During a whole week we have been travelling in Sri Lanka. What a marvelous experience!! The country has so many beautiful places to discover and being guided by a local tour guide is a “must” We have been very lucky that Mr Roshan has been the one that showed us his country in a very professional way. Sri Lanka is known as the “smiling nation” and Mr Roshan showed it that every single day and eager to make us feel comfortable. Thanks Sri Lanka for giving wonderful memories and Mr Roshan for his dedication. What an unforgettable experience!!
The most amazing honeymoon in the most amazing country! TripAdvisor recommends Columbus Tours Sri Lanka.
Holiday of a lifetime TripAdvisor recommends Columbus Tours Sri Lanka.
Our guide was Chanaka and he was very welcoming from the moment we arrived in Colombo Airport, nothing was too much trouble and he seemed to know everything and everyone in Sri Lanka – he was a fantastic guide nothing was too much trouble and his number 1 priority was ensuring we were happy and safe!
As for Sri Lanka, our tour consisted of 10 days sight seeing and travelling ending in 4 days resting on the East Coast – What a wonderful country, there’s no hiding away from the fact it’s been affected by the Easter attacks with tourism quiet at the moment but the people in Sri Lanka are extremely welcoming and warming and very keen to change this perception from tourists.
The sites/safaris/food/culture/tea plantations of Sri Lanka are incredible, Chanaka took us to some hidden gems and was always making sure we had the VIP treatment.
For me the service that was provided by Colombous Tours for our trip to Sri Lanka was faultless and the itinerary put together by them and Travel Counsellors was exactly what we wanted from our honeymoon, incredible from start to finish and I wouldn’t hesitate to reccomend the company or Sri Lanka as a travel destination.
Amazing tour of Sri Lanka TripAdvisor recommends Columbus Tours Sri Lanka.
I would like to thank our guide Priyal for making our trip to Sri Lanka so brilliant. He was friendly, funny and always happy, even after a whole week with me and my family! We visited so many amazing places and Priyal was very knowledgeable about all the places we visited. Our holiday was organized well. We visited so many amazing places and Priyal knew the best times to visit them. We ate at some restaurants that we would never have found on our own. The car we had for our trip was comfortable. I have no negative things to say about our time in Sri Lanka or Columbus Tours, everything was spot on. Our trip was made so much better because we had Priyal with us, he made the whole thing worth every penny. Thankyou for a great experience!
