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 had Shan with us for 4 days and he made the experience so seamless! He was very accommodating to everyone's personal preferences with a smile on his face no matter how tiring the day had been! He helped us with reccomendations regarding food or shopping. His sunny disposition also encouraged my parents to plan a trip to Srilanka! Will reccomend SLE tours to everyone who comes! Thanks alot Shan for your help!

    Kandula was a great driver. Picked us up from the airport on the first night, and then took us on a four day drive from Colombo to Dambulla, Sigiriya, Kandy, Ella and Galle. He was reliable, happy and full of helpful tips which enhanced our experience greatly. He was also great dealing with people in relation to our hotel, restaurant and tour bookings. Highly recommended.

    Well planned itinerary, enjoyed my trip very much. The consultant, Nimesha had been very approachable and go the extra mile in ensuring a smooth and enjoyable trip for us i.e, prompt responses in customising the itinerary and constant check in during the trip. Our guide is very professional. He ensures our needs and wants are taken care of as he makes adjustments when necessary and cater to our requests. He makes us feel comfortable and safe throughout the trip. He also shares recommendations and tips which are very helpful for first timers to Sri Lanka. I fell in love with Sri Lanka. It is so beautiful!!!

    Mano made our Sri Lanka tour amazing! We are so grateful that he gave us memories for life. Mano is always there if we need him, takes care of us, stops at the right places, and is solely focused on ensuring we have a great time. He even invited us to his home for a very delicious lunch. Thank you so much, Mano! The best driver/guide we could have had on our trip.

    My driver and guide Mr. Kaveesha was prompt, courteous, and most importantly a safe, excellent driver. He made changes in the schedule when I requested them. I learned about the country's culture and even had an opportunity to visit with his family. The hotels all had a unique character and the meals varied. The office communicated in a timely manner and was patient with my questions. I saw all the highlights of the country but never felt rushed.

    We began our trip from Colombo and headed to the east coast of the country. Our driver Mr Anura De Zoysa arrived at our hotel on time for us to be picked up. He was friendly, caring and accommodating to all our needs as we were traveling with a 2yr old. He even took care of our daughter a few times when we had to step into stores or when we were having our meal. He was very knowledgeable of the roads , drove safely and knew what the fastest route was without having to use google. We thoroughly enjoyed an 8 day trip across the country and it was in large part due to Mr. Zoysa.

    First time playing escape room and we picked the hardest difficulty for the fun. It was exhilarating to use our brains to detect clues and unlocking chests & doors.

    I would highly recommend Best of Lanka to anyone wanting to visit Sri Lanka. They couldn't have done more to ensure that we had a truly memorable experience. The country is very varied and beautiful and the wild life safaris were exceptional as we saw and learnt so much. Our driver Dula was amazing, nothing was ever too much for him and he made every day special. I cannot say enough good things about both Sri Lanka and Best of Lanka. One of the best holidays I have ever had. I would love to go back and see more of this lovely country with Best of Lanka.

    I did the Splendor of Sri Lanka 8 day tour with Beauty Lanka. My driver and tour guide Malaka made sure I had the best experiences and I saw all the amazing sights and scenery! Elephant jeep safari was the best! Tea plantations, train ride and beaches all beautiful. I was very happy with all the hotels. The hotel room views were fantastic. I am a senior solo traveler and Malaka made sure I was always comfortable. He took great care of me! Thanks Malaka!

    We returned from our 3-week trip to Sri Lanka on Saturday. We first spent 2 weeks in Matara on Polhena Beach. Even then we were very impressed by the warmth and helpfulness of the people. They always greet you with a friendly, open smile.
    After that, our dear tour guide "Sri" picked us up in Matara and we set off on a week-long trip. Yala National Park, past tea and rice fields, train journey from Ella to Nanuoya, fantastic wildlife (and we even saw a leopard in Yala National Park) ... it was simply a fantastic trip all round. Well organised by "Buddhi" and his team. "Sri", our tour guide, always accompanied us and showed us his country with great enthusiasm and experience. He was not only a great tour guide but has already become a friend. Thank you very much. Sonja, Patrizia, Gianni

    We had a great time in Sri Lanka, thanks to Mr. Sana, our driver from MySL Travel company. Mr. Sana was so kind and kept telling us details about Sri Lanka. We felt comfortable and relaxed. Everything was perfect and we will definitely come back again.

    My tour was simply fabulous with my tour guide Pink Panther. I was able to view areas of columbo while touring Galle. Pink Panther provided me with excellent service by accommodating me to view the sites I was interested in only. The tour started promptly. We went fruit sampling/shopping at local vendors and the fruit was simply yummy/fresh. I never felt rushed, I felt safe at all times, transportation provided was modern and extremely clean. The company was great about responding to any needs/concerns that I had right away. The company help me design the tour that was suitable for me. Galle is a must see while in the area. This is definitely a company to use especially if you are in favor of a company that caters to your needs/wants.

    Genuine Sri Lankans tours cab service is really great. We are really delighted with the service and special shoutout to our fantastic guide Chattu, who was very humble and patient guy, who took us all around our selected places and made all our travel moments really cherishable for us.

    He has an amazing knowledge about his country's culture, heritage and is very passionate about his profession.

    I would highly recommend his service if you are travelling to SriLanka.

    Thanks once again dear Chattu for everything in making our travel cherishable and great memories to remember.

    Chattu, you are really an amazing and awesome person :)
