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.”
Reserve a second or third class seat on Sri Lanka’s scenic Nanuoya to Ella train, with paper tickets delivered to your hotel.
“Very good views and it was a memorable ride. Seats were comfortable. A little anxiety for not receiving the physical tickets earlier but it was still on time. It was confusing to find the seat numbers but we reached out to the uniformed staff to ask. Overall, the train ride really opened up our hearts to see endless hills and beautiful scenary of Sri Lanka.”
Every kind of day out on the island, and the best of each.
