Inolvidable las vacaciones y sobre todo inolvidable el chófer Tharindu Recomendable cien por cien

Tuvimos una atención maravillosa por parte de Pathumi, y de chófer a Tharindu, un gran profesional y mejor persona. Nos dejo un recuerdo imborrable.

We had a great experience with Explore vacations — Antan and Pathumi were very helpful and attentive in helping organise logistics for our trip, including train tickets and a car and driver for our trip to the tea country in and around Nuwara Eliya. Tharindu our driver was spectacular — he looked after us so well and was very knowledgable of the local surroundings, intrigues and sites — in addition to being a great and safe driver. Would definitely recommend to use Explore Vacations!

This was an amazing trip. This was made possible because our guide Sandu Fronceska was amazing. He's kind, understanding, patient and very friendly. He knows English well so there no problem with the language. If you're trying to get here, ask for Sandu.

Ayubowan! I recently returned home from a trip of a lifetime booked through Explore Vacations! Thank you Pathumi Silva for organizing our amazing itinerary that allowed our family to experience so much that your beautiful island has to offer - rich in history, tradition, culture and breathtaking vistas ❤️ Above all thank you for introducing us to Tharindu Hapuarachchi as our chauffeur, guide, educator and forever friend 💙💙💙 For those who ask “why Sri Lanka?” I say why not; you will not be disappointed! Explore Vacations should be your first point of contact in booking your next trip of a lifetime!

My family and I recently returned from a two week vacation to Sri Lanka with Explore Vacations. Our experience exceeded our expectations. We worked with Phatumi to create a customized itinerary that showcased the country’s rich history, culture, people, food and nature and our guide/chauffeur/educator and friend, Tharindu, was absolutely extraordinary. His passion, knowledge, flexibility, calmness and genuine nature elevated our experience beyond measure. He became a part of our family. It was an unforgettable adventure thanks to Phatumi and Tharindu, we didn’t want to leave! If Sri Lanka isn’t already on your bucket list, it should be! I highly recommend visiting this beautiful country and working with Explore Vacations. 10/10 experience all round!

Some of my Canadian family just completed a tour with Explore Vacations. I highly recommend planning your tour with them. Pathumi planned an ideal itinerary - the tour itself, sites visited, hotels and all details were brilliant. Her support and responsiveness was amazing. Our “chaffeur/guide/captain/problem solver/friend”, Tharindu, was amazing beyond description. He safely and expertly guided us for two weeks. It was hard to leave Sri Lanka and to say goodbye (or “until next time”). Explore Vacations went above and beyond from a customer service perspective. I would highly recommend engaging them in your planning. And do it now! Sri Lanka is an incredible destination - the people, the culture, the variety and beauty of the island, the food etc etc. I can’t say enough positive things about our experience. We can’t wait to go back and will be relying on Pathumi and Tharindu to guide us again. Thank you Explore Vacations ☺️

Wonderful experience. Extremely kind chaperone and felt super safe throughout the journey. Strongly recommended
