“Thank you for your help in organizing such a memorable trip to Sri Lanka – we had an amazing trip and really loved the country. I have recommended both SL [Sri Lanka] and Tiki Lanka [Tikalanka] to friends – it was a special trip and I think we were very lucky to see it relatively unspoilt and unpopulated with tourists.”

“Thank you so much John, we had such a wonderful time and have you, Pathi and Nihal to thank for that. We will definitely return in the future and we keep recommending you to everyone (I’m sure they are sick of us!).”

“We loved it all! Particularly the beautiful scenery, fascinating culture, friendly people, delicious food (lots of rice and curry!), and the amazing wildlife. We’d like to say many thanks to you, John, for all your help organising our trip at relatively short notice. You did a great job: we had a brilliant time and it was just what we had hoped for. Thank you very much!”

“We truly had an amazing experience in Sri Lanka! Our only regret is not spending more time, but even more reason for us to return. We’re especially appreciative of the detailed itinerary and planning done on our behalf – this was a weight off our shoulders and really took some of the stress out of planning our honeymoon.”

“Thank you for a lovely holiday, John. We really felt it was tailor made. We would stay at most of the hotels again. Mahesh or Ayesh was brilliant. He worked so hard. Drove well and had such a knowledge of everything. We could not recommend him enough.”

“We are back and a million thanks for organising such a fabulous time for us. We had a wonderful holiday. Everything was well planned with plenty of time allowed to do all the things we had chosen to do. A great mixture of relaxation and sightseeing and learning about the country and its lovely people. Nihal was amazing. Very knowledgeable on wildlife, farming, ways of life and culture in Sri Lanka. So polite and lovely in every way.”

“We had a wonderful holiday together as a family. Something for everyone and lots of things we enjoy doing together. Everything went very smoothly and if we wanted to make any changes, add anything in this was easy. Such a lovely country full of smiles and greenery. You made the trip easy and hassle free and we felt well supported. I really hope the tourism there picks up soon as the country has so much to offer and we really had no problems at all.”

“This really was the holiday of a lifetime and we couldn't have asked for more from our honeymoon. John and the team at Tikalanka were amazing throughout, responding to my silly questions and catering to our requests while also employing their deep knowledge of the country to make the trip truly special. Would absolutely recommend.”

“This was a truly memorable holiday. We loved Sri Lanka. The Itinerary was fantastic and allowed us to get a real feel for the history and culture of Sri Lanka. All the accommodation was first class. The food was delicious and the people were simply charming. Nihal was outstanding. This was one of the best-organised trips, up there with the very best holidays we have ever had. Well done to you John and to all of the team who made this such a success.”

“Our driver/guide Mahesh was fantastic – prompt, polite, knowledgeable, helpful, accommodating, and a very safe driver. The three places you chose for us to stay in were all excellent with good scenic locations, friendly staff and reasonable prices. We hope to go back to Sri Lanka but probably not for a couple of years. And if/when we do decide to go back, you’ll be the first person we call as your expertise was invaluable.”
