Real people, real experiences
Fantastic experience, Tony is an expert in what he does, tailor making trips suited to what the customer wants to do. We visited Kandy, Pinnawala elephant orphanage, Spice garden and a Tea factory in one day and Udawalawe national park safari and elephant transit home on another day. Both days were packed full of what Sri Lanka has to offer. We will be back and we will be using Tony's services once again. Thank you
