★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 15 reviews · from $275

Ride Sri Lanka’s blue train through tea country, explore Kandy and Nuwara Eliya, and visit temples, gardens, waterfalls, and a tea factory.

“I got a completely different experience than almost every other review here. My guide wasn’t really a guide at all but more like a private driver. He didn’t really say a word the entire 2 days to me as he didn’t speak english well. But he was a great driver, always on time, and dropped me off and picked me up everywhere like clockwork. I accepted that I basically paid for a private chauffeur for two days which is fine. Still had a good time seeing all the sights, and as promised, they took care of all train tickets, hotel, etc.”

★★★★★★★★★★3.8 · 6 reviews · 2 days · from $292

Spend two days chasing blue whales from Mirissa while exploring Galle Fort, Bentota River, beaches, temples, and turtle conservation sites.

“The tour was everything I had expected and envisioned it to be - we had a very friendly and knowledgeable guide, who explained to us certain histories and information about the places we passed, or was going to. He made sure we were well settled into our hotel for the night, and was ready to help us at any of the other excursions. I really enjoyed the river cruise - as I did not know what to expect, and saw the amazing wildlife the mangroves had to offer us! My only complaint is that the hotel room we stayed at had very little air conditioning, and the room and bathroom…”

Sri Lanka Cultural Triangle Private 2-Day Tour+Wildlife Tour

11.Sri Lanka Cultural Triangle Private 2-Day Tour+Wildlife Tour

★★★★★★★★★★3.5 · 4 reviews · 2 days · from $295

See Sri Lanka’s sacred sites, Sigiriya, Polonnaruwa, Kandy, tea country, and a Minneriya elephant safari on a fast-paced private tour.

“Sigirya è la tappa più bella, abbiamo puntato a vedere l’alba dal picco, quindi ci siamo svegliati molto presto e con i suoi 1.200 gradini circa, sicuramente prende la coppa come tappa più faticosa. Il safari è emozionante e Polonnaruwa è notevole. Cosa cambierei? Il tempio di Dambulla con altri innumerevoli gradini da salire, eviterei di posizionarla subito dopo Sigirya, vista l’estrema fatica precedente 🥵. Giardino botanico interessante. Kandy carina.”
