My wife and I had a wonderful trip with Neel and his cousin Rasanga! They are knowledgeable, flexible and safe behind the wheel. The best part was their flexibility, we requested for a couple of detours and they accommodated our requests without complaints. We would wholeheartedly recommend Sri Shannon tours for your next Sri Lanka trip!

Rock temples, hot springs, wild national park reserves and beaches are among some of the things the North of Sri Lanka has to offer. A 8-day adventure tour will provide ample opportunity to explore this wild, colorful, and unique region that has profound Indian influences, following the 30-year civil war between LTTE Terrorists and the Sri Lankan Army that ended in 2009. The North of Sri Lanka is a new area after the war, and accommodation is quite basic. Reconstruction of the war-torn region now harbors monumental war remains and exquisitely colorful, sometimes untouched, picturesque landscapes that supply some of the freshest produce of chillies, onions, bananas and mangoes. However, it is important to understand that it is a developing region so don’t expect five-star service. Do expect memories that will last a lifetime.

Inclusions: Air-conditioned vehicle, WiFi on board, Private transportation, Bottle of Water

However what impressed me.most was , --about a week before the tour I thought I need to cancel , I had already paid 100%. Thilanka spoke to the hotel and got me a 100 percent refund !!! . We were so.impressed. However, we then proceeded with the tour as planned and had a magnificent time !

In October 2019 we spent ten days in Sri Lanka with Danu, one of supuns drivers. We had some very special days and also many insights into the Sri Lankan culture. It was very easy to plan the trip together with supun. We just wrote a mail to supun and got a proposal with many different possibilities to do during our trip through Sri Lanka. Also they were very flexible with the tour planning, both in advance and during the trip. With Danu we had the chance to visit many local places, not only the tourist ones. This was very nice! We always had best dinner/lunch places (local ones). As we were very flexible on the tour, we could stay longer or shorter on the different sights. Price-Performance Ratio is very fair, i would always recommend Supun and Danu to all my friends. Over all: We had a very nice trip in Sri Lanka. We met very nice people and it was a very familiar time together with Danu. Thank you for the nice time Maya&Hannes

Our tour started with the pick up from our hotel at Galle fort. Roshan was so friendly and extremely informative. Had a wonderful day with new friends, enjoying the scenery and hiking the Rainforest. This should be in everyone's list when visiting Sri Lanka. Loved the added bonus of Tea factory visit. Guide Wigitha made the day amazing. Although no rain in the rainforest ,this day made the hike a bit less slippery, the flora, fauna and the waterfall -- all made a lovely day. One of our Dreams was to swim under the waterfall, and we got a chance to do it here. Transportation was comfortable and efficient, and the lunch was delicious. Would highly recommend this tour and also this tour company.

My partner and I had a wonderful holiday in Sri Lanka, and were able to see much more of the country than we had expected, as everything was made so easy and convenient for us by the drivers at Visit So Sri Lanka. We met Duminda by chance in Colombo, on the second day of our holiday - at which stage we were unsure on the best way to get around the country. We had a surfboard and had read conflicting reviews about the trains - how busy they were and difficult to book etc. We didn't want to risk losing days of our holiday by missing trains or not being able to fit our big backpacks and board on. Having a driver was perfect, so easy. We learned valuable information about the culture and places from our driver, and visited places that we hadn't stumbled across whilst researching prior to our trip. We took the drivers between most places, and if we stopped somewhere for a few days, we would part ways until we needed to travel to the next place. So we had a good balance of time on our own and having a guided tour. Duminda was so accommodating - if we needed to leave a place early in the morning to get to our next destination, it was no problem. If we decided we wanted to change our route at the last minute, he was happy to rearrange for us. If we wanted to stop for lunch to break up the journey, he could always recommend a good curry buffet! Visit So Sri Lanka Tours are very passionate about tourists enjoying their country and experiencing the best places, sights and activities, because they love their country and want others to love it too! As per our initial plans, we weren't going to have time to see Sigiriya or do a safari, but Duminda was able to suggest an alternative itinerary so that we were able to do this. We are very grateful to this company for helping to make our holiday one that was full of adventure and will not be forgotten!

The park offers everything that is needed for an exciting safari. Great landscapes, many animals, especially elephants! We were very close to the elephants and were very lucky to be able to watch a whole herd and also some baby elephants. Furthermore, I would like to emphasize our tour guide - not only did he inspire and excite us with his very good mood, he also saw many small animals with his trained eye and answered our questions thoroughly.
