Went on a morning safari, and had a great time! It was rumored that a leopard was laying on a rock, but then it dissoparied. The other cars went on to chase it, but our driver stayed put with the rock and closed the engine. 5 min wait, and the leopard claimed up on the rock again - and we were all alone to vitnes the beautiful animal! Saw alot of other animals and the driver choose roads with no/few other cars, so we felt "alone" on the safari journey. Recommanded!

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

Our tour to Wilpattu National Park was well organised. Our driver and tour gide was very professional and friendly - it was a real plasure to meet him. We were lucky to see many wild animals including leopard. Highly recommend to anyone looking to book for a one day tour of Sri Lanka and very reasonably priced.

We had traveled to Colombo for a religious commemoration for 16 days. Your services started from the airport pickup and drop off at your apartment, the one in Seagull residences in Kollupitiya. First of all the apartment was amazing and very convenient in terms of location and most importantly nearby from the Bohri Masjid. The housekeeper, Mr. Lahiru was a very friendly and a very efficient person. Overall we enjoyed our tour to Sri Lanka and the whole credit goes to Panoramic tours. We also traveled to places like Bentota and Kandy and also had a great time. And would like to thank you to make the most of that time of ours and making this trip so wonderful and memorable. Much love and god bless you all!!
