This trip is excellent, immersing you in the culture (and food) of this island. The many home-cooked meals on this trip are the highlight. Do this trip if you like eating local food, whilst exploring this friendly lovely island.

We had a really great time on the Sri Lankan Classic tour. Saw lots, did lots and all made very easy by the Gay tour Sri Lanka team. The group all got on really well which helped with the experience. Our guide was fantastic and always in hand if we needed anything. Hotels were perfect and centrally located.
