Amazing Tour in Sri Lanka

Oct 2023 • Couples Took a 7 day journey through Sri Lanka coordinated by Soba Lanka Holidays (pvt) Ltd with our tour guide Hasan. We traveled around Sigiriya, Kandy, Ella, Galle and Columbo. Everywhere we went, Soba Lanka arranged for us to stay in luxurious hotels with amazing views and an all encompassing itinerary from hiking, visiting temples, visiting scenic lookouts of waterfalls & mountains, and even a cooking class. Our guide Hasan was at the center of a great trip. From the moment he picked us up at the airport at 5:30am, he made us feel welcome and safe! He was very knowledgeable and always looking for ways to make our experience more enjoyable. In just 7 days it felt like we knew him forever and were touring with an old friend in their home country. We knew he had our interest at heart and was proud to show us Sri Lanka. Couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Thanks Hasan!
