Some of my friends and my wife’s family visited Sri Lanka for our wedding in the August. I spoke to Maheshi about planning a tour for them. I wanted to give them a good time and was worried about the tour arrangements. So I was asking a lot of questions from Maheshi. I still remember what she told me,” you got a wedding to plan, so you take care of that, let me take care of your friends and family” Actually, she did. All my friends were over the moon. Way to go Olanka. We travel often but have found this company to be one of the most prompt for response and service. We were welcomed with our gentle English speaking guide. He took care to share point outall facts about his country. Totally recommend! Just check for Holidays in Sri Lanka before you book as they have many and this may affect travel! Olanka sent us emails transparently for everything, gave good recommendations and organized everything very well Thanks for the excellent service and we are waiting for another tour to have with you in future!
Great experience from start to finish with Ishara and Dugles. A After reading a lot of reviews, I approached Olanka through the chat feature available on their website. I was assigned with delightful Ishara who showed the enthusiasm throughout, even when we all came up with conflicting ideas on how the trip should go. She made the plan, suggested a few good places to stay and visit. Dugles was a good driver, friendly and very supportive to any needs of us through our journey of 6 days. Thanks for Olanka for making our spending time in Sri Lanka a comfortable and amazing experience. All round excellent! Got to spend 5 nights and 6 days in Sri Lanka and would definitely recommend the country and Olanka to all. I have to say I saw only smile and laughter on their faces when they came back! The hotels had excellent locations, beautiful interior and rooms, brilliant service from the transport driver and guide. All the people involved were extremely courteous, helpful and friendly. We will surely book a tour with Olanka again next time we come to Sri Lanka. Thank you so much for the assistance and professionalism in making our itinerary such a memorable experience!
I fell in love with Sri Lanka before I arrived! It was when Nima from Olanka provided me with my itinerary. Honestly I went through the itinerary with a fine tooth comb as I was a bit nervous booking with a tour group I didn’t know. But Nima answered every one of my queries and made changes to the itinerary as I wished (which were minor as the itinerary was amazing- especially the hotels). The entire process was soo smooth they planned everything to the best detail. The recommendations of the hotels were spot on. All with great prices, food, and scenic views.
Our driver was also amazing. Janith was proactive, kind hearted and always smiling. Also the best driver I know! He was knowledgeable and very well connected. We always got the best staff for our activities. He had all the required Intel of every location and knew all the best spots and Instagram friendly locations.
What an amazing country. I’d go again in a heart beat! It sure was an amazing experience thanks to Olanka.
Thumbs up to the team. Recommended for sure.
There was no regrets whatsoever for choosing Olanka Travels to plan out our short holidays in Sri Lanka. Our agent Maheshi has been nothing but attentive, efficient and extremely patient with planning our holidays based on our preferences. Most of the hotels we stayed in were lovely. Not forgetting our drivers Nuwan and Lalith who were punctual all throughout, very helpful and knowledgeable. They both brought us to their preferred restaurants that serve authentic Sri Lankan food and the food was amazing. The hotels they opt for us was awesome. We had a great time there as well as the food menu was great.
Overall in one word, the arrangements, tour, traveling, food and experience was awesome or above that. We left part of our hearts in Sri Lanka. I do really and sincerely Express my gratitude to them for giving us wonderful memories and experience and suggest them for others for their superb services. OLANKA , the bestest of the best and Mr.Ravindu, the owner of the company also extended his support for our package..all the very best for the future….Thank you Olanka Travels for making the trip enjoyable Should we revisit Sri Lanka in the future. I would definitely choose Olanka Travels as our travel agent again.
I reached out to Olanka Travels to book and they were beyond amazing! From the moment I got in touch with the Olanka Travels – Heshanie who was our Olanka contact went above and beyond to book our customized tour taking all of our detailed and specific requests and making them into a reality. We also had an amazing tour guide and driver who also FANTASTIC! He was knowledgeable and his driving was excellent. Our driver was wonderful, willing to do anything that we wanted and gave us the right amount of privacy. Every detail was taken care of; all we had to do was show up and enjoy our holiday. We stayed in wonderful hotels all book by Heshanie, all the tours, sites and activities we did were also excellent! Throughout the tour we felt safe, secure and it was truly a trip of a lifetime. Heshanie checked in on us throughout our week long tour and driver went above and beyond to make sure we were enjoying ourselves. We truly had a beautiful time exploring Sri Lanka and that is all because of Olanka tours and especially because of Heshanie and our driver. If you are looking to head to Sri Lanka – book with Olanka Tours, they will take EXCELLENT care of you and make your trip a memorable one!
Lasithi (trip planner) was great!!!!
The Lasithi (trip planner) with this travel agency was the best agent I have ever worked with. She answered the questions and delivered an itinerary for us that captured exactly what we were looking for my sister and her husband, the first trip to the Maldives. Overall this was the lowest stress trip. They loved that transportation for the trip was always on time and professionally staffed. All tickets for activities were covered. And the guides for most of the sites visited were truly were passionate about explaining.
About Lasithi, she was very proactive during the whole trip, once she helped us at 3 AM (early morning) when my sister and my brother in law, stuck at the airport while the Immigration. I really appreciate the work and dedication she showed towards them.
Thanks, Olanka and Lasithi for making the trip awesome for my Brother in Law and my sister.!!!! Best of luck!!!!
We had an amazing trip and Dilini did an amazing job in arranging everything in Vietnam. From receiving us in Hanoi to the final goodbye in Ho Chi Minh City, everything was fantastic.
The upgrades we received, the hotels that we stayed in, the lunch that was arranged, the vehicle that was provided, the tour guides we were provided — everything was above our expectation.
Among all, the best was at Hanoi and Ha Long Bay. Kien, our guide in Hanoi was one of the most amazing guide I have met. He was so friendly, kind and so helpful to us.
My family and I visited Sri Lanka in the period August 16 –March 9 2019. Olanka Travels helped us enormously to organize our trip around the country. Sri Lanka proved a miracle on earth! Wonderful landscape, kind people, excellent gastronomy, very comfortable hotels. Olanka Travels had accommodated all our requests and were very attentive on all the details of our journey. We in fact asked for transportation initially. Starting from booking our flights to organizing our itinerary, Heshani from Olanka Travels was extremely helpful and was literally 24/7 available for us. During our 3 weeks trip, we were fortunate to have Mahesh with us, the best driver we could ask for in Sri Lanka. With Mahesh we felt very safe in all the places we visited. He was very careful and diligent in driving, very discreet and kind and also the vehicle was very super luxurious. We visited all major attractions in a very comfortable way and Mahesh really managed to show us the beauties of this gorgeous island.
In a nutshell, we highly recommend Sri Lanka for holidays and we thank Olanka Travels for organizing this amazing trip for us!
