Blue Lanka Tours Reviews 

We are a retired couple who put our trust in Blu Lanka to organise a private tour of Sri Lanka (itinerary/hotels/tours/driver etc...). Based on our experience we would thoroughly recommend their service from start to finish and were made to feel special. If considering a visit to Sri Lanka I think my wife sums it best up by saying 'best holiday ever'. Blu Lanka's exceptionally friendly people and fantastic service are in our opinion second to none.

We had a great private tour tailored for the needs of myself and my 4 year old daughter. we had a 7 days private driver taking us to sirigiya, turtle farm, and yala safari. we had a wonderful time and our guide was so kind and accommodating. The hotels blue lanka chose for us were perfect with great pools for my child to swim in.

An efficient and very reliable service, and I have never had any problems with them. The vehicles have always been on time, the hotel bookings perfect and we have never had any problems with the choice of accommodation they make. The tours have been well thought out and tailored to what we want.

I have no hesitation at all in giving them a 5 star rating.

There was a mistake on my part on my tour date (I hadn’t actually even arrived yet) and Blue Lanka didn’t stress on it and, without question or hesitation, immediately rebooked the tour to the correct date with assurances all would be well. And it was.

My tour guide, Chanaka, was amazing providing interesting facts along the way. He made sure the tour ran smoothly. When I had a particular gift I was liking to find, he went out of his to take to a spot where I might find it.

The long drive back from Kandy was filled with good conversation on eduction, politics and even retirement benefits.

I was a bit hestitant taking a private tour on my own; Chanaka made it comfortable, informative and a truly enjoyable experience.

They were very helpful & friendly. Wish you all the best!

Blue Lanka Tours has Hospitality written in their DNA. They have provided me and my wife with Great customer service. Nimesha, who is a Senior Tour consultant for Blue Lanka Tours catered to all our needs required for a remarkable and unforgettable tour. I should say there is excellent service provided. I, myself being a Sri Lankan am proud to have companies like Blue Lanka Tours promoting this beautiful country to the rest of the world. I can absolutely guarantee that this is the tour agency group you need to go with to have your dream tour.

Blue Lanka Tours helped me in arranging transport service for my family for their 03 days holiday in Yala in July. The vehicle they provided is in super condition. Driver is also very friendly and flexible with our requirements. We were super excited with their excellent service.

Easy to work with, and had a comfortable trip!

We booked a Colombo city tour! Well prived, good comunication, on time, nice tour tour guide...five stars! THANKS!

Very well organized and a super tour guide Mr. Dhamitha De Alwis, who is knowledgeable, friendly and reliable.

Thank you Blue Lanka

with any of my requests, they always responded promptly in a very professional manner.

Blue Lanka Tours are fantastic! Deminda Fernando was great to work with on planning our 8 day tour. He was courteous and responded quickly to all our email requests. Our tour guide and driver Suresh Pushpakumara could not have done more for us during our tour. He was always available to answer all our questions, explain areas of interest, and make suggestions that made our tour unforgettable.
I highly recommend Blue Lanka Tours.

Had a great experience with Blue Lanka Tours. It all started with the planning which went smooth with everyone who helped us. They will totally adjust after your wishes as well as they gave useful tips and tricks. For all the requirements that we had, it was all fulfilled, for example first class train tickets.

We`re picked up at the airport and from there our 8 days journey started through Sri Lanka. Our journey went through Sigiriya(Village Tour and Sigiriya Lion Rock), Kandy(Dambulla Rock Cave Temple, Royal Botanic Garden and Sacred Temple of the Tooth Relic), Nuwara Eliya(Ramboda Waterfall and a tea factory on the way), train journey from Nanu Oya to Ella, then we stopped for a visit to the 9 Arch Bridge, then Yala(Safari in Yala National Park), Mirissa(Whale Watching) before we were dropped off in Colombo for 2 nights.

Depending of what you want to see, Blue Lanka will guide you on how many days you should stay in each city as well as they will help you with acommodation. They will also arrange tickets for everything after your wishes.

Our route is highly recommended for everyone who has 8 to 12 days in Sri Lanka.
Highly recommend Sigiriya Lion Rock, Nuwara Eliya, train journey and Mirissa. Nuwara Eliya was much better than expected. It is a cute little city which we used as a base for rest. They have a wonderful hotel. The rooms at this hotel is quite expensive, but the highlight about this hotel is the restaurants which serve food for a quite affordable prices for all tourist. The indian restaurants is packed every night and serve good food as well as they give good service.

Also have to give a big shoutout to our driver Duminda which made our journey much more better. From start to end he always made sure we were comfortable. We could ask him about everything and he always gave us great information for every city as well as he had great knowledge about his country. Duminda gave us plenty of water bottles every day and made sure the AC in the car was adjusted after our wishes. No matter how early he had to pick us up or how long the day had been, he was always smiling and making sure we were all good. Duminda made our trip more smooth and comfortable as he was easy to talk with and was always easy to reach. He was talking sweet about his family as well as Sri Lanka.
Our journey through Sri Lanka was 10x times worth it with Duminda as our driver.
As with everyone from Sri Lanka, Duminda really cares and will also adjust your journey to really make it comfortable for you.
Therefore, a big thank you to Duminda who made our trip well worth talking about to friends and family

Overall, I highly recommend if you are looking for someone to arrange a top and high quality trip through Sri Lanka. It was a pleasure to visit Sri Lanka being surrounded with smiling people who always gave service.

