Lifetime Experience In Sri Lanka

We booked a 8day group tour ‘Lifetime Experiences Sri Lanka’ and added 2 days in Negombo pre-tour and 2 days in Colombo post-tour. We ended up with our personal driver/guide Sujee (Sujeewa), which was a nice surprise. His obvious love for his country, great historical and general knowledge and enthusiasm made this trip a very enjoyable experience. Nothing was too much or too difficult, endless questions were answered and many laughs were shared. The culture, history, natural beauty and wildlife of this island country are something to behold and the food is amazing. All hotels were of very good standard and we were constantly amazed by the apparent ease with which Sujee navigated his way through the often chaotic traffic conditions. The 4WD safari in Yala NP was fantastic, we spotted so much wildlife, many elephants and even a leopard in a tree. A very memorable experience. Entry to some of the experiences are additional charges and whilst advertised in US$ have to be paid in the local currency. There are plenty of ATM's and money changers in the bigger cities (often jewelry stores), banks are only open 9am - 3pm. Local beer is very good and reasonably priced, wine choices are limited and quite expensive in hotels. We loved everything about this trip and would not hesitate using BH Lanka again. Booking was very easy, communication prompt and clear, airport transfers on time and a truly excellent driver/guide Sujee who exceed every expectation.

Out of the hundreds of fantastic reviews that this company has received, ours is just one more to add to the impressive ratings! Right from the start the communication with this tour company was clear, concise and prompt. It gave you a good feeling that they were going to deliver on their promise and they did!! Our 8 day itinerary was jam packed and included visits to all the must see sites in the south western part of Sri Lanka. Ravi, our chauffeur and guide extraordinaire, accompanied us to every single destination. He had incredible knowledge and insights to the inner workings of each locality and effortlessly navigated us to places and experiences on time and with minimal hassle. In short, he seemed to know everything and everybody and had local knowledge of parking spots, ticketing, the best restaurants in each town, and great photo spots. His pick ups and drop offs were always prompt and we felt very well taken care of. Ravi went out of his way to make sure that we were safe, comfortable and satisfied with each and every experience. We would highly recommend this company to immerse yourself and appreciate this wonderful and friendly country.

What an incredible tour. Ravi was my tour guide and he was just absolutely spectacular the whole 8 days. He was so kind and patient, able to adjust the schedule when torrential rain and flooding made some of the activities no longer doable. He was just 10/10. The activities were spot on. All I can say is, even though it poured rain every single day, this tour and my tour guide made me fall in love with Sri Lanka. If anything, 8 days is not enough time!

My wife and I completed the Lifetime Experience Tour (7Days) with our host Camilas. We visited Negombo, Dambulla, Minneriya Elephant Safari, Nuwara Eliya ( top location), Ella, Weligama Bay, Galle and finally Colombo. All hotels selected were first class and had great food and service. We particularly were very satisfied with the Tropical Life Resort, the Hotel Tamarind Tree and 22 Welgambay Resort. Of course our first night was at the Regal Reseau Hotel and as we were taken aback by all of Sri Lanka on day one , this hotel was a fantastic starting place for our trip and where we met our host/driver Camilas! Camilas looked after us 100%. Anything we needed he could arrange. He was amazing. Camilas suggested the elephant safari and we both thought that was a highlight of the tour. He also spoke frankly about tipping and services that were worthwhile. Camilas’ car was comfortable and he drove sensibly and safely. We have to thank him a lot for our trip being so special. We have to thank BH Lanka Tours for the special gift they gave us. Camilas was a very happy, jovial man. He explained Sorry.com to us which was very funny.He loves looking after you almost as much as he likes getting good reviews, which he deserves! Thanks for a wonderful holiday. We love Sri Lanka Mr Tim and Madam Rebecca

We have just completed the Lifetime Experience Tour. We had seven full days exploring some of the highlights of Sri Lanka. We enjoyed every minute of this well constructed itinerary and were particularly impressed by a number of sites we visited, such as the Yala Natinal Park. All the accommodation met expectations and due to it being low season, there were few other guests at most of the hotels. Also to be noted, is that the monsoon season did not impact our enjoyment of the trip and we experienced some days without rain. Our guide Udara was exemplary with his punctuality and clear commitment to making it a pleasant and trouble free tour for us. One example was the safari jeep driver for Yala whom Udara had arranged directly. The jeep driver took us through the second entrance to the park which has less jeeps queued. He was an astounding driver and spotter of wildlife, enabling us to see four leopards! We have no hesitation in recommending Udara as a guide and driver.

My daughter and I went on the 8 days tour «Lifetime experience» Tour. We got a taste of the fantastic country of Sri Lanka in a short time. The tour is packed and busy, but still we found time to unwind and relax. The trip was a group tour, but we were the only party participating. Our guide and driver, Camilas, was amazing, a true 5*. He is so experienced and knowledgeable, and was so kind and accommodating in every way, making it so easy to be on tour. The tour was well organized, and thanks to Camilas, the execution of the itinerary went so smooth and seamless, with no hickups or issues. He was also a good chaffeur, although traffic in Sri Lanka can appear chaotic at times, I always felt safe. Hotels used on tour was all of good standard. Most had nice pools. We had halfboard at all hotels. Dinner was buffet or set menu, we had a lot of delicious meals. The lunch prepared at the farmhouse in Dambulla was amazing. Not to be missed. To sum up, 8 days is not enough, but we made the most out of it. I would love to visit this beautiful Island and its amazing people again.

Amazing 8-Day Sri Lanka Tour: we recently had the privilege of experiencing an incredible 8-day tour of Sri Lanka, and it truly exceeded all expectations. The itinerary was well designed, packing a lot into a short space of time, providing an adventure filled with history, culture, and stunning scenery. A huge shoutout to our fabulous driver, Arjuna! His wealth of knowledge about the history and the various sites we visited made the trip so much richer. He was an excellent guide and made sure we were comfortable every step of the way. The accommodations were another highlight—each hotel was fantastic! Special mentions go to Tropical Life, 22 Weligambay, and The Palms, which were all exceptional in their own unique ways. They provided the perfect balance of comfort and luxury, enhancing the overall experience. One word of caution: if you're planning to do a jeep safari, think carefully about the weather conditions, especially if it's raining. This could impact the experience. All in all, this tour is perfect for anyone looking to explore Sri Lanka's beauty and culture in a short but meaningful trip. Highly recommend!

My vacation in Sri Lanka was just wonderful. It's a beautiful country with beautiful people. Each day was well organized, so in the 8 days I really saw a lot of different beautiful places. Especially I would like to highlight my great guide - Aruna Dasanayake. He was taking care of everything, gave valuable tipps. If there was any issue, he could solve it immediately. He is a kind, helpful and very reliable person with a great sense of humor. With him you won't have to worry about anything. The only thing I would criticize is the cleanliness of the hotels. I would say the half of the hotels had this problem. So don't await a lot in this regard. On the whole I had a great vacation and would recommend to everyone to visit this wonderful country and see it's indescribable beauty with your own eyes.

I booked an 8-day tour, travelling with my 9-year-old daughter. Our guide Camilas was always reliable, took us to the agreed places, suggested interesting activities without ever insisting, assisted us with money exchange, tickets and even helped us with our shopping. He was always punctual, polite and reliable. I have appreciated the kindness received by everyone, especially towards my child. To conclude the tour, our guide invited us to a great lunch at his home and introduced us to his beautiful family. A country and a tour that we will always carry in our hearts. Thank you Camilas!
