What was good about our local partner in Sri Lanka?
They were very courteous and prompt in responding
What could our local partner in Sri Lanka improve on?
They should understand the age and needs of their guests. Would you organise a trip for your parents aged 68 and 63 up a vertical cliff 1200 ft high? We did it but think it was foolhardy especially to allow my wife to do it. Also the accommodation needs to be organised according to the guests request.
What did you think about the guides or drivers on your trip?
The driver/ guide was very good and provided a lot of insight flora and fauna, culture and history of Sri Lanka.
What advice would you give to other travellers planning a trip to Sri Lanka?
I am keen to promote Sri Lanka to help the economy and the people as well. I will be able to advice how the trip should be planned. The local food was excellent and we enjoyed it thoroughly.
What was the most memorable part of your trip?
Climbing Sigiriya rock, even though it was foolhardy on our part. Colombo is a beautiful city, very clean and all the roads we travelled were well maintained.
We are in our sixties and the physical part of the tour was not suitable for us. We also requested 3 to 4 star hotels but don’t feel the accommodation met our lifestyle. Maybe at the outset it would be good to identify the age group of the guests and their choice of accommodation and how they wish to spend their time. Overall it was very hectic for us and we were happy to relax in Colombo for three days at the end of the tour.
