Overall Trip Experience :
We had the most amazing family holiday in Sri Lanka- so much to see, do and experience. We couldn't understand why there were so few western tourists there-but it was lovely visiting attractions and being surrounded by Sri Lankans enjoying what their country has to offer. The accommodation was all excellent and the food...what can I say? It surpassed all my expectations.

Thanks for being so flexible. Our trip was delayed 11h and we missed our connecting flight and lost our first night. It was appreciated that you were able to offer a refund for the first night without being asked.
Overall Trip Experience :
We had a great time and grateful that we committed to our trip. Sri Lanka is a beautiful country and we were treated so well by the locals. The hotels were mostly great (one was adequate) and were offered upgrades in a lot of places. It was sad to see the events have affected the tourism industry so greatly but probably worked in our favour as we had access to incredible sites without the crowds. The food and people were fabulous and we felt safe at all times.

Exotic Lanka Holidays were recommended by a friend and we weren't disappointed. It was a great way to see so much of this wonderful country.
Overall Trip Experience :
All the tours and attractions were excellent and very well planned. Karu was very knowledgeable and was willing to change plans to fit with what we wanted to do. He was very friendly and an excellent and safe driver.
Would you recommend Exotic Lanka Holidays?
The highlights of the tour for us were both the Sigiriya rock fortress (you absolutely can't miss this) which rivals any of the temples in Siem Reap and also the jeep safari through Minneriya National Park. I've never seen elephants just wondering around in the wild and so many had babies with them - could have stayed for hours just watching. Thanks for putting together such a great itinerary and making sure all our needs were looked after. We were so glad we didn't cancel following the terrorist incidents - I hope tourism returns to the heights pre-bombing days. The locals were really grateful to see us - what a great trip.

Dear Sharon, Thank you so much for taking the time to submit the lovely feedback. It's really nice to hear that you enjoyed the trip to Sri Lanka as well as the guide we allocated for the tour.

From the moment we contacted Exotic Lanka, we were provided excellent service that was very accommodating of our busy work schedules and often included contact after usual business hours. Due to the unforeseen circumtances in Sri Lanka at Easter 2019, we decided to change our trip from Sri Lanka to the Maldives a week before departure and Exotic Lanka managed this exceptionally.
Overall Trip Experience :
Our trip to Kurumba Resort in the Maldives was relaxing and adventurous in equal measure. Our holidays are usually busy with activites and we were worried an island holiday might not be adventurous enough; however in just 5 days we enjoyed snorkelling, diving, kayaking, yoga, a jet ski tour to neighbouring islands, delicious buffet meals and still managed to unwind with massages in the day spa and cocktails by the pool. The scenery both above and below the water was absolutely stunning, exactly like the pictures!

Dear Jane and Carol, It is really nice to hear you had a wonderful time in Sri Lanka. It is also great to hear that the private tour we organised was value for money.

By the way, thanks for your understanding about the accommodation situation. Due to a change of management, the transition of the handover has not been smooth hence the reason for some of the issues you experienced upon your check-in. We will be not using this accommodation until a smooth transition has been done. They also plan to refurbish the accommodation in the near future.

Buddhi was the most amazing driver/guide. Even though his baby boy was one week old when we arrived, he was so dedicated to making our holiday the best! He climbed the rock at Sigiria with me, he helped Phil get up the steps to the cave temples at Dambulla. He drove competently, following the English cricket team into Kandy, made sure we were “caffeinated after the Temple of the Tooth and showed me more elephants than I could ever hope for. And finally after touring Galle, stayed near by when we had four days on the beach at Ahungalla before delivering us back to the airport in the middle of a storm. He truly was a gem!

There were 8 of us travelling together, all old friends in time and age and Sri Lanka was a great experience.

Damitha did an excellent job organizing the tour right from the start. Given the short notification of signing up for their tour, the itinerary covered a range of attractions and definitely met all expectations. Damitha is also very accommodating, any questions and queries were responded in a quick manner. There are also opportunities (time permitting) to do the optional tours which is a great way to see the culture of Sri Lanka.
Overall Trip Experience :
Sri Lanka is a beautiful country and the people are friendly. This experience was only made easier through Exotic Lanka holidays. It is very stress free from the time you arrive at the airport. Our driver Srikantha was extremely knowledgeable. Throughout the trip we felt extremely safe and well hydrated with the bottles of free water.
Would you recommend Exotic Lanka Holidays?

Absolutely one of the best experience's i've had in my life. Being Sri Lankan born I had been on previous visits with family. This time however I travelled alone for the first time and was quite nervous in the beginning. However Damitha was wonderful in reassuring me and went out of his way to make sure I had the accomodation I requested, given the late notice bookings during peak period I couldn't have asked for more. The overall trip was stunning with memories to last a lifetime. Come and experience our beautiful beautiful country and don't hesitate in using Damitha to help you out! :) Thanks Damitha!!!!

Thanks for being so flexible. Our trip was delayed 11h and we missed our connecting flight and lost our first night. It was appreciated that you were able to offer a refund for the first night without being asked.
Overall Trip Experience :
We had a great time and grateful that we committed to our trip. Sri Lanka is a beautiful country and we were treated so well by the locals. The hotels were mostly great (one was adequate) and were offered upgrades in a lot of places. It was sad to see the events have affected the tourism industry so greatly but probably worked in our favour as we had access to incredible sites without the crowds. The food and people were fabulous and we felt safe at all times.

Madu was so gentle amidst our chaotic family...nothing was too much trouble, he was exceptionally knowledgeable and my son cried for 2 days when we returned as he missed him. Our driver Kumara was amazing - we felt as though we were in such safe hands. He also made the trip even more special with organising bday cakes, decorating the bus and arranging little roadside parties for my daughter and sister in law.

Full marks to Damitha and his team at Exotic Lanka for providing an exceptional level of service. His knowledge of Sri Lanka was spot on and provided a value for money trip with a high degree of flexibility, even to the point of arranging a couple of iconic train trips in the tea country and mountains. In a nutshell a tour with Exotic Lanka can be arranged to the clients requirements, a service sadly lacking with many operators.
Overall Trip Experience :
Having a driver/guide on a pre arranged tour is the best way to travel in Sri Lanka as trains/buses are often overcrowded and few and far between. We got to see out of the way places that don't appear in the travel guides, visited astonishing historical and cultural sites and experienced the warmth and hospitality of the Sri Lankan people.
