    Santosh's 7 days trip to Nuwara Eliya

    I am happy with the arrangements done by the Trip Travel hub company in Sri Lanka, They have provided good hotels and good car to go around. Although they can do a better job with planning the itinerary as we faced dificulty to cover everything that was planned in Nuwara Eliya, Kandy and Ramboda. We
    liked the accomodation provided in Sigirya, Ramboda, Mirissa, but the one in Yala was not that great. The company also should have enquired about our food preferences and planned for restaurants where we could eat proper meals. everyday it was a challenge to find vegetarian restaurent to eat lunch and snacks. The best part of the trip was the hotel Oak Ray Tea Bush, the amazing view from the hotel room was really worth it. Overall the trip was good and satisfactory.

    Dear Team, I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt appreciation for the incredible experience we had on our recent Sri Lankan trip. A huge thank you to Ms. Savindi for crafting a fantastic itinerary and accommodating all our custom requests. She was always available clearing all our doub
    ts and customising our needs. Her efforts made the trip truly unforgettable! Kudos to our Tour Guide Mr. Dhananjaya for being super cooperative, flexible, and caring, especially with the kids. His sensitivity and coordination made all the difference. He went above and beyond! And our kids loved his company. Looking forward to planning the next adventure! Wish you all the very best.

    Tour emerald were fantastic. The tour agent and their crew did a wonderful job. The stay in Bentota(Rathna Beach Resort) was not upto the mark. Stains in the bed and the toilets were not clean. I had given a poor review in trip advisor for them. Please do not recommend that beach resort for your cli
    ents. Apart from that , it was a wonderful experience.

    We would like to express our sincere thanks to Ms. Dilini for the wonderful arrangements and the care she put into making our trip truly memorable. From start to finish, she supported us patiently at every step and ensured we had the best possible experience in Sri Lanka. Even though we arrived dur
    ing challenging weather conditions, Ms. Dilini and our chauffeur Mr. Chamara made sure that every place we stayed and visited was comfortable and enjoyable. We booked a 10-day Sri Lanka tour with Steeple Tours, and it was an amazing experience. Everything was perfectly planned, from the well-balanced itinerary to the carefully selected hotels, allowing us to enjoy both sightseeing and relaxation. A special thanks to Mr. Chamara, our chauffeur and guide, who was polite, highly experienced, and very understanding of our travel needs. His driving and guidance made our journey smooth and stress-free. The entire team was professional, responsive, and attentive, ensuring a seamless travel experience. We returned with unforgettable memories and are truly grateful to Steeple Tours for making our trip so special. Highly recommended for anyone planning to visit Sri Lanka!

    Divya's 7 days trip to Nuwara Eliya

    The person who was handling from the travel triangle, she was no help. We have booked trips from travel triangle before they guide you, help you wit any question. Chetna dint do any communication and always asked to talk to the Sri Lanka agent. Which is fine but she was no help at all.

    Pandhareneelkant's 4 days trip to Nuwara Eliya

    The initial plans and arrangements looked good. Due to the rains and landslides, the locations were changed. The travel agent probably tried to reorganise things. He was not fully careful in selecting hotels as I had asked for all 5 star hotels. Even if a 4 star should have been chosen after thoroug
    h check. The Bentota stay was a mess. Mirissa was still good. To save money the agent did shabby arrangements not because of time. There were plenty of options. I am not happy with travel triangle for the first time. This must be compensated. Good stay inn Mirissa. Hotel was good though some initial confusion about the package but clarified later. The driver was principally good but not consistent. Young boy, goes away for long in the gaps, every time delayed to return and pick us. Always on the mobile phone. Very insecure driving.
