Direct Links did a good job arranging our vacation to Sri Lanka. The vehicle, driver were good. But yes the hotel bookings were a little disappointing and could have been better. We were provided with a map, sim-card, water-bottle by the driver at our arrival at the airport. The vehicle had wifi, so connectivity wasn't an issue. We had lot of places in our itinerary, so we had to stretch out our schedule, spending around 3-4 hours traveling. The entire trip was dependent on the driver's knowledge of local places and guidance, luckily we had a good one. Thank You, Direct Links !! It was a memorable trip !!
Sri Lanka is a beautiful place, the route from Colombo to Galle is fascinating. I would recommend the train ride too. Make sure you visit Hikkaduwah, Bentota, Galle. They have got lovely beaches. Kandy, Nuwara Eliya are beautiful too - Gregory Lake, a dinner at the boat-shaped Chinese restaurant under the moon . We had a great time at Ramboda waterfalls. Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage can be avoided, it has been completely commercialized, my suggestion avoid it. But Sri Lanka, is beautiful, it is a paradise in its own way.
