Questions Travellers Ask
Is this tour private or shared with other travellers?+
Every tour we run is private. You travel only with your own party, in your own air-conditioned vehicle, with your own English-speaking chauffeur-guide. There are no shared coaches and no fixed departure dates.
Can the itinerary be changed?+
Yes. The day-by-day plan is a starting point. Nights can be added or removed, hotels changed to a different category, and sights swapped for others nearby. Tell us what you would like and we will send a revised plan before you confirm.
How do I get a price?+
Prices depend on your travel dates, group size, vehicle and hotel category, so we quote each trip individually rather than publishing a fixed figure. Send us your dates on WhatsApp or through the quote form — we usually respond quickly on WhatsApp and aim to reply to all enquiries within 24 hours.
Do you handle airport pickup?+
Yes. Airport pickup and drop-off at Bandaranaike International Airport are included, including late-night and early-morning arrivals. Your chauffeur meets you in the arrivals hall with a name board.
Is seven days too rushed for the classic circuit?+
Seven days covers the Cultural Triangle, hill country and one coastal or safari stop comfortably if the route is planned around driving times. Trying to add the east coast as well is where a week starts to feel rushed.
Do I need a visa before arriving?+
Most visitors need an ETA or visa arranged before travel. Rules have changed recently, so check the current requirements for your nationality close to your departure date rather than relying on older advice.
