Thanks for a great trip, we really enjoyed it and absolutely loved Sri Lanka! The tour content was fantastic, but pace was too fast for me. I did want to see a lot so this tour definitely ticked a lot of boxes but I'd also have appreciated some free time to break up the activity- perhaps one extra day would make a difference? A few other comments:
- Standard of hotels was excellent, but we had very little time to enjoy them - particularly the nice pools! As above, would be nice to have a few hours here and there to relax a little
- The elephant orphanage isn't for everyone, some in the group found this a bit uncomfortable
- Colombo tour wasn't great as felt like we were driving round in circles for no real reason! Perhaps a walking tour would be better?
- Aktar was a really informative guide, and shared loads of interesting cultural insights which definitely enhanced the tour. His welcome meeting was far too detailed for me though, and he spoke for long periods on the coach trips, sometime this was too much.
Overall a great tour, but hopefully a few helpful comments to inform future planning!
