Before you choose

Useful answers about our private tours.

Every published itinerary can become something more personal. These are the questions travelers usually ask first.

View all questions
01Are your Sri Lanka tours private?+

Yes. Every journey is private, with a dedicated vehicle and driver guide. You travel only with the people in your booking and the daily pace can be adjusted around you.

02Can we change one of the published itineraries?+

Absolutely. These journeys are starting points rather than fixed packages. We can change the route, hotel style, activities, duration and amount of free time before confirming your itinerary.

03What is normally included in the tour price?+

Your proposal will clearly list every inclusion. Most private journeys include accommodation, daily breakfast, a private air conditioned vehicle, an English speaking driver guide and the activities specified in the itinerary.

04How early should we book?+

Three to six months is comfortable for most dates. Book earlier for Christmas, Easter, August, specialist villas and popular train journeys. We can often help with shorter notice when your dates are flexible.

05Can you plan tours for families, couples or older travelers?+

Yes. We adapt driving times, walks, room arrangements and activities to the people traveling. Tell us about mobility, food needs, children's ages and the level of activity you enjoy.
