Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We went on a 8 days tour of Sri Lanka. We used Rainbow Tours as it was highly recommended by friends back home.
The planning from the start was very smooth. Admin personnel handling our queries was very patient and obliging. Gave us recommendations and customize our itinerary as per what we want. He was also very responsive and answered all our questions!!

Our guide/driver was awesome. Wasantha is just a kind and caring person. He made sure we are taken care of. He arranged everyth for us and made sure we are safe at all times. He went above and beyond his means to make sure we are having a great time. He suggest places and let us decide what is comfortable w us. He recommmended us lovely beach cafes and yummy restaurants to eat at.
He was a very experienced and careful driver and we feel safe at all times! Thank you Wasantha and Rainbow Tours for making our trip so sweet fun and memorable! We will be back for sure. I highly recommend them !!

We couldn't have wished for a better driver and guide than Wasantha ( Rainbow Tours) who my sister had also used a few years ago. Wasantha is very friendly and knowledgeable and he speaks English exceptionally well. Wasantha was sensitive to our interests and preferences and ensured throughout our trip that we saw and experienced everything possible on our tour. Wasantha negotiated with specialist tour guides on our behalf when we visited the UNESCO sites and main attractions. He secured a place for us on the Ella train when we had problems with our booking. We could not have managed without him at times!
Wasantha also found us an experienced driver and guide who spent 5 hours with us in Yala reserve and was experienced in spotting and identifying rare birds. He located many other wildlife, including leopards! We will definitely return to this beautiful country and contact Rainbow Tours again to plan our tour.

This was my second time booking with Rainbow Tours Sri Lanka, and once again, they delivered an unforgettable experience. Our three-day adventure with Rainbow Tours Sri Lanka was absolutely fantastic! From the cultural show in Kandy to the sacred relic of Buddha's tooth, every moment was filled with wonder. The train ride to Ella was breathtaking, offering stunning views of Sri Lanka's natural beauty. We also visited a tea plantation, which was a fascinating experience. The safari on our last day was thrilling, with sightings of incredible wildlife. Our guide, Wasanta, was exceptional, ensuring we had an unforgettable trip. Overall, Rainbow Tours exceeded our expectations. Highly recommended for an unforgettable Sri Lankan adventure.

Rainbow Tours were great. Peter is super organized and very helpful setting up our schedule, whilst Wasantha our guide could not have been more accommodating. They made our visit very easy and relaxing.

This is a long overdue review for what was the most wonderful trip. We spent three weeks in Sri Lanka for our honeymoon, and couldn’t have asked for a better holiday. From first contact with Rainbow Tours we knew that it was going to be special, as they work with you to design a bespoke itinerary which perfectly suits your travel style and budget. The whole planning process was seamless and we were given so much advice, we really felt that they spent time working with us to make it the best possible experience.
Once we arrived and met Wasantha we knew we would have a good time. He has come highly recommended - first taking my parents around the island for their silver wedding anniversary and then hosting various friends on my parents recommendation. It was an absolute pleasure to be shown around by Wasantha as he has an incredible depth of knowledge about the country. His love for Sri Lanka really comes across and we learned so much from him. By the time we left we felt like we were saying goodbye to a good friend.
I cannot recommend Rainbow Tours more highly, it was a wonderful honeymoon which we will never forget.

Wow, what an easy tour to take. This was one of the best tours I have been on and would certainly recommend Rainbow Tours Sri Lanka to anyone heading over there. So much was packed into our week, it was unbelievable.
Our schedule was very well planned out and personalized to suit our preferences and budget. We covered so many wonderful sites that we would not have been able to do on our own and having accommodation waiting for us at the end of the day took the stress out of our holiday.
Our tour guide, Wasantha, was fantastic, he was courteous, considerate as well as patient and had a very keen eye for spotting wildlife. Wasa went above and beyond his duty for us, taking us to any destination we required, even shoe shopping, all whilst keeping to the tour schedule.
We would certainly book again with Rainbow Tours Sri Lanka for a stress free tour. What as awesome experience.

Our driver Ŵasa picked we 4 older Australian women up from a remote Ayurvedic wellness Centre in south East of the Island and drove first to Ella, in the heavy rain, to spend night before boarding Jungle train to Nuyo oya, then spent the next 5 days very capably driving us to ancient ruins and spiritual sites off the main tourist trail. He was most considerate of our age, and humoured our singing. Rainbow Tour's tailor made our trip and made changes when necessary.
Having travelled many lands and participated in a few tours during the past 50 years, I really recommend Wasa and Rainbow Tours.

I recommend Wasa to all those who decide to travel to Sri Lanka. Wasa, the driver of the tour, is a great and always careful person. He was concerned that we spent a superb day every day.

He helped us a lot during our trip. Our trip in Sri Lanka would have been really sad without him.
Booking the tour with Wasa was the best choice we had taken during our trip.

In practical, he has always been there to help us, no matter our requests. He has offered activities based on us and our requests, from the touristic places to the very local spots.

I can't thank him enough for everything he did for us ! I would love to meet him again, in Sri Lanka or wherever, to share a drink together !

Still a big thank's for everything Wasa!

Thanks Wasantha for making our trip a unforgettable memory !

We met him by chance when we were in Sri Lanka, and he became our driver for a reasonable price.

He understood directly what we liked, he adapted exactly the trip for the group we were (a group of 6 Belgian guys), and brought us to hidden places, typical restaurants and gave us a lot of advices for making this trip more enjoyable.

More than a driver, Wasa became a friend, and he did way more than our first expectations, drove us at every place we wanted to visit, and made us discover the country.

Thanks for everything Wasa
