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.

    Our guide Paramedi was super informative, we were in a small group (5) so it didn’t feel like you were in a big queue of tourists. We did the handmade tea tour and we learnt so much and really enjoyed it! Can’t wait to drink our tea

    Rajtha told us about the biology and process of tea making, rounded up with a tasting. Great program for a rainy or sunny day. You can also buy excellent tea from the source.

    If you’re a tea lover or someone who simply appreciates unique cultural experiences, this tea plucking tour is an absolute must! Specifically Sallay, our guide, was the highlight. Sallay was knowledgeable and shared fascinating insights about the history of tea cultivation, the different types of tea plants, and the harvesting process.

    The entire experience was well-organized and immersive. The staff were friendly, patient, and passionate about sharing their craft. I walked away not only with a deeper appreciation for the hard work behind every cup of tea but also with a small packet of freshly plucked leaves to take home.

    This tour is perfect for families, couples, or solo travelers looking for a unique and relaxing activity. I highly recommend it for anyone visiting tea-growing regions—you’ll never look at your cup of tea the same way again!

    Our experience was very good. Soon after booking Geesara, a journey coordinator WhatsApp me to confirm the details and when the tickets would be available. Geesara also happily answered a number of questions I had (confirmed train time, asking whether we would be sat together) and pleasantly followed up on the day to wish us a good trip and ask if we had enjoyed it! Absolutely great service!

    Both myself and husband enjoyed this trip. Got picked up at 4am and returned around 4pm. The driver was experienced and you could see he wasn't nodding off like previous drivers we have had. He picked us both up on time and drove us to Ella, where we took a small tuk tuk ride to view Adams Peak. Stopping off at a waterfall on route where we were able to take a few photos. We then got on a train ride from Demdora to Huptula, which lasted about 1 1/2 hrs and stopped at nine arch bridges, again another photo shoot. The scenery and train ride was really lovely. After being collected at Huptula we went to the tea factory and saw the process of how tea leaves are plucked by both hand and machine. Then saw all the processes to make into tea and had a special tasting. Afterwards we travelled home through scenic Ella and had lunch. The lunch was nice and views stunning. A lovely day and would recommend this trip. It was a little more money than a lot of other trips but again just me and my husband in a toyota car with experienced driver. And you were not taken to other touristy places. Definitely recommend it!

    Our guide was Aruna, who was excellent at his job. He was a good driver, and very reliable. He was also very informative. A lovely man to spend 13 hours with!!

    This as a very long day for us, but the places we visited and experienced made it worth while.

    We paid ÂŁ157 for two people which as well worth the money.

    The hotel recommended a local contact who quoted us ÂŁ187 each!

    So full marks to Viator.

    We had the best day ever with this tour, the operator who helped us book couldn't have been more helpful. Our taxi driver to the safari was excellent, very spacious and cosy. Then our star of the day, our safari driver. Made sure we had the best experience ever, all in half a day. We were so lucky to see what we seen, including leopards, elephants, bears, crocodile and so much more. Forever grateful

    It was a great trip organised by Beautylanka Travels. From organising to Bookings to the travel, everything was very smooth. Rajh our tour guide was excellent and very knowledgeable. He provided good information and he was very jolly. Rajh was always available whenever he was needed, even after reaching our hotels. I would highly recommend Rajh as a tour guide.

    Booked pickup from Ella via Udawalawe to Hikkaduwa.
    The driver arrived a bit earlier and was very friendly. He was a safe driver and nice to chat with. Comfortable car.
    The safari jeep and driver were also really good. Spotted lots of animals and had some really nice elephant experiences!
    Highly recommend!

    We were picked up from our hotel and driven to the Ella Rock walking trail by our guide. Our tour guide was AMAZING!! He shared so much local knowledge and gave us information as we walked through the tea plantations, vegetable crops, and hiked the trail. We even got to see the Sri Lankan Jungle fowl. I think we would have gotten lost or possibly injured if he wasn't with us. Definitely worth doing!
