Customer Reviews on our 12 Days Trip
Awesome tour What an awesome 12 days with Manju. Since my first email to him he has been superb to deal with helping us create a trip that none of us will ever forget. Manju is a lovely person to have had to guide us around Sri Lanka. As well as taking us to all the main places of interests, he arranged local guides who were excellent. Showed us things and places we would have never normally found. So many highlights I can’t list them all . Thank you Manju for this amazing experience.
adrianrodd Redditch, United KingdomThe place to visit! We had an excellent 12 day tour of many of the important sites and sights of Sri Lanka with Manju's "Visit Lanka" company. We had a great time and covered far more of the Country than we could have ever managed in 12 days on our own. Comfortable and clean accommodation organised every night. Both Manju and his colleague Perera were entertaining,knowledgeable and safe drivers in often rather chaotic traffic. We would not hesitate to recommend "Visit Lanka" to anyone wishing to see the best Sri Lanka can offer and your time is limited.
Trevor & LinaIncredible! 10/10 experience If you're debating whether to book this tour, let me assure you—it's absolutely worth it! Manju and his team, Raja and Anura, were exceptional hosts who went above and beyond to ensure we had the best experience. They took care of every detail, so we never had to worry about a thing.The experiences on this tour were unforgettable! From safari tours where we saw incredible wildlife to exploring breathtaking temples rich with history and culture, every moment was a highlight. The hikes were stunning and well-paced, offering some of the most picturesque views.To top it all off, the food was phenomenal, every meal was a delicious and authentic taste of the region.Manju's thoughtfulness truly stood out. he surprised me with a birthday cake even though I hadn’t mentioned it was my birthday. He remembered my DOB from my passport, which I’d provided months earlier. This level of care and attention to detail was simply outstanding.I couldn’t recommend Manju, Raja and Anura more highly. Their care, hospitality, and passion for creating memorable experiences are unmatched. I’d book with them again in a heartbeat!
Emily D DesignationA Splendid Tour We have been to Sri Lanka before, but Manju added an extra dimension to our experience. He was thoughtful, attentive and adjusted the program to reflect our thoughts and feedback. Nothing was too much trouble for him, including repairing my hat, and he was adept at finding novel ways to show us the culture and sites that were off the beaten track. A sensible and safe driver, he was also engaging company and has a winning smile that makes the day more fun. I recommend him very highly as a tour guide, driver and a complete “Mr fix it”.

Travel with peace of mind We took the 12 day tour with the Manju agency and we are delighted with the experience, everything was perfect, well thought out and stress free. From the start our driver, Sarrath, put us in confidence and was very friendly. He always made sure we had everything we needed and who drove safely. Sarrath was very happy to show us his country even during the rides where he did not hesitate to make small stops with explanations. We took the formula with the guesthouses and the accommodations offered were always very decent and the meals hearty (and very nice people). In addition, we could add or remove activities depending on what we liked the most and that's great! Thanks to Manju and Sarrath for this exceptional and unforgettable trip! We can only recommend you. Read less Date visited: February 2026 Trip type: Traveled as a couple
