Sri Lanka Budget Tours

  The only way to see this MUST see Country! - I 100% recommend Beauty Lanka for Sri Lanka tours but our guide, Indika was what made it special and brought the trip to life.

I booked with Beauty... read more Lanka directly, they were very easy to deal with and speedy response time to questions.

The tour itinerary was exactly what I was looking for and each day was filled with the perfect amount of touring. I was looking for a tour that was closer to the week mark (not 2-3 weeks like a lot of other itineraries) that included both Sigiriya and Yala. This did mean that every night was in a different hotel which can be a little tiresome, but worth it so we could see so much of this beautiful country.

Regarding hotels, we upgraded from the basic hotels that are included to the 4 star option. Each hotel was great, all were clean and had comfortable beds, wifi and air conditioning. The hotel in Ella was still under construction so no lift to get up to the 6th floor and all the amenities were in a neighbouring hotel including breakfast and dinner. I was a little sick of stairs by the end of that night! But the staff were so kind and the view out of the balcony across Ella was so lovely. The stand out hotel was the Oak Ray Tea Bush Ramboda. Stunning hotel, incredible view, fantastic shower which also had a view and the staff were so so so lovely. 10/10!

Save the best for last, our guide, Indika. Thank you so much for a wonderful time. We always felt safe and looked after. You are so knowledgeable and clearly have a passion for what you do and that is a pleasure to see. We will cherish the memories of the excitement when we saw our first leopard and laughing until we cried at the fish spa with you. I honestly hope we get to meet again.

To anyone considering this trip, do it. I’m sure all the guides are great but I hope you get my friend, Indika.

  Beauty Lanka Travels 7 day guided tour  - Sri Lanka has my heart! What a beautiful country with kind and warm people. The nature is absolutely mesmerising. I did a 7 day guided tour with Beauty Lanka Travels.... read more My guide was Sanjeewa. Very kind, really tried hard to show me as many places as possible. Whatever I wished to see he would stop there for me. I felt safe in the car with him - great driver. He always knew which are good restaurants to go to. 5/5 stars for Sanjeewa

I give 4/5 starts for the tour for the following: Somethings that are not listed in the itinerary but good to know. First day Elephant Safari was 80$ and Yala national park safari was 100$, I didn’t go for whale watching but I assume it’s the same price. Both safaris were totally worth it, but it would have been good to know in advance, especially if you are travelling on a budget.

Also, room for the improvement - send a list of hotels that were booked some time in advance. Some were different than the ones listed on the itinerary. For safety reasons as well. The hotels were decent. Some better, some not so much. The one in Kandy and Ella had amazing views!! As a solo traveler, I would opt for more busy ones to meet other people. The last night I decided to stay in a hostel to meet other travelers.

Finally, get in touch with the clients some days before the tour. I felt a bit insecure and nervous about when, what and how.

Anyways, thank you Beauty Lanka and Sanjeewa for the lovely time in Sri Lanka. My first Asia travel and I couldn’t be happier.

  A fantastic tour!  - We have had an amazing time in Sri Lanka. The company was very easy to book with and our guide Niran has been wonderful and amazing at making sure we... read more can see everything in the week we have had here. We have felt very safe in all the places we have been and have seen so much of Sri Lanka in just a few days. It is a beautiful country and some of the highlights for me have been seeing the elephants, the early morning walks, trips to tea factories and the train journey to Ella. I would absolutely recommend this tour to anybody that is thinking about it. 😄

Bohoma istouti !

  Amazing Sri Lanka  - We booked a 6 day 5 night private tour with Beauty Lanka Travels. We are satisfied and enjoyed our trip very much. Our driver and guide Mahesh did everything to... read more make our trip comfortable and he had shown us the best of the country.
The highlights in the trip for me was Sigiriya Rock, Dambulla Golden Cave Temple, Temple of tooth, Coconut tree hill and the beach in Mirrissa.
Accommodation was nice with all rooms are clean and tidy. Breakfast and dinner included in the tour was overall nice and delicious.

I recommend this tour to anyone who would like to explore Sri Lanka!

  Holiday of a life time!  - The best trip I’ve ever been on! The 8 days were filled with amazing sites and experiences. The highlights of the trip for me were the elephant safari, lion rock,... read more botanical gardens, Ella train and the snake farm (was hard to narrow down). I feel like we saw and learnt so much about Sri Lanka and I’d love to do it all again.

Our tour guide was Nishantha. He is incredibly knowledgeable about all the nature and history of Sri Lanka. He was also a really lovely and friendly person. We felt he went out of his way to make sure everything we wanted from the trip happened. I would highly recommend him to anybody wanting to do this trip.

Some of the days are very busy and a couple of early starts. This was good for us as we like to be kept busy. If that isn’t what you’d like then they will happily edit the itinerary to suit you better.

We felt the hotels on the trip were all really nice. With good air-con, good food and staff always willing to help, you can’t really go wrong.

5 stars all round from me and my partner. If you book this holiday have a lovely time.
