コロンボからのサザンコーストのハイライト

We had arranged in advance of our cruise to take this tour and, in fact, had worked with Felician Fernando (felician@lakpura.lk) to personalize it by creating a more comprehensive itinerary. He was absolutely wonderful to work with, answering all of my emails promptly and corresponding with me via many emails to make everything perfect and include all of the sites we wanted to see. We were so excited to meet him and take the tour we had planned. Unfortunately, our cruise ship canceled the port of Colombo the day before we were supposed to arrive. We contacted Felician with the sad news, and he immediately refunded all of our money, despite the short notice. I cannot compliment him enough for the professional way in which he handled the situation. I hope that anyone who is planning a trip to Sri Lanka will contact Felician at Lakpura LLC to schedule a tour. You could not be in better hands. We certainly look forward to touring with him when we are able to get to Sri Lanka.

We did the tour yesterday. Mr Christos was a very safe driver and had an easy going manner. The tea plantation was absolutely stunning. The tour was friendly and there was no pressure to tip. Our lunch in Galle was delicious and we loved the view of the water. Highly recommend doing this tour if you are staying in Colombo. It gives you a great overview of the coast!

We had a very interesting and informative walking tour of the fortified town of Galle with Ceylon Soul. Our guide, Atheeq, was very knowledgeable and had a good sense of humour. It was a very informative tour. I highly recommend it.

This tour was amazing! I was picked up in Colombo so it was a great drive down south along the coast. We visited a turtle rescue farm, fishing village and the most spectacular boat ride through the islands. Not to mention the cinnamon farm and the spectacular site from the lighthouse on the fort. Highly recommend this tour. My guide Keerthe was friendly and accommodating!

Our chauffeur guide-Mr. Christo Alvis - was amazing. It was like he was a member of the family. He explained the various sights along the way to Galle Fort and gladly stopped along the way as needed. He stopped at a ayurvedic spa before going to Galle and what an unexpected treat that was. All I wanted was some spices, but I got so much more. Once we arrived at Galle Fort we had lunch at a nice restaurant that served everything from stingray to prawns - both were quite good I might add. After lunch and a drive through the fort we were off to a tea plantation. Since it had already been a long day, I asked if we could do a shortened version of a tea tour--just taste some and buy some. Christo explained this to the gentleman that met us at the tea plantation and we received an explanation/visualization of how virgin tea is picked, sampled at least 20 teas and purchased what we needed. After this long day, we were back on our way to our hotel; which was close to 2 hours in rush hour traffic. I'd recommend getting a private tour because you have the driver for the day and you see so much more this way.

<p>Great guide and great tour. Our favorite tour in Sri Lanka!</p>
