Magical tour in Sri Lanka - Our two-week tour with Ceylon Empire Travels, encompassing Negombo, Anuradhapura, Polonnaruwa, Sigiriya, Kandy, Nuwara Eliya, Ella, Bentota, and Colombo, was thoroughly enjoyable and exceeded all expectations. Our driver/guide was exceptionally courteous, skillful, and accommodating to our requests throughout the journey.
We were captivated by Sri Lanka's beautiful scenery and deeply appreciated the opportunity to learn about the history, architecture, and traditions of each location. Experiencing the local customs and cuisine further enriched our adventure.
This seamless and memorable experience was made possible by the meticulous planning and arrangements of the excellent team at Ceylon Empire Travels. We highly recommend their services.

Marvelous, full of new experience and suprisingly amazing - Vihanga is very responsive and professional. Easy to deal with her and always keep check on our well-being while Mr Roshan nothing to complain. Punctual, well dress, always ready and even willing to accompany us to the top of little adam peaks as both of us is not that fit but we manage to reach up there. I truly believed they deserved 5 star. Thanks for us.

Colombo Day Trip Sigiria - All-inclusive was very helpful because I had just arrived and didn't have any fine cash. Also, lunch was a great experience, as I imagined it would be a so-called tour lunch, but I actually got to experience it from a tour of the food in a traditional house. The driver was also very professional and gave us a variety of explanations, but it helped me to sleep at a reasonable distance when we were sleepy. There is no Japanese support, but this is recommended for those who can communicate in English at all.

Excellent and seamless solo travel - The Ceylon Empire team were so thoughtful and attentive. Nishadi planned my tour and booked excellent hotels, with great rooms. She also rang ahead with my dietary requirements which was so helpful. My driver Saman was absolutely brilliant. He also organised ahead with contacts and guides to ensure my trip was really special.

Week tour of Sri Lanka - We did a week’s tour with Ceylon Empire travels and absolutely loved it. The experience, right from booking and finalising the trip with Kitherai was brilliant. She responded to every query , almost at any time, virtually instantly.
Our driver and tour guide, Roshsn Perera, was absolutely brilliant. Lovely guy who’s safe driving and ability to flex the trip around what we felt like doing each day was just perfect.
I thoroughly recommend them.

Perfect way to tour Sri Lanka - Ceiling Empire Travels have been exceptional. The tour they planned perfectly meet or needs and carefully considered our flight times and jetlag to ensure we maximised our travelling experience without leaving us too tired. The hotels they selected for us were faultless, some of the best hotels we have ever stayed in. Our guide, Roshan, was simply outstanding. Happy to flex plans depending on our needs and the perfect gentleman in showing us around his wonderful country. Ceylon Empire Travels are very fortunate to have him as an employee. If we came back we wouldn't consider using any other company.

Excellent - It was a very professionally organized tour of Srilanka. We had a very wonderful experience of the whole tour . Right from the time we arrived at Colombo international airport till our departure back after the tour was Avery memorable. The car driver Mr.Chatu was very cordial and an extremely well mannered gentleman. All the hotels where we had stayed in the six days of our tour in Colombo, Sigiriya, Kandy, Nuwaraelia, etc was very good and we all had a very comfortable stay .
Now we are all going back to Hyderabad with wonderful memories of our Srilankan trip to cherish for ever
We wish to thank all the all the member of the Ceylon travels for their great hospitality and wonderful conduct of the tour

Excellent activity, disappointing service and guide - The “knowledgeable English speaking guide” picked us up and did not speak a word to us for 3 hour journey from Colombo to Sigiriya. He then told us to pay a guide for the trip round Sigiriya, which we refused as it was an all inclusive tour. I had to phone his boss to get this paid. We went for lunch, via somewhere he tried to sell us “add on tours” at additional cost which we declined. He then took us to Dambulla cave temples which he knew absolutely nothing about. We knew more about them by reading a brief guide before booking the tours. The experience of Sigiriya and Dambulla were excellent and would highly recommend a visit, but this is the worst Viator booked guide we have had anywhere in the world and we would have been better off with a friendly taxi driver.
