During our 4th stay in Sri Lanka in feb/march 2020, we had the pleasure of of taking part in the Services offered by Dimitours. At first we couldn´t really believe the positiv comments available online but now we´re completly convinced. We had a lot of fun. The tours are comfy, well planned and put in Action. No hassle, no stress. We had a driver as well as a guide, explaining everything in german. Both of them we´re friendly, likeable and easygoing guys. Being able to take part in the decisions, for example: where to rest, eat something or take a detour, is a big plus for us. We like it so much, that we booked a few tours at once. The land, the people, nature, history, sights, the real life - this land has it all. During These tours we stayed in really great hotels aswell. Our tip: with Dimitours you´re guaranteed to have a safe and good time. The full package for a rather cheap price. with regards, Maybritt and Mirko from Berlin

Our holiday rep booked a safari day for us before we left England. It was an absolutely fantastic day out we hadn’t realised it was a private tour just for us so that was a bonus. Sam the manager rang us the evening before we went to confirm times and drivers name. We had Dinesh who was amazing he picked us up at 5 am and we got back after 6 pm. He pointed out lots of interesting facts on our journey too. We decided we would go to Galle the following week so messaged Sam to see if we could book same driver and not do everything that was on the list and it was no problem. We did Galle fort then silk factory and tsunami museum which was all very interesting. We stopped to have some lunch on the way back to hotel. Would highly recommend this company. If we come back to Sri Lanka again will certainly be using them. Thank you very much Sam and Dinesh Sarah and Chris.

Galle, 119km from Colombo, is a major city situated at the tip of the South Western coast of Sri Lanka. Being a coastal area, it is quite hot and humid but has an abundance of beautiful beaches in every town that you pass while travelling from Colombo to Galle. The Galle Fort was built by the Portuguese, fortified later by the Dutch and is well preserved till today. In addition to the Portuguese and Dutch remains, you will also find many British mansions left behind. As for beaches, the Unawatuna Bay probably tops it all and is safe for snorkelling and swimming because a reef protects it. There you have it, a day tour of the city of Galle in a nutshell.

Inclusions: Air Conditioned Private Vehicle, English Speaking Chauffeur, All Costs related to Vehicle, Boat and Chauffeur, Entrance Tickets for All mentioned Excursions, Bottled Drinking Water, All Government Taxes | No Hidden Cost

This is more of a response to the Covid-19 event and the lack of being able to contact this company and to receive a refund for a prepaid custom tour. We booked and paid for our tour in February 2020. When our cruise was cancelled because of Covid-19 we requested a refund in May 2020. We received no response to this request. The next time we received an email from them was to rate the tour that we would have taken in October 2020. In trying to contact them now we receive a bounce back to the emails that we send them. Covid-19 did not shut down the internet so contact should have been made to let us know the situation of their business.

Ashiq Aswar is a superb tour guide! Him and Rizni took my family around on a tour of Colombo that included shopping and then a tour of the outskirts of a bee farm, spice gardens a private tour visiting and riding elephants. We had a great lunch in a clean and air-conditioned restaurant. The van was clean and comfortable. They picked us up and dropped us back. This trip was actually in the early part of last year in spring, but the calendar on Trip Advisor only goes back to summer of last year. They were very attentive, very caring and personable. I would highly recommend Ashiq and Kingfisher tours to anyone visiting Colombo, Sri Lanka ????????
