“An amazing, well organized trip to a beautiful place.”
We had a great 14 day tour and saw the big attractions and lots of smaller, great places. Sri Lanka is a beautiful and amazing place. Everyone is so welcoming and Gayathra, our guide really did make the trip so easy and enjoyable.
“Wonderful family vacation”
Recently returned from a 08 days tour organized by Gaman.lk Tours . Masha was a great support from start to finish, co-creating our itinerary, taking our feedback into consideration and pulling out all the stops to make it an incredible trip. She is very responsive, and was able to support we had with all of the little queries we had before and during the trip. Our tour guide was also fantastic. They also organized daily program very well which was highly appreciated. Highly recommend if you're looking for a locally grounded team that will do their best to tailor the holiday to your needs.
