Siamo venuti nel mese di gennaio 2024 per 6 giorni e abbiano usufruito dei servizi offerti da Ciao Sri Lanka. Avevamo guida e driver privato per girare nel Triangolo Culturale. Esperienza ottima, gestione professionale, perfetta in tutto. Gli alberghi proposti erano di qualità elevata, guide preparate. Lo consiglio vivamente. Ed in ultimo, prezzi davvero concorrenziali. Meritano davvero tutti i nostri complimenti.
We did the tour the first two weeks of August 2023, it was beautiful and we saw everything we wanted. Our guide Rohan was super helpful. We thank you for the wonderful holiday and for the precision in the organization. Super recommended trip with Ciao Sri Lanka Tours!!!
What a wonderful place! We toured Sri Lanka extensively in mid-August and were thrilled. An island rich in history, culture and breathtaking landscapes, made even more special by the friendliness and smiles of its people. The tour was excellent and our guide (Nandana) was very friendly and helpful. I absolutely recommend! "Ciao Sri Lanka"
I just returned from a tour of Sri Lanka. For the organization I entrusted myself to Manjula. Never was the choice more right. After contacting each other by telephone we agreed on a tour according to my wishes. I must say that the tour lived up to expectations. Manjula provided us with a guide and followed us step by step throughout the tour, giving us advice and checking that everything was going smoothly. Sri Lanka is a pleasant country to visit and Manjula is a great organiser.
Together with other friends we had decided to visit Sri Lanka in 2020 and finally this year (2023) from 17 August to 1 September we had the opportunity to travel far and wide through this beautiful country and get to know its splendid population. I contacted Manjula to organize the tour who with great courtesy, professionalism and competence catered to all our requests and needs. There were ten of us including 2 children and we traveled comfortably for 11 days (the last 4 we stayed at the seaside in Nilaveli) thanks to our driver\guide Moril who, on every occasion, proved to be available, attentive and competent. I recommend everyone to visit Sri Lanka for the variety of landscapes and places to visit, ranging from parks full of animals, to archaeological sites, seaside resorts and immense tea plantations. Thanks to Manjula and Moril we also had the opportunity to participate in impressive religious events such as the Esala Perahera and to learn more about the culture and cuisine of this country. Finally, I would add that the costs are very competitive and that the extreme variety of activities carried out was appreciated by all the tour participants and prevented the possibility of getting bored even for just a minute. For this reason I recommend visiting Sri Lanka as it is a splendid country that offers much more than you can imagine in every season of the year. And to do so, don't hesitate to contact Manjula; You will not regret it!!! Thanks again Manjula on behalf of the whole group.
Simply perfect! I organized this trip by contacting Manjula who was able to meet our needs in every way. Precise in the pre-trip phase, present and efficient during the trip. Congratulations for your professionalism!! I travel alone with my son and I felt safe. Highly recommended Ciao Sri Lanka Tours.
I contacted Manjula after seeing several positive reviews regarding driver-led tours of Sri Lanka. From the beginning Manjula was always available, he responded quickly to my requests and together we organized the tour according to our needs (I'll start by saying that it was my first experience renting a car with a driver... we usually always did the do-it-yourself"). The trip went very well, comfortable, not tiring and varied, gaining many experiences, especially integrating with the local people. Rohana (the driver) was very good and reliable, punctual for appointments. The trip was perfect, it went as planned. I recommend this local agency for the seriousness and skill demonstrated. Good value for money which I spent for my dream vacation.