Thank you to Blue Lanka Tours for making this trip possible!

Spent a few hours in Colombo on a recent cruise. Wanted to see the hi lights and get a feel for the country in the short time we had available. Blue Lanka supplied a comfortable vehicle, an excellent driver/guide who drove us about and gave us plenty of information where required. Can happily recommend this company.

Blue Lanka Tours is very serious and professional agency. We organized a tailor-made tour and our guide/driver Deepal was at our side for about ten days. Deepal was flexible, accommodating and able to meet our demands and expectations. Customers well-being of the was important to him and to agency. We recommend this agency as well as Deepal.

A great tour with Blue Lanka and great service!

Fabulous service from start to finish, would thoroughly recommend.

I had visited Sri Lanka with my family in January with Blue Lanka Tours. I had an mesmerising experience to remember with Blue Lanka, right from planning where I was assisted by Dinesh, Upekha, Demnindo and others from Operations and Payments team to the 7 days in Sri Lanka with our truly amazing, understanding and helpful guide- Thushara Udayanga. Hoping to come back soon and travel the other unexplored areas of Sri Lanka with Blue Lanka and guided by Thushara.

I am so overwhelmed with the service that I am short of words but let me try to explain in detail about my experience with Blue Lanka.

Planning:

I wanted to take my family on a vacation and Sri Lanka was my first choice. Next, I googled for the best tour agencies in Sri Lanka and hola, 'Blue Lanka Tours' was the first suggestion. Since we were coming from India, I didn't want to experiment much and hence dropped a mail with my requirements to the Blue Lanka Tours official mail ID.

I was really amazed by their response. Within few minutes, I had a message from Dinesh Perera, CEO of Blue Lanka stating that one of the tour consultant shall reach out to me soon. Truly, within 15-20 mins, I had my first draft of itinerary sent to my mail by Upekha (tour consultant). With little amendments here and there, my final itinerary was in my pallette within a day. This is the level of dedication and care with which Blue Lanka caters to their clients. Client satisfaction is what they practice to their best.

Even when we were facing certain issues with the advance payment, they connected with us on WhatsApp and voice call and assisted us. Also, they were patient enough to cooperate during those times. Dinesh and Upekha were in contact throughout.

Worth mentioning, just 7 days before our travelling date, we wanted to visit Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage as well and some activities on our first day in Sri Lanka. Deminda Fernando, General Manager replied within few minutes with the best day where this can be accommodated in our already finalized itinerary. He also sent us the quotation for the same. Within hours, I had a mail from the Blue Lanka's Operations team with the revised
itinerary and details about our guide.

Everyone in Blue Lanka was prompt in their responses to our queries and
planning our best 7 days on the island.

7 days on the island:

We were greeted by Thushara Udayanga, our guide and chauffeur for the 7 days on the island. He presented us with garland and smile. We were happy beyond words with the reception. He was so humble, kind and patient. He catered to all our needs with a smile. He has vast knowledge about the places and we were enriched with the stories about people, places and lifestyle at Sri Lanka. He always had that ever smiling face throughout. He took us to food shops and help us experience the most popular local cuisines but also ensured we had it from the most hygienic places lest we may fall ill. His top priority was to ensure we were comfortable at all times.
Worth mentioning, on our visit to Sigiriya Rocks, mid way when my mom was not able to climb further because of health reasons, he first ensured that the rest of us are comfortable climbing up with the special guide and then took great care and accompanied my mother to the vehicle. He ensured at all times until we came back that my mom is not bored by engaging her in conversations. We are really thankful to him for taking care of her and supporting us in the times of trouble.
He is a super amazing person and we are really appreciative of his service especially the smile with which he greeted us every morning and the knowledge he has and his efforts in making the journey an interactive one.

To conclude, thank you Dinesh, Deminda, Thushara and the entire team of Blue Lanka for making our stay so comfortable and full of memories. We shall miss you all and our stay there.

Hoping to come back to Sri Lanka really soon with Blue Lanka and guided by Thushara.

Booking with Blue Lanka was a smooth and easy process.
Our guide Janaka was fantastic. Knowledgeable, very friendly and a very safe driver - would highly recommend him as a tour guide.

Two things I would like to point out..
1) please review the hotels you set up your guests. Some of them do not provide the most basic amenities.
2) I could not visit some temples because head covering was not allowed. I wear a head covering due to my religious background, hence could not visit the places. I paid for these visits in full but received no refund for them, which was disappointing. Pls mention the head covering clause in the itinerary (besides in the general info).

I'm still going to rate Blue Lanka high because we truly had a memorable trip thanks to Janaka!
