We Can’t Rate This Company’s Highly Enough ❤️🇱🇰

We cant rate TravelHikka Tours and especially Chaminda and his family for welcoming us into such a beautiful and enriched country. We gave some ideas to Chaminda on what we would like to do and he came back to us with a wonderful itinerary which included airport transfers both ways. We managed so much including Yala Safari, tea plantation, Galle, Madu River trip, Ella including a 3.5 hour stunning train journey and much much more. The cost was so reasonable to so I’d just book flights and allow Chaminda to sort an itinerary. We required downtime to ourselves to relax in between and Chaminda will take this onboard to. Chaminda is honest, reliable, smartly presented, kind and a fountain of knowledge, and always eager to answer any questions. We are now looking to return and will only use Chaminda for our next trip.
