

Great Overview of a beautiful country - Just finished an 8 day tour around Sri Lanka and I must compliment my driver Raj for doing a great job. He was punctual, knowledgeable & very reliable and did his best to show the beauty that the country has to offer. There was great variety of landscape and experiences, e.g. majestic mountains, hills and valleys, beaches and interesting safari! Malintha, who was my point of contact, was prompt and helpful too. Accommodation wise, some hotels/guest houses were less than ideal - sheets not entirely clean, remote and far from amenities and they served eggs and bread for breakfast every day! Some variety would have helped. A suggestion for improvement would be to give guests some advice in advance on the cost of various optional activities like the safari and whale watching. Perhaps I should have asked beforehand too but those interested in future trips should take note of this.

Too much travelling - Firstly the guide left us sat waiting outside the port for 30 minutes without coming over to check it was us. He gave no commentary during the drive, it was a long drive to the turtle hatchery which was over 2hrs. Bentota river safari was excellent but that was due to the boat driver and guide, lunch was excellent. We changed the tour to have longer at the river safari then go to a local beach rather than Galle as it was over an hour away then we'd have the long drive back to port, I think they tried to do to much in this tour and most of it was travelling.
