We’ve just returned from our 14-day trip around Sri Lanka , and I’d like to say that, thanks to this agency ANUJATRAVELS , and in particular the driver assigned us, Dee – the trip was perfect. He was an exceptional person who helped us get to know the country and its customs much better, showing us the most beautiful places. He was always looking out for us, and whatever we needed, he was there to help and give us advice on what to see, how to see it, where to eat, and so on… In the end, it felt as though he was just another member of our family. I got in touch with for one recommendation of a friend, and everything went very well. If you ask them, they’ll suggest the route they think is best, depending on what you want to see and the time of the travel ; or, as in my case, I suggested a route, and we adapted it as I came across new things to see. We chose the minivan option for greater comfort, but they offer both sedan and minivan options, depending of the group size. They’ll also suggest hotels, arrange them for the trip, or you can choose them yourself. We did the 14-day itinerary in an anti-clockwise direction, and we loved every bit of it, starting with Colombo, Galle, Yala, Ella, Nuwara Eliya, Kandy, Sigiriya, Anuradhapura and Nilaveli. When we arrived at the airport, Dee was waiting for us with a sign bearing our names, and everything went brilliantly. He helped us right from the start – with the cash machines to withdraw money, getting a local SIM card for our mobiles, and recommending places to visit and where to eat – always looking out for us. He recommended that we plan our itinerary based on what we wanted to see, suggesting the best times to visit each place (he’d make suggestions, but always asked for our approval first); he showed us the country’s fruits and explained so many things about its culture – details that you’d always miss if you were travelling on your own. So, to sum up, I can only say very good things about ANUJATRAVELS and the way it’s run, and above all, thank you for assigning Dee to us – a brilliant driver, a perfect guide and, above all, a wonderful person.

Un'esperienza indimenticabile, curata nei minimi dettagli e resa ancora più speciale da una presenza davvero eccezionale: la nostra guida Dee. Fin dal primo giorno, Dee non si è limitato a mostrarci lo Sri Lanka, ma ce lo ha fatto vivere con il cuore. Ha disegnato per noi un itinerario perfetto, capace di bilanciare alla perfezione la maestosità della natura, la ricchezza culturale dei templi, il relax delle spiagge e l'autenticità della vita locale. Ciò che ha reso questo viaggio unico è stata la sua incredibile disponibilità. Dee ha ascoltato ogni nostra richiesta, ha esaudito ogni piccolo o grande desiderio e si è anticipato a ogni nostra esigenza con un sorriso sincero, grande professionalità e una profonda passione per la sua terra. Grazie alle sue spiegazioni, ai suoi consigli preziosi e alla sua cura costante, ci siamo sentiti sempre accolti, sicuri e coccolati. Lo Sri Lanka è un paese meraviglioso — fatto di paesaggi mozzafiato, piantagioni di tè a perdita d'occhio, fauna selvatica e una calore umano unico —, ma viverlo insieme a Dee ha trasformato una splendida vacanza in un ricordo indelebile che porteremo sempre nel cuore. Grazie di tutto, Dee! Consigliamo a chiunque voglia scoprire questo fantastico Paese di affidarsi alle sue mani esperte.

I was organised a good trip :) Wilpattu National Park. We were the second in the queue at the gate in the morning. The park driver was well chosen, we had some good sportings of leopards. Night wild catsafari was lovely and unexpected :) Also, the elephant spotting near the village.
