I’m convinced that if you want to truly get to know this country - !A great trip with an even better driver and guide — Mathews Sri Lankan traditions combined with great fun and the rich culture of this place. I’m convinced that if you want to truly get to know this country, you should explore it with him. We already arrange lions rock day tour with them. Prefect experienced and well organized.

Fantastic trip with stunning views - It was a wonderful trip starting 5:30 am and we were back in the hotel at 8 pm (starting from Weligama). Yes it is a three hours ride from Weligama to the first stop but the hikings, the vegetation, the views: all worth driving

Super convenient and well organized trip - Our Ella day tour was absolutely amazing, made even more special by our fantastic guide. He was professional, friendly, and full of knowledge about the local history, culture, and hidden gems around Ella. From the breathtaking views at Nine Arches Bridge and Little Adam’s Peak to the serene beauty of Ravana Falls, he made sure we experienced the very best of this stunning region. He kept the day well-organized, yet flexible, allowing us to enjoy every stop without feeling rushed. His storytelling and insights brought each place to life, and he went above and beyond to make the tour comfortable and memorable. If you’re planning a visit to Ella, we highly recommend booking this tour. It’s the perfect way to experience the highlights in just a day, and having such a knowledgeable and passionate guide makes all the difference.

Scenic Slice of Sri Lanka – Ella, Lipton Seat, and the Train Journey of a Lifetime! - Our tour to Ella from Mirissa was nothing short of magical. Yes, it was a long drive — but every hour on the road offered a window into the real Sri Lanka. Rolling hills, misty mountains, smiling villagers, and roadside fruit stands created the perfect backdrop for our journey into the island's lush interior. Ella itself is a charming little town nestled among tea-carpeted hills. The vibe is relaxed, the air crisp, and the views simply jaw-dropping. The Nine Arch Bridge was even more impressive in person than in pictures. We arrived just as a train rumbled across it — a bucket-list moment that felt like a scene out of a movie. The walk through the forest to get there added to the experience — peaceful, green, and full of birdsong. The highlight for us, though, was the trip up to Lipton’s Seat. We took a tuk-tuk through the Lipton tea plantation, winding through emerald green fields, waving at tea pickers, and taking in some of the most spectacular views in the country. At the summit, where Sir Thomas Lipton himself used to sit and admire his empire, we were treated to a 360-degree panorama that stretched for miles. It was cool, quiet, and deeply serene. And of course, the Ella train ride — what an unforgettable experience. It lives up to the hype and then some. Hanging out the open doors, gliding through tunnels, past waterfalls and villages... it felt like we were part of something timeless. Despite the long haul from Mirissa, this tour was the perfect way to explore the heart of Sri Lanka. We saw so much of the countryside, from coast to hills, and came away with a deeper appreciation for the island’s natural beauty and culture. Highly recommend this experience for anyone who wants more than just beaches — this is Sri Lanka at its most magical.

The Best Day Tour Ever - An early start (4am) it was worth it. We were given all of the information about our trip via WhatsApp the day before, this was easy to follow and everything went according to schedule. All perfect. You skip the crowd at each attraction. The early wake up is worth it, and you’re back during the afternoon. Dinesh the driver is very engaged and very forward looking

A Deeply Disappointing and Misleading Experience – Not Worth the Price or the Stress - We booked the full-day Ella tour (waterfall, Nine Arch Bridge, train ride, and tea plantation) after reading the company’s many glowing reviews, and we chose to pay extra specifically for an English-speaking guide and an all-inclusive experience. Unfortunately, what we received was nothing close to what was advertised. Although the tour was promoted as “all-inclusive,” we were required to pay an entrance fee for the Lipton Seat viewpoint — in cash — something we were never informed about ahead of time. Bottled water was supposedly included, but none was provided at any point. We ended up buying our own at lunch. Evening snacks, also listed as included, were not offered at all. However, the biggest issue by far was that our guide did not speak English, despite this being a key feature of the tour and the reason we booked with this company. He was a lovely and polite young man who genuinely tried his best, but because he did not speak English, we spent the entire day visiting sites with no explanations, history, or context whatsoever. We learned nothing, and it absolutely ruined the experience we paid for. Every other tour group around us was getting detailed explanations in English, German, Russian — even in the pouring rain — while we stood silently without guidance. When we raised these issues with the company afterward, the excuses became progressively more frustrating. They blamed the weather, claiming the original guide couldn’t come because of personal issues, and insisted they had “tried their best.” But heavy rain has absolutely nothing to do with the ability to provide an English-speaking guide. That responsibility lies solely with the company. To make matters worse, they repeatedly offered us discounts on future tours or airport pickups, even after we clearly told them multiple times that we were leaving the country the next day and would not be taking any more tours. Instead of addressing the problem, they tried to upsell us, which felt disrespectful and tone-deaf. We requested a reasonable partial refund due to the fact that the most important part of the tour — the English guide — was not provided, and that the tour was not all-inclusive as advertised. The only refund they offered was 4,100 LKR that didn’t come close to reflecting what we paid, and ultimately they refused to provide anything meaningful. For a tour that cost 84,000 LKR, this experience was absolutely not worth it. It left us with a very disappointing final day in Sri Lanka, which is truly a shame because we loved the rest of our trip. I rarely leave negative reviews, but guests deserve honesty and transparency. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this company, and future customers should be aware of the gap between what is promised and what is actually delivered.
