EXCELLENT Based on 53 reviews Ava R2025-03-27Verified Amazing service and a memorable trip Walk Lanka Holidays made our amazing trip to Sri Lanka unforgettable. Even before I left England, Sanjeewa was highly responsive on WhatsApp as he helped me plan out our itinerary. Unfortunately we only had 6 days in this beautiful country, but he helped us plan out a journey to make the most of every hour we had! When I sent him my original drafted plan that I put together after speaking to friends and searching online, he helped refine my plan and every suggestion he had was spot-on. Aside from the driving service, he also helped us organize two safari tours and a separate cab journey which made our lives much easier! For the entire journey he consistently was in communication with our driver and checked in on us directly daily to ensure we were having a good time and were on track. We arrived at the airport in Colombo and were picked up by our driver Anushka, who is an all-around lovely man who showed genuine interest in making our trip as memorable as possible. He loved showing people the joys of his incredible country, and as we drove he knew all of the best places to stop, i.e. an herbal garden and a waterfall in tea fields in mountains that we hadn’t heard about prior. He took pictures of us at each destination, and even did a hike with us in Sigiriya! He was always on time, had great suggestions, and had a very happy demeanor and positive attitude. He even did a very long drive one day for us on the mountain roads, which were very grateful for. We were genuinely sad to have to say goodbye to him at the end of our journey as we really enjoyed his presence and felt that he made our amazing trip possible! We wouldn’t have known how we would’ve made this trip possible without Sanjeewa and Anushka; thank you so much for delivering an incredible level of service a trip of a lifetime! Jack M2025-03-27Verified Quick island tour with Anushka Sanjeewa was very response when I first reached out about a booking, he helped us to get the most out of the itinerary that my partner and I had already put together however in hindsight some of it was a bit over ambitious. We had an excellent tour guide named Anushka, he was amazing to us and I feel like we got the most out of the trip due to him being willing to take us everywhere we wanted along with some changes he helped us decide along the way due to his own knowledge and how to get the most out of our time, when we said goodbye to him after 5 days we were sad that we wouldn’t see him again, that’s how much he became part of our trip. He is an excellent photographer and one of the most sweet natured people I’ve ever encountered, thank you again Anoushka for making this a special trip! Chandrakant K2024-08-27Verified Trip to Sri Lanka with Walk Sri Lanka Holidays. My self and my wife Vasudhs we were thinking of visiting Sri Lanka for past many years. This June I saw advertisement on Facebook by Walk Lanka holidays. I sent response about my intrest and Sanjeewa was lightning quick to respond within few minutes. Sanjeewa is very knowledgeable about his country and he was very helpful in planning my itinerary with all my and my wife Vasudha's special needs. Though we had five and half hours time difference he was always there to answer my questions. After continuing talks for nearly month he created itinerary for our ten nights eleven days dream holiday . Before I arrived in Sri Lanka, clear estimate was given for all the charges I needed to pay for things not included in the package so there were no surprises or hidden costs.On arriving in Sri Lanka they picked us from airport. Sanjeewa and his team along with wonderful Driver / guide Mahesh they did do everything humanly possible to make our trip memorable. Car chosen, Toyota Camry was clean and comfortable with plenty of boot space.I was mainly intrested in bird watching and wild animals safaries. Location chosen for those were excellent and local naturalist Amal was too knowledgeable and helpful.All the hotels chosen were best in the region. Food was delicious at all the venues.I would love to take this opportunity to thank Sanjeewa and Mahesh for everything they did to make our dream come true.Through out the trip Sanjeewa was continuously in touch with me was calling me three times a day to make sure everything is fine with me and Vasudha.Thanks Sanjeewa for wonderful gift , this book did help me identify Sri lankan birds, it has Excelled my intrest in Sri lanjsn birds and I will love to revisit historic Sri Lanka in near future.

Abdul M2024-06-02Verified An unforgettable journey I recently had the pleasure of working with Walk lanka holidays for my trip to Sri Lanka, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the service I received. From the very beginning, Walk Lanka Holidays was attentive, knowledgeable, and incredibly helpful in planning the perfect itinerary for my vacation. Idoia2024-05-10Verified Trip to Sri Lanka, a fantastic experience!! A few days ago we had the opportunity to visit this beautiful country, known as the pearl of the Indian Ocean.We were preparing the trip with enthusiasm. We were lucky to have the help of Sajith from the beginning, who with total flexibility, adapted the itinerary to the activities and visits we wanted to do.From the moment we arrived, they offered us personalized attention (Sajith guide and Nuam driver), which made us feel very comfortable. They had everything super organized, which allowed us to tour the island without worrying about anything, just enjoying ourselves.Sajith helped us learn about his history, his culture, his religions, his people, his traditions...There is no doubting his passion, knowledge and skills as a tour guide, which made our experience sensational.We traveled within the island in a van (always impeccable and with air conditioning) that became an oasis to combat the high temperatures to which we were not accustomed. It was driven by Nuam, an expert driver, in whom we fully trusted.Stutti Sajith, Stutti Nuam. We hope to meet again on future trips.Stutti, means 'thank you'. If you decide to go, remember this word, since the kindness of its people will make you use it often.Sri Lanka has been a destination that has captivated us and that we will undoubtedly recommend.Walk Lanka, with a service of 10, has made it easier for us. We wish you a great future. Ana L2024-04-29Verified An immersion in Sri Lankan life A different way of traveling, avoiding the big tourist hotels and enjoying charming hotels.With this agency we were able to adapt the itinerary to our interests, which allowed us to fully enjoy the trip and get closer to the local way of life and brought us closer to the different cultures that coexist in Sri Lanka.Traveling with a guide in Spanish was an excellent experience since we were able to visit more places and with great comfort.Nuan is an excellent driver in a country that is a traffic chaos! Very attentive to us and made us feel very safe! Thanks Nuan!Sajith is a great guide, he speaks Spanish very well and knows his country very well. With him we understood and learned a lot about Tamils and Sinhalese!Thank you and I wish you much success in this company that makes the trip truly an immersion in its culture and makes us enjoy it to the fullest! Linda H2024-04-14Verified Sri Lanka - an island paradise What an amazing experience! Sri Lanka is an island paradise and Walk Lanka packed so much into the week! Loved how Sanjeewa was flexible to our comments, making sure we enjoyed the experience. Shanaka was an incredible driver getting us to numerous places safely and showing us the sights. Recommendation to others is to stay in the boutique hotels throughout as they add enormously to the experience. G E2024-04-13Verified Walk Lanka Holidays Wow! What a paradise island… a hidden gem to the European traveller. Walk Lanka Holidays proved to be well organised and very approachable; our personal guide - Mahesh - was totally reliable, friendly and informative, and clearly knows his way around the island. From the majestic high mountains around Ella (and amazing lightning display) to the rice fields and salt marshes of the low lands to the most incredibly evocative beaches (with stilt fishermen) - interspaced with the normal daily life of the local people, Sri Lanka really is going to be the “go to” destination… I couldn’t recommend Sri Lanka and Walk Lanka Holidays enough.
