It exceeded our expectations.
The tour was fantastic, great group of people. The tour guide Mak went above and beyond our expectations. He was informative, fun, caring and gave us a real insight into the culture, people and had a vast knowledge of each place we visited. He went out of his way to make my birthday special whilst we were on the trip, and always ensured we were organised and happy. Fantastic trip all round.
The bicycle ride and lunch with the family was fantastic.
Mak was fantastic. He is a great asset to Exodus, knowledgeable, caring, funny and so passionate about sharing his country and vast knowledge with us. He made a great trip so memorable. We cannot thank him enough for his contribution to our holiday.
A lovely week with good hotels – my first ‘adventure’ holiday and as a solo traveller. The cycling day is great for viewing the countryside and getting nearer to rural communities, elephants in the wild (and sometimes on the main roads) including a rarer tusker and a baby, temples enriched by insightul explanations of customs from our guide, climbing the Sigiriya rock was strenuous but paced with good railings for support, interesting tea-growing and processing, The Grade 3 white-water rafting is definitely worth doing and not that scary though you need to be mobile to descend the steps to the river. Good food, if spicy, though Sanjeewa was a helpful guide on how spicy!
Very straightforward booking, direct communication by phone and email, easy arrangement of pre-tour hotel to fit with my prior commitments in Sri Lanka. Very interesting tour, nicely challenging for my inexperience of such trips, helped by being in a small and friendly group. Our guide, Sanjeewa, was a really great guide – very knowledgeable and professional but always there to support us with a good sense of humour too. Felt very safe throughout and very careful driving from Donald.
All of it as a whole was great and really enjoyable. Suited me very well as a first adventure holiday but I liked the blend of cultural interest and mild physical challenges with opportunity to see the wider country and landscapes beyond the urban.
Sanjeewa was a great guide and blended very well with our group whilst maintaining professionalism throughout. He was definitely a major contributor to my enjoyment of the tour and certainly to my learning about Sri Lanka and its culture. He answered all our questions about the country and was clearly very competent. He provided realistic expectations for the physical challenges so we knew in considerable detail what to expect. Sanjeewa is a great asset to the Exodus team in Sri Lanka.
The whole holiday was incredible and jam packed we didn’t stop and that’s why we love travelling with Exodus
Our tour guide and the people we travelled with
Mak was polite, hard working organised and delightful. His passion and knowledge of his country was wonderful and he wanted to share so much of it in such a short time. We all felt safe travelling with him and he went above and beyond to make our stay in Sri Lanka special.
Well organised, the guides were knowledgeable and friendly. The experiences on the trip were great.
Each day offered something new and exciting, but my highlight was the cycling through the villages and the meal delivered at the homestead. It felt ‘off the beaten track’.
The tour guide, Mak and his support team (driver and assistant) were excellent. Could not have been helpful and friendly. Mak’s passion for his country was so evident and his desire to give everyone on the trip a great experience was clear. Mak, was kind, caring, considerate and extremely knowledgeable.
This was a well planned excellent tour using a very comfortable, clean small bus. The hotels used were varied but all satisfactory, service, facilities and rooms were of a good standard.
The driver was competent and both he his assistant were courteous andhelpful. Inevitability there was quite a lot of travel, but there were sufficient stops and activities. The exception being the final day when it felf as though we spent most of the day in
We saw may sites and experienced a number of activities, yet rarely felt rushed.
Difficult ! Perhaps being so close to an elephant, perhaps the optional cookery class, but maybe the warmth and happiness of the population.
Danu was brilliant. We were totally ‘looked after’ as a group and personally from help finding ATMs, to checking we had sunhats, to recommending restuarants…. infact nothing was too much trouble. He was faultless. We were fortunate to be a small but very cohesive group who all got on well, initially this was due to Danu involving everyone at meals, having tables reserved for breakfasts etc. i cannot recommend him more.
Travel light, take every opportunity offered. Take the chance to chat and do any activities that use the locals. If the weather is overcast and warm use mosi repellent on the rafting. The additional cookery class was a real highlight and the food was superb. This tour only had one ‘selling’ event…. to a gem factory (the tea factory was very pleasant and informative with no ‘hard sell’)
I joined the trip in Colombo , meeting a friendly group of like minded travellers . The tour was well planned , encompassing many highlights of the ‘ cultural triangle ‘ . The visit to the tea plantation was interesting and informative , however the stay at Nuwara Elia was less so , since the town did not have much to offer in terms of interesting sights
There were several inspiring moments ; the caves at Dambulla were awe inspiring as was the visit to the ‘ Temple of the tooth in Kandy . Climbing ‘Lion rock ‘ in the early morning and experiencing the spectacular views . Encountering 25 elephants whilst on safari in the National park was a privilege
Danu was friendly , well organised and had an excellent knowledge of the history of Sri Lanka . It was a pleasure to have him as our leader .
The tour is quite ‘fast paced ‘ ; be prepared for relatively early starts . The weather can sometimes be cloudy with some rain so be prepared with suitable clothing
