A very good introduction to the multitude of sights and experiences that Sri Lanka offers–from ancient ruins to Buddhist temples, large expanses of botanical gardens and breathtaking views of the country’s tea plantations. We had an excellent driver and informative guides. With the exception of Kassapa Lion’s Rock in Sigiriya, the other accommodations were very good. I would have advised the tour website to offer some kind of mentions though as to how much walking or climbing would be involved in each activity.

This tour took us around most of the religious (Mainly Buddhist) temples and sites, with a brief look at the history of Srilanka.
I and my wife enjoyed most of it especially the learning process and being around the locals. In a couple of days, we managed to see temples, challenge our physical ability to climb the famous Lion Rock, taste Sirilankan tea and learn about Srilanka herps and spices!
Very informative and kept our schedule full with fruitful impact. But the weather spoils some of our experience.