Perfect trip. From the pre-departure itinerary organization to the service offered on site Manjula was perfect. Flexible in accommodating special requests and sincere in giving advice and merging places. Transits from one city to another organized in a punctual and efficient manner. The driver assigned to us was an exquisite person, ready to give lots of advice on what to see and many gems about the habits and customs of the place. After two days of traveling we already felt at home. I couldn't have asked for a better service, especially considering the asking price. Thanks thanks thanks!! To manjula boss and our Buddy (driver's name). Gabriele and Carolina
Two great lighthouses Manjula organized us 15 wonderful days in Sri Lanka, with a car a driver and all the hotels. He is really caring to his customers and for him it really matters that the people who visit the country will leave with a beautiful experience in their heart. This holds true also for the driver (same name of Manjula boss :)). We have been in tourist and non-tourist places (our preferred ones), in all of them within carefully chosen hotels and guesthouses, with beautiful panorama and welcoming hosts. The driver took really good care of us too because he brought us everywhere and explained how the Buddhist culture and religion are. We felt part of the country, having received a lot of explanation on history and people. From the rain forest, a beautiful treasury of Sri Lanka full of plant species, monkeys, lizards and birds, to tea plantations which paint the peaceful hills of lush greens, to the safari of elephants, leopards, crocodiles and birds, an adventurous journey to the national parks, to the astonishing Buddhist temples full of pilgrims, a path to places for self reflection, peace and ancient history, to the majestic fortress of Sigiriya, an ingenious gift from the ancient locals, to the street of the cities, getting in touch with locals and knowing better their culture. We will keep this experience in our heart and we owe it to Manjula who organized us an amazing trip and Manjula driver, who has been our lighthouse during day and night in this fantastic trip. Thank you both! Francesca & Valerio
We stayed in Sri Lanka from 1st to 17th July 2023. Manjula's organization was great. At the airport a driver welcomed us, when we said goodbye at the end we left a friend, this is MORIL. Always ready to fulfill our needs and requests. 12 days of tour and 4 at the seaside in Nilaveli. Visited spectacular and unforgettable places. In every place we went we were welcomed with great kindness. Driving in person is strongly discouraged. To visit Sri Lanka we recommend Manjula who we also spoke on the phone during our stay to check if everything was to our liking and to resolve a small problem with a hotel. With Ciao Sri Lanka we spent unforgettable moments.
come back from 12 days on this wonderful island that can be visited both in our summer and in our winter. we had an idea of places to see and Manjula tailor-made the trip for us. also very open to changes, he was always present from the organization phase and throughout the entire trip. Our guide Rohan was delightful and very kind, explaining many things to us, especially about local life. a fundamental thing for those reading this: never been on a trip with a driver before but, believe me, in Sri Lanka it is really difficult to drive if you don't have the mentality of the locals!!! therefore highly recommended trip and driver and the organization of Ciao Sri Lanka TOP!!!
We have just returned from a wonderful trip to Sri Lanka for 10 days. Manjula was immediately available and efficient, suggesting a travel itinerary that could be modified based on our preferences, and was always in contact with us, both before leaving and during the trip. Special thanks go to our driver, Udaya, who made this trip unforgettable. He was not just a driver, but a real guide, who always accompanied us with great passion and professionalism and gave us valuable advice. The organization is excellent, we didn't have to think about anything. The car was really spacious, comfortable and air conditioned. It was an incredible experience, in a beautiful country, and visiting it with the help of Manjula and Udaya was a great fortune for us.
We organized our entire stay in Sri Lanka with Manjula and couldn't be more satisfied. We then did the tour with one of his excellent collaborators, Carlo. A very knowledgeable guide and always with a great desire to tell stories. He does his job with enormous passion and is very good at telling local anecdotes and stories. You will completely enter into Sri Lankan culture and you will have a wonderful time.
Unfortunately, our holiday is now over, we can only say that the trip was wonderful, Sri Lanka really impressed and fascinated us more than we imagined. Manjula was very helpful in organizing and Sanjeewa, our guide, was very nice and proactive. We had unforgettable experiences and every day was a surprise. Absolutely recommended a trip to Sri Lanka with the support of Manjula and his team!
Two friends and I have just returned from Sri Lanka, I am truly happy and enthusiastic about the experience we had. Manjula is truly a helpful and kind person, she helped me according to my needs to create the perfect tour for me, modifying and adjusting it. I am really happy that I chose his tour operator as he really helped me a lot and was always available with calls and messages. Our guide Moril made us live this experience even better. This is a magnificent island and visiting it with the professionalism of Manjula and his team was the best choice.
My partner and I would like to thank Manjula for the professionalism with which she guided us in the discovery of this precious island. A wonderful experience that I would recommend to everyone, incredible landscapes and many activities to do enriched by this company which, in terms of value for money, is one of the best I have found myself with. If I ever return again I will have no doubts about who to contact. Thanks Manjula
