Firstly, we are truly sorry that your holiday of a lifetime to Southeast Asia—especially one planned to celebrate such special occasions as your 70th birthday and wedding anniversary—could not go ahead as intended. We completely understand how disappointing this must have been.

The recent airspace disruptions in the Middle East created an unprecedented situation affecting many travellers globally. During this time, our priority was to support our customers with clear communication, practical options, and fair outcomes, even under significant operational pressure.

We are pleased to hear that you felt well informed throughout and that we were able to offer you options. Most importantly, we are glad we could provide a full refund promptly, ensuring you were not left out of pocket in circumstances entirely beyond anyone’s control.

Southeast Asia remains one of the most rewarding regions to explore, offering a rich tapestry of culture, cuisine, landscapes, and unforgettable experiences across destinations such as Vietnam, Cambodia, and Thailand. We genuinely hope you will have the opportunity to enjoy this journey in the near future.

At Lumle Holidays, we believe in delivering more than just a holiday. Our approach is centred around putting our customers first, offering quality experiences at unbeatable value, and standing by our guests not only during their travels, but also when plans are unexpectedly disrupted.

Dear Smiles,

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience. Reviews like yours are incredibly valuable and will certainly help other travellers who are planning a Vietnam holiday and considering their options.

Dear Ms MMJ,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We truly appreciate you outlining your experience, as this will be helpful for other travellers considering a similar trip.

We are sorry to hear that the pricing for a solo traveller did not meet your expectations. We completely understand that the solo supplement can appear higher when compared with traditional “single supplements” offered elsewhere, and we would like to provide some helpful context.

At Lumle Holidays, our tours are designed to operate with no minimum group size. This means that once you book, your holiday is guaranteed to run—even if you are the only traveller on that departure.

In many group tours, lower single supplements are possible because departures rely on a minimum number of participants (often 10–20 people). However, if those numbers are not reached, the tour may be cancelled.

In contrast, our approach ensures:

1. Guaranteed departures with no minimum numbers
2. The same full experience with private transport, guides, and services, even for one traveller
3. Carefully curated journeys delivered with consistency and reliability

This is why the solo supplement reflects more than just a room—it supports the full operation of the tour, ensuring your holiday goes ahead exactly as planned.

At Lumle, we believe in putting our customers first, offering quality experiences at an unbeatable overall value, and delivering more than just a holiday—but a seamless, worry-free journey.

That said, we fully appreciate that different travellers have different priorities. If flexibility is preferred and you are comfortable with departures that may depend on minimum numbers, other options in the market may suit better. However, if certainty and guaranteed travel are important, our approach offers real value.

We would be delighted to welcome you on one of our future journeys. We offer a wide range of destinations and styles, and we would be happy to help find something that suits you perfectly.

Thank you again for your feedback.

Sri Lanka is such a captivating destination, offering a beautiful blend of culture, nature and unforgettable experiences—from lush tea plantations and cascading waterfalls to ancient temples and scenic landscapes. We are thrilled that you are enjoying these highlights and that the journey has felt so special and immersive.

Your kind words about Isuru are especially appreciated. A great guide can truly transform a holiday, and we are delighted to hear that he has made your experience even more memorable with his exceptional service. We will certainly pass on your feedback to him.

Thank you as well for your honest feedback regarding the train journey. We completely understand how important these experiences are, and we apologise that this change was not communicated in advance. Occasionally, local operational changes or railway scheduling adjustments can occur, but we fully agree that clearer communication beforehand is essential. We will review this with our local team to ensure improvements going forward. We are pleased, however, that the alternative journey still offered beautiful scenery and that you were able to enjoy a train experience later in your itinerary.

At Lumle Holidays, we are proud to deliver what we call the Lumle Difference. This means putting our customers first at every stage, offering high-quality, carefully curated holidays at an unbeatable price, and delivering more than just a holiday. Our focus is on creating truly memorable travel experiences while ensuring you feel supported, safe and well cared for throughout.

It is wonderful to hear that you had an amazing time exploring Sri Lanka, particularly across the southern part of the island. Sri Lanka is such a diverse and rewarding destination, offering a rich mix of cultural heritage, natural beauty and immersive local experiences. From wildlife safaris in national parks to scenic tea estates in the highlands, tranquil forest walks, vibrant spice gardens and centuries-old temples, it offers a well-rounded and enriching travel experience. We are delighted that you were able to enjoy so many of these highlights during your 10-day Sri Lanka tour.

We are especially pleased to hear your kind words about Gregory. Having a knowledgeable and attentive guide can make all the difference, and it is fantastic to know that he enhanced your journey by bringing each destination and experience to life.

It’s also very encouraging to hear that everything was well organised and ran smoothly throughout your trip. Delivering seamless and carefully planned travel experiences is something we take great pride in. We are glad you enjoyed the range of accommodation and the quality of food provided. We also appreciate your honest feedback regarding the pool area at one of the hotels, and we will certainly review this with our local partners to ensure consistent standards across all properties.

Your Maldives extension sounds like the perfect way to unwind after an active tour. The short direct flight from Colombo to Malé makes it an ideal combination, and staying at Cinnamon Dhonveli offers a truly relaxing island experience. Beach bungalows with direct access to the ocean, combined with easy access to facilities, create exactly the kind of peaceful and luxurious setting travellers look forward to after exploring Sri Lanka.

This means putting our customers first, ensuring high-quality travel experiences at an unbeatable price, and delivering more than just a holiday.

Dear Caroline,

Thank you very much for your wonderful review and for choosing Lumle Holidays once again. It truly means a great deal to us to have returning travellers like yourself, and we are delighted to hear that your second experience with us met—and lived up to—your expectations.

Your journey combining a Sri Lanka tour with a Maldives holiday is one of our most loved travel experiences, and it’s easy to see why. Sri Lanka offers an incredible blend of culture, history, wildlife and scenic beauty—from ancient temples and lush tea plantations to golden beaches and vibrant local life. The addition of the Maldives provides the perfect contrast, offering pure relaxation with its crystal-clear waters, white sandy beaches and tranquil island atmosphere. It is wonderful to hear that this balance of exploration and relaxation worked so well for you.

We are especially pleased that everything ran smoothly from start to finish. Seamless travel is at the heart of what we aim to deliver, and your feedback reassures us that every element of your holiday—from logistics to accommodation—came together exactly as intended. It’s fantastic to hear that you enjoyed the accommodation throughout, and particularly Blue Waters, which truly is an architectural gem and a favourite among our travellers for its unique design and beachfront setting.

Your kind words about Prasad and your drivers are greatly appreciated. Our local guides and drivers play such an important role in shaping the overall experience, and it’s lovely to know that they made your journey even more enjoyable with their warmth and professionalism.
