Good value - Colombo is a big city so this is a good way to get a Quick Look around. Also good being able to customise aspects based on preference.

Our recent visit to Sri Lanka - Our recent 5-day trip to Sri Lanka was a delightful experience. We were captivated by the country’s lush greenery, well-maintained infrastructure, and the warm, courteous nature of its people. After arriving in Colombo on April 22nd, we visited a serene Buddha temple before heading to the coastal town of Bentota. The beach was beautiful, and the boat ride on the scenic River Madhu was truly unforgettable, with picturesque views all around. We then spent two days in the charming hill station of Nuwara Eliya, where we visited Ashoka Vatika and the Sita Rama temple. There, we were deeply moved to have darshan of the footprints of Hanuman ji, along with the idols of Rama, Sita, and Lakshman. The calm and pleasant nature of the people we met throughout the trip added to our joy. About the Driver: For the entire duration of our trip, we hired a taxi through TravelBeingdom, and we were fortunate to have Mr. Rumi as our driver. He was more than just a driver—he was an excellent guide and conversationalist who enriched our journey with his knowledge and cheerful demeanor. Always punctual and respectful, Mr. Rumi made us feel comfortable and safe, ensuring that each leg of our journey went smoothly. His professionalism and friendly nature significantly enhanced our overall experience in Sri Lanka.

Easy and worth it's value - An outstanding day trip. We saw everything we wanted and more and even came across a few hidden places. Very pleased with the service and cannot recommend enough. The small tall was excellent and we learned a lot about the country, the history, the different religions. Really was worth the time and money. Thank you for a wonderful day. 😁

Great day in Colombo - Dhananjaya was great, very courteous, friendly and accommodating. He went out of his way to show us the sights we wanted to visit. Unfortunately we ran out of time to see everything, maybe we should have spent less time at the tourist trinket store which we thought was overpriced (even though we had an 8 hour tour, there was more traffic on a Friday work week than we expected) we didn’t want to miss our cruise ship🤣. All in all we were very happy. The agency TravelbeindoM was great with communication and made sure to send pics of car/license plate and pick up point . We were impressed with their follow up on information and our questions Highly recommend this company and tour! Thank you for the tour.

Good Van and reasonable price - I recently booked my trip through Travelbeingsdom and I couldn't be more satisfied with the experience. From start to finish, they were professional, attentive, and incredibly helpful in tailoring the itinerary to my preferences. They took care of every detail, including flights, accommodations, and local tours, ensuring a hassle-free journey. What stood out the most was their prompt communication and ability to handle last-minute changes smoothly. Their recommendations for activities and dining were spot-on, making my trip memorable. I highly recommend Travelbeingdom to anyone looking for an stress-free and well-organised.
