The best Sri Lanka experience

30-Jan-2020

I had the most amazing 3 week trip ever to Sri Lanka. The island really does have so much to offer - nature, amazing beaches and countryside, beautiful wildlife, the most incredibly interesting historical and religious sites, wonderful food, good choice of accommodation to suit all budgets... I could go on and on! Undoubtedly the best way to see the country is to hire a guide and/or driver - it's the fastest way to cover a lot of ground and see all the sites but more importantly, it's how you are most likely to gain a true insight into the Sri Lankan way of life and the lovely Sinhalese people! I spent much of my time with the guide I met in Kandy. Together with a fantastic driver, we travelled around much of the country and had so many good times on the way. ...more ...less

Wonderful holidays

20-Mar-2025

We've recently come back from our holidays made by Paylesstoursindia. After around 14 days of sightseeing and relaxing we can rate this tour as a very good one. The selection of accommodation was very good in both countries. The driver Mr. Pradeep was very kind and friendly. He showed us additional places that were not in our itinerary and advised on places to eat and buy souvenirs. Sri Lanka impressed us by their landscape, lush greenery and friendly people. Maldives was very relaxing and a bit adventures thanks to lovely excursions. The hotel was also lovely with tasty buffet dishes we liked very much. The hotel staff did their best to make our stay very pleasant. We recommend this tour and we' d definitely trust this tour operator again. Many thanks ...more ...less

The best Tour

05-Feb-2025

We loved our tour from and through Sri Lanka to Maldives all the arrangements were made as planned and discussed before our journey there. We'd asked for 4-star hotel upgrading and a bit extension of the tour as well as 2 night in a water villa that was added on our special request. That was actually a cherry on the cake. All the places in the itinerary were shown by our driver without rush and we got plenty of time for self exploration of a few spots of our interests. We were invited to our driver's home for beer and snacks which was really lovely. Maldives was very pleasant and relaxing with a few exhilarating excursions. Our stay in a water villa was extremely deluxe and heavenly. We highly recommend this adventure. ...more ...less
