FAQs
We, as much as you, would like to be straight with pricing. However, in tourism the number of guests has a huge impact on pricing. Hence we cannot tell you for sure what figure it will be until you let us know the group size and any adjustments to the itinerary.
The prices we display is for a relatively larger group than a family of 3. Usually we calculate for a mini bus.
Once we know your group size and after changes to items if any, we will give you an exact figure, the absolute total.
This itinerary is for 14 nights and 15 days. We can adjust it to fit your arrival time, and cover the whole programme. E.g. If you arrive in Sri Lanka in the morning we will arrange you to rest in Negombo a few hours, and then travel to Habarana the same day.
Yes you can. Let us know your ideas, and we will re-draw the itinerary to suit your wishes. Then you can proceed with confirmation.
There’s a difference. Our itineraries include many of the highly sought after attractions, and we have added ALL entrance tickets to the cost.
And we employ a National Tourist Guide or a chauffeur tourist guide for all tours. That means you don’t have to pay for a site guide at any of the attractions. Our guides are fully licensed and qualified to guide at any tourist site in Sri Lanka.
We do not confirm the tour first and then say that the entrance tickets and guide fees are to be paid extra.
