★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 32 reviews · 2 days · from $180Our pick

Review of a packed two-day Sri Lanka tour with tea country, waterfalls, train views, Dambulla caves, and Sigiriya, priced at $180.

“Positives: Kris our driver was very professional, local knowledge and a really good driver. the food stops were good but a bit far apart. The overnight stay was fantastic and so surprised at the quality of the accomodation, food and setting to be an inclusive of the trip. the schedule was packed with different activities with Sigiriya being the highlight. Negatives: The train journey was disappointing. We thought it would be a group trip by bus. The two day trip was a lot of km to be covered by car. maybe the schedule could be reviewed to cut out some of the milage. The windows of the car were very…”

2.Sri Lanka Private 2-day Tour:Train Trip, Kandy, Nuwara Eliya

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 15 reviews · from $275

Review this 2-day Sri Lanka tour from Colombo to Kandy and Nuwara Eliya, with a blue train ride, temples, tea country, and practical tips.

“I got a completely different experience than almost every other review here. My guide wasn’t really a guide at all but more like a private driver. He didn’t really say a word the entire 2 days to me as he didn’t speak english well. But he was a great driver, always on time, and dropped me off and picked me up everywhere like clockwork. I accepted that I basically paid for a private chauffeur for two days which is fine. Still had a good time seeing all the sights, and as promised, they took care of all train tickets, hotel, etc.”

3.2-Day Whale Watching & Southern Sri Lanka Tour

★★★★★★★★★★3.8 · 6 reviews · 2 days · from $292

See blue whales near Mirissa, explore Galle Fort, cruise Bentota River, and visit southern Sri Lanka sights on this busy two-day tour.

“Tour delle balene come immaginavamo bellissimo anche se non abbiamo avuto la fortuna di vederle in maniera plateale. Abbiamo visto anche i delfini… Consigliatissima la spiaggia di hikkaruwa dove abbiamo interagito con delle tartarughe giganti selvatiche.. visto anche piccoli squaletti… spiaggia molto bella. Autista top e per nulla invadente. Piacevole la gita sul fiume, abbiamo visto scimmie, coccodrilli, e uccelli. Noi abbiamo evitato il tempio di Buddha perché abbiamo preferito fare un bagno a mare visto il poco tempo a disposizione, era l’unica tappa sacrificabile.”
