Best trip- highly recommended! - Our trip went great and really smooth. Our guide Mahesh was really sweet and informative, and made sure we got the best experience ever, whether it was teaching us about the culture and history of sri lanka- or taking us places that wasn’t in the program, but something he wanted us to see. For example, he wanted us to taste the real sri lanka, and showed us some local kottu, their beloved dessert curd, and lots of local fruits. He also made room for things we wanted to do and not do. The hotels were very nice and most of the experiences were really interesting and fun! The city/mountains of Ella and the Safari in Yala were our favorites. Definitely recommend this trip for a busy, adventure-packed 8 days!

Unforgettable Journey - We had a wonderful time exploring Sri Lanka with Kushan as our guide! He was incredibly caring, always attentive to our wishes and made sure we felt safe and welcome at all times. From picking us up at the train to sharing local insights, he gave everything. It was our first time in Asia and thanks to Kushan, we felt right comfortable. We’re grateful for the unforgettable memories and can highly recommend him and this trip!

A visit way beyond all expectations. - Visiting Sri Lanka has truly been an experience beyond all expectations. The country's breathtaking nature and the warmth of the Sri Lankan people made it the most beautiful place I have ever visited. One of the highlights of the trip was undoubtedly our guide, Chamila. From the very beginning, he made us feel welcome and comfortable, and within just a few days, it felt more like traveling with a friend than with a guide. He was incredibly attentive and flexible — always suggesting extra places to see and experiences to try, beyond what was originally planned, if we were up for it. Everywhere we went, we were met with genuine hospitality and heartfelt kindness. The warmth and openness of the people made a lasting impression, and it’s something I’ll carry with me forever. All in all, this was a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and I can’t recommend Sri Lanka — and Chamila — enough.

Great experience and beyond the usual - We were 4 friends going and had a totally fantastic trip! Our guide Chamilla was beyond our expectations and always gave 110% for every trip + the extra so we always got as much as possible out of every day. Chamilla was young and fresh and we sounded super good with him. There was no finger to put on this trip. He always took care of us and whether we were well. Can definitely recommend this trip!

Magiske Sri Lanka - We had a lovely trip. Our guide did everything he could for us to have a good time. The hotels were nice. All in all a wonderful excperience . We especially enjoyed Kandy with hiking on knuckles Mountain and Ella. We would prefer if there wasnt too many detours and activities that arent mentioned in the original program to have more spare time. But all in all we highly recommend and are very happy with the tour and driver!

Around the majestic island of Sri Lanka - Getting a tour and a chauffer is the best thing to travel sri lanka in one go. Very convenient since you will be travelling around the island. Aside from the fact that the people are very accomodating and hospitable. Kudos to Mahaweli tours for fixing the itinerary in the best experience the island has to offer

Fantastyczne trip with children. - We had a fantastic experience with Mahaweli Tours during our family trip to Sri Lanka! From the very beginning, everything was perfectly organized and tailored to our needs. Traveling with children can be challenging, but thanks to their professionalism and attention to detail, our journey was smooth and enjoyable. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and always ready to help. He made sure we felt safe, informed, and entertained throughout the trip. The driver was also excellent – very skilled, patient, and always punctual. We felt completely comfortable and well taken care of. The kids loved every moment of the adventure, and we created memories that will last a lifetime. We highly recommend Mahaweli Tours to anyone visiting Sri Lanka – especially families traveling with children!
