Stimulating and very personally looked after - Our guide Sanka De Silva gave us both, my boyfriend and I, a wonderful week. The view from the Lion Rock in Sigiriya was wonderful and we were particularly impressed... read more by the excavations in Polonnaruwa. Sanka was always there for us and explained things, answered our questions and gave us additional insights into the country, for example we ate the best samosas at a small street vending. Wonderful!

Then a visit to Anuradhapura to see the Ancient Kingdom and to top it off spent the night at Lake Forest Hotel where we looked back over the Ancient Kingdom, a stunning view at night. We saw many beautiful sites. We stayed in some brilliant hotels 98 acres, Leopard trails to name a few and nothing disappointed.
Sri Lanka is truly beautiful and using a qualified guide is a must

Top Two Week Private Tour in Sri Lanka  - Just got back from a great trip in Sri Lanka. We went for 14 days and saw all the main sights, but the highlight for us was probably climbing Sigiriya... read more at sunrise.

Our guide and driver Ajith picked us up at the airport and was with us the entire time, always explaining the local history and customs as we travelling, giving useful recommendations, making sure we didn't go hungry and of course getting us from A to B.

Would highly recommend both the company and travelling to Sri Lanka in general. For our particular tour we found it to be a great combination of culture, adventure, nature and relaxation and would happily go back.

Also, I do recommend this kind of private tour, it's much more flexible and comfortable than a group tour, while still being reasonably affordable.

The hotels selected by the tour operator met our expectations. The services were very good and we would book a tour through Detroves again.

Five star tour!  - This tour was fabulous, thanks to our knowledgeable and experienced driver and tour guide, Ajith.
Ajith knew all the right people along the way, and provided in-depth history at... read more all of the locations and sites on this tour.
The only thing I’d change is the duration, I think we needed another day or two to really soak it in. 7 days was a bit rushed.
There is no doubt that when we go back to see the rest of the country, we will be requesting Ajith as our tour guide, and would recommend him to any fellow travellers looking to head to this beautiful country.
