Highly recommended experience to visit the less touristy Ella. The guide Sajith is wonderful, very kind and explains everything necessary. Safe and highly recommended experience. The food is completely local and very delicious. The climbs are worth it when seeing the incredible views.
Incredible bike ride with a fun guide and a delicious lunch. If you like a sporty activity, you have to book this bike ride!
Hartelijk dank. Het was fijn om jullie te mogen ontvangen.
Had a fantastic time with Sanjith. I learned so much and the views were incredible. I felt safe as I was alone and very comfortable. We stopped at an amazing waterfall with the little fish that gather at your feet and then had an incredible lunch at the bottom. Would highly recommend
Big thank for all your reccommendations. We are really happy to hear your experience with one of our best guide Sajith
Excellent 22 km cycle ride with some fantastic viewpoints, Sajith was very professional and knowledgable, and took care of us, We even had another colleague from the shop following on a motorbike in case we had a mechanical issue. The waterfall at the far point was delightful for a swim in, the cold water was perfect. Some hills, as you would expect round Ella, but the bikes had suitable gearing to deal with them. lunch was local and very tasty, and fruit from a local village on the way back was most welcome- I would recommend this trip
Thank you very much for sharing all your experience. I am really happy to see how my team delivered a good experience for you. Big thanks and hope to see you again🙏
We had an excellent bike ride and were shown lots of wonderful views and told a lot by our excellent guide Sajith. The lunch and swim in the secluded waterfall was great. Sajith made it particularly special. It was also great to have the backup motorcycle support with us as well. An excellent trip!
Thank you so much. Sajith told us about the experience today. Its always great to know you enjoyed our tour. That's the goal of us. Thank you very much 🙏
Lovely tour with Sajith. A very friendly guy that was very flexibele and we cycle some more as I have seen the things (waterfalls) on tours before. A lot of information about the people/country/tea.. Recommended
Very good experience. To know everything about tea, its history, its harvesting, its production, and its tasting
Thank you very much for joining with our tea tour. I hope you enjoyed and had a great understanding on how the ceylon tea is made. all the best
Fun and caring people Super experience
Thank you very much. It was great to host you
We had a wonderful trip with the brilliant Sajid as our knowledgeable guide. Beautiful scenery with tea plantations and Sri Lankan life in full effect. Topped off with a dip in a secluded waterfall and a delicious home cooked meal. Thank you for a great trip - would highly recommend!
Its great to hear that you enjoyed our countryside bicycle tour with Sajith. Thank you for selecting us as your trusted tour supplier in ella. Really appreciate
Had a great morning with Sajith! As a keen cyclist I was missing my bike so booked this tour, one of the best mornings of the trip. We cycled to a beautiful waterfall and got to see more of rural life. Hills were easy with the bikes having a wide gear range. We had a delicious lunch prepared by a local lady, tea infront of the waterfall and stopped for fresh fruit in the village. Sajith was really lovely (felt like cycling with an old friend) and I learned about Sri Lankan history, tea plantations and local life. So many beautiful views along the way. I cannot recommend this experience enough! Don’t be put off the hills, you can take as many breaks as you need and it’s all at your own pace. Thank you for a great morning😊
Thank you sooooo much. big thanks for your lovely review. we always try our best to create amazing memeries for travelers who travel with us. its happy to see, Sajith, one of our best tour leaders has made a great tour for you. Thank you very much again for everything.
