Colombo Packages Reviews

Read on to find out why our customers love us!

Surbhi's 9 days trip to Colombo

Hotels were good with decent vegetarian options available. The cab was in good condition with decent driver, but try allocating someone who is aligned with the hectic/lenient schedule of the trip. Also for the travel agent services, initially itenary was planned and full trip can was chosen with a purpose of going to nearby restaurant with convenience. This was clarified over call as well..but this 1as questioned when we wanted to visit a restaurant for lunch. Paid extra for this. May be travel agent should specify how many kms we are allowed to move in a particular day or trip if we are taking cab for complete trip...else there is no use . Also the Sim cards which were given in the package stopped working one day before our trip ended...whi h caused lot of hassle when we were outside the hotel. Overall the trip experience was good , but could have been better if above points were taken care of

Surbhi Sawhney Delhi

Aadityan's 7 days trip to Colombo

It was great experience travelling. All the hotels were great only one hotel was average. That was also great in terms of service but it was old buildings. Chauffeur was great in guiding us throughout the trip.

Pragya's 7 days trip to Colombo

We booked 7 day itinerary to Sri Lanka with Dinagi travels. Chamodi was our travel agent and she was very proactive in answering all queries and customizing the itinerary as per our requirements. Our car was very clean and comfortable and our driver Gamini was very good. All the hotel stays were good except the one in Bentota , Laluna, it seemed not well maintained, but beach was accessible with a 5 min boat ride. I would highly recommend to book with Chamodi.

Jagannath's 8 days trip to Colombo

Exceptional Service by Ayesha & Kavindu – A Perfect Sri Lanka Trip! A huge thank you to Ayesha, our travel agent, for flawlessly planning our trip from Sigiriya to Colombo, ensuring every detail was taken care of, including our 5-star stay at Marino Beach Colombo. A special shoutout to Kavindu, our guide and chauffeur, who was with us for seven days, assisting us at every step with his local knowledge and warm hospitality. His thoughtful gestures, like the random King Coconut treat, made our journey even more special. Every destination was a delight: Sigiriya – The majestic Sigiriya Rock climb was tough but offered breathtaking views. Kandy – The Temple of the Tooth Relic and Kandy Lake were serene and beautiful. Nuwara Eliya – The cool weather and lush tea plantations made it a scenic paradise. Horton Plains – The stunning landscapes of World’s End and Baker’s Falls left us in awe. Ella – Enjoyed the stunning views and the iconic Nine Arches Bridge. Yala – The wildlife safari experience was thrilling, with sightings of elephants, deer, and crocodiles. Galle – Loved the colonial charm and pristine beaches. Colombo – A perfect end with a luxurious stay at Marino Beach and its infinity pool. Thanks to Ayesha for seamless planning and Kavindu for his exceptional guidance, making this an unforgettable and hassle-free experience. Highly recommended!
