Even though we planned our trip just a few weeks in advance, they provided a great itinerary and excellent hotels. We had breakfast and dinner included for the entire trip, which was very convenient.
A special thanks for the train journey from Nuwara Eliya to Ella; tickets are usually booked a month in advance, but they managed to secure first-class seats for us! It was a beautiful journey. We loved visiting Sigiriya, Kandy, Nuwara Eliya, Galle, Bentota, and Colombo. It was a wonderful experience for us.
