Notes
The whole tour can be customized at any given point or time as required by the guest/s
The days of arrival and departure is not considered for the chauffer charge hence considered as free of charge
Due to the prevailing economic crisis in the country and as well as in the world the dollar exchange rate is fluctuating rapidly up and down. This would mostly effect on the entrance fees sometimes but not on the Chauffer and vehicle fees unless it’s a large difference
Please come back to me at your earliest as the tickets for the train ride needs to be booked ASAP due to the high demand.
Everything was perfect. I would repeat with Amazing Getaways, and I recommend them to manage the trip 100%.
The entire trip was organized without intermediaries with Amazing Getaways, which saved us costs. Complete attention and follow up before, during and after the trip, so we are delighted with both the Manager Sanchitha and the assigned guide, Madushanka. All the hotels have been very good, with great qualities, cleanliness and food. As it is such a long drive, I recommend spending money on a high end car.
I insist: excellent management and organization by Amazing, who were attentive to every detail to please us and to offer us the best of their country. SUPERB!
¡Nuestro recorrido de 7 días y 4 noches de vacaciones junto al mar en Sri Lanka ha sido fantástico!
Todo estuvo bien organizado y salió según lo planeado. Si había algo que queríamos ver o hacer que no estaba en el plan, no fue ningún problema para nuestro guía Nishantha organizarlo.
