“Yes. Jefferson was so friendly to work with and patient with my questions and changes. My itinerary is perfect and I can’t wait to go on the trip. This company was the most perfect value in my budget and also checking off my must-dos on my trip.”

“We had one week to see and do as much as we could and also have a bit of relaxation and keep within our budget. Our travel advisor Hashini and our driver/guide Rajitha delivered this and more. Our flight was delayed so our itinerary had to be altered a little but we still got to do all that was on the list. Rajitha also gave us different options that suited as alternatives. We especially enjoyed the National park jeep safari to see the elephants and the village experiences with cookery class. The local authentic food that Rajintha brought us to enjoy was fabulous. Ending our week with a relaxing stay at Buckingham Place in Tangelle was perfect. The staff there were just so helful and friendly and the accommodation was great. Actually all our accommodation on this teip was very good. Even after the country suffered from severe floods and lindslides following the storm in late November, the Sri Lankan welcome and courtesy was in abundance everywhere we went. We saw some of the devastation and take our hats off to the tourist industry who still managed to maintain their high standards. I would use Rough Guides and definitely recommend them for a tailored experience.”

“I thought I did feed back to An Tran. The fundamental issue was price. It was £10k about the next most expensive itinerary. Secondly it was not the itinerary I asked for. His response was that as we are "older" travelers he took it upon himself to provide a different itinerary that would be easier for us.”
