We booked VTS Lanka for a custom tour of southern and central Sri Lanka and they were excellent. We wanted a driver to take us to all the different locations that we planned to visit while travelling round the country - Yala National Park, Ella and the hill region, Galle, whale watching in Mirissa etc. We arranged things with Vinodh by Whatsapp and the price quoted was amazing value - it included the cost of the activities we wanted to do, like safaris & whale watching, as well as a car and driver, who took us from place to place, showed us all sorts of attractions en route, and stayed the night nearby for the entire time, wherever we went. Our driver, Mr Rohan, seemed to know everything and everyone in Sri Lanka! If we wanted to stop for a bite to eat, he'd take us to a restaurant with a stunning view or overlooking a waterfall, for example. He took care of everything we needed during the trip, ie getting us seats on the fully reserved train from Ella through the mountains, and dealing with locals when we didn't understand. He was so friendly, reliable and smart, and was happy to take long detours to see interesting things. As a couple who are used to exploring places on our own and on foot, having a driver doing everything for us did take a bit of getting used to. Sometimes we just wanted to get to our hotel and explore on our own rather than be shown everything by car. But having a driver allowed us to see many amazing things that we would never known about or be able to get to via public transport. In the final few days of our trip, Mr Rohan took us to two of the most incredible viewpoints I have ever seen in my life, neither of which were in our Lonely Planet guide book. We would highly recommend VTS Lanka - they seem like a lovely team of people with connections all over Sri Lanka.

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 :-)

After reading a bunch of recent reviews, my friends and I were very enthusiastic about this trip. Whilst the transfer from our hotel was ok, we were disappointed with the jeep. It was pretty beat up compared to lots of others around. On top of that we weren’t offered a guide as mentioned in other reviews. Our driver wasn’t particularly chatty or informative. Throughout the trip we were reminded that we ‘were lucky’ to see elephants as it was dry season. Our driver did go deeper into the park than other companies though my friends and I are can’t agree whether this was to take up time or because he was genuinely trying to find us other animals. A nice little snack and tea were provided though and we DID end up seeing the elephants so 3 stars for that.
