Colombo is the gateway to Sri Lanka for most travelers—but don’t be tempted to simply pass through this diverse and interesting city. Take a train ride along the coast to Mount Lavinia, a popular beach, or explore the Talangama Wetland, which several TripAdvisor travelers say is the perfect place to take a break from the bustling streets of the city.

Our market tour and cooking school was an amazing experience and one we won’t forget soon! The tour showed us the best of Sri Lankan produce and it was great to try some new ingredients. The school is very hands-on and takes place in a well-equipped kitchen and dining room. We learned to make a variety of Sri Lankan curries using traditional utensils. Overall, a wonderful experience and one we would fully recommend to anyone visiting Sri Lanka

We were met at our hotel by our guide for the day and he was waiting for us as we arrived at the front of the hotel. The car and driver were good - the traffic was busy as it was rush hour and there is a lot of roadworks to build a new bridge between North and South Goa. Some places of interest were pointed out an route and the stops we made were interesting. We enjoyed the day, including lunch at the Spice Farm where we had a buffet including fish, chicken and vegetable curries. Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable and answered any questions we had. An enjoyable experience.

We were (5 people) on 14 holidays organized by Ceylon Trails. For 7 days we visited the beautiful Sri Lanka with a brilliant guide Thomas (with great knowledge and passion) and an experienced and great driver Kennedy. We visited all the main attractions, ate delicious food and slept in good hotels (accommodations with meal plans on a Half Board basis). We are in love with Sri Lanka and the atmosphere of this magical island. We spent the last 7 days at the beach resort. Total relaxation and rest. The trip was well organized. Everything was comfortable. They took really good care of us. We could also keep up to date on what else we wanted to see and there was no problem with it. Everyone was very helpful. The Ceylon Trials is worth recommending. It's worth visiting Sri Lanka with them. It is professional and safe. We will definitely visit Sri Lanka again. Thank you Ceylon Team!
