Private tours from2 to 16 days
Start with the number of days you really have, counting the day you land and the day you fly out. A short trip of two to five days works best when you stay close to Kandy and the Cultural Triangle. From six days you can add tea country. From nine days, a safari and a few nights by the sea feel unhurried instead of squeezed in.
Every one of these Sri Lanka tour packages is private. You get your own vehicle and one English-speaking driver-guide for the whole trip. The route is a starting point, not a fixed script. Say you would rather skip a temple and spend longer in the hills. Then we rebuild the days around that. Think of each page as a draft Sri Lanka itinerary that you and a planner finish together. That is what we mean by tailor-made Sri Lanka holidays.
Your own vehicle and the same English-speaking driver for the whole trip.
3-star and 2-star hotels, or 4-star hotels, on every route.
For two sharing, breakfast included. Entrance fees, lunches and drinks are extra.
Each route is listed twice, once with 3-star and 2-star hotels and once with 4-star hotels. Prices are shown per person for two travellers sharing a room, with breakfast included. Entrance fees, lunches and dinners, drinks and flights are extra, and every tour page spells that out before you ask.
If you are travelling alone, with children or in a larger group, the price changes a little. Open the tour you like and pick your date. Then the page shows the figure for your party. Looking for Sri Lanka family tour packages with short drives and a beach at the end? Filter by length and read the first lines of each route. Not sure which route fits? Message us on WhatsApp with your dates and the places you want to see. Then we will suggest two or three options. These include the private tours in Sri Lanka that suit your pace.
