What an incredible time I had with this company last year. It was my first time doing anything like this before and I was pretty skeptical to begin with. After chatting on the website I felt way more relaxed and couldn't wait for the trip to start. The whole experience when I was in Thailand was just out of this world. The hotels, activities, experiences and all the locals we met on the tour. What really stood out for me was how friendly the guides were. Matt and all the local guides were just super friendly and they really were more like your friend than a guide or leader. If I had to choose my favourite day it would have to be the day we did the boat trip on Phi Phi. We had the tunes going and the weather was just amazing, we saw reef sharks and a turtle which just blew my mind (I have never seen a turtle before lol). I loved it that much I am planning my next trip with the company as soon as all this COVID stuff is finished. Thanks for a great time and making my first travelling experience so special x

In October 2019 we spent ten days in Sri Lanka with Danu, one of supuns drivers. We had some very special days and also many insights into the Sri Lankan culture. It was very easy to plan the trip together with supun. We just wrote a mail to supun and got a proposal with many different possibilities to do during our trip through Sri Lanka. Also they were very flexible with the tour planning, both in advance and during the trip. With Danu we had the chance to visit many local places, not only the tourist ones. This was very nice! We always had best dinner/lunch places (local ones). As we were very flexible on the tour, we could stay longer or shorter on the different sights. Price-Performance Ratio is very fair, i would always recommend Supun and Danu to all my friends. Over all: We had a very nice trip in Sri Lanka. We met very nice people and it was a very familiar time together with Danu. Thank you for the nice time Maya&Hannes

BH Tours were fantastic, from the beginning when I enquired (about a completely bespoke tour) to the end. They ensured that the tour was run smoothly taking us to all the important sights and ensuring we were safe and happy throughout. Nothing was too much and our driver Nishantha was fantastic! He was a true gentleman, very attentive and happy everyday. We wanted to make our trip perfect and did. The hotels they selected were beautiful, far exceeding what I expected! The safari's we did were great. Backwater Lodge near wilpattu was the most wonderful hotel & the safari from there was INCREDIBLE!!! I wouldn't recommend going to Yala, its commercial and not worth it. Sri Lanka is the most wonderful country!

Our tour started with the pick up from our hotel at Galle fort. Roshan was so friendly and extremely informative. Had a wonderful day with new friends, enjoying the scenery and hiking the Rainforest. This should be in everyone's list when visiting Sri Lanka. Loved the added bonus of Tea factory visit. Guide Wigitha made the day amazing. Although no rain in the rainforest ,this day made the hike a bit less slippery, the flora, fauna and the waterfall -- all made a lovely day. One of our Dreams was to swim under the waterfall, and we got a chance to do it here. Transportation was comfortable and efficient, and the lunch was delicious. Would highly recommend this tour and also this tour company.

1) The booking was through Viator, but was subcontracted to a local tour company, which in turn subcontracted it another travel company with its driver! (and the driver hardly speaks any English, so don't expect any guidance from him) And worse, Viator doesn't have online support / email contact, so you'll have to call them long-distance if you need any support. There's no CS to complain to or ask for a compensation, let alone write a review on their website. 2) Although the itneary says 3 admission fees are included, our driver told us otherwise. We had to pay all admissions. And the admissions are expensive ranging from USD 30-50. With the busy schedule we usually had to pay for 3 admissions per day which equal to USD 90-150 per day. 3) In Anuradhapura we were handed to a "tour guided" for a one hour guided tour. He demanded the admission fee of USD 30 (but obviously he didn't purchase the ticket, just bribed the people to let us in) and then a guiding fee of USD 20 per person. A classic scam! 4) Some hotels were not up to standard. The sheets and pillow were dirty with pest, some with broken windows, no WIFI etc. Having said all these, Sri Lanka is a beautiful place and the people are really nice. Only that one has to slowly explore this place, not rushing through it in a week trying to see all the places at one go. You'll just end up spending most of your time in the car. And the driver will just bring you to all the greedy people who only want to extract all the money from you. Beware!

The park offers everything that is needed for an exciting safari. Great landscapes, many animals, especially elephants! We were very close to the elephants and were very lucky to be able to watch a whole herd and also some baby elephants. Furthermore, I would like to emphasize our tour guide - not only did he inspire and excite us with his very good mood, he also saw many small animals with his trained eye and answered our questions thoroughly. The 3 hours passed by in no time and gave us many nice memories. Would totally recommend booking a trip with these guys :-)
