Wonderful Tour of Sri Lanka Sri Lanka Unveiled , QLD, Australia, Oct 2026
Just completed a comprehensive tour of Sri Lanka. Very varied itinerary, ranging from four safaris (saw bears, leopards, lots of elephants and even more peacocks!) to beach resorts and tea plantations. Never spend more than 2 nights in one hotel so be prepared for lots of packing and unpacking. The hotels were of a very high standard and ranged from read more those built in the 19th century to one built only 3 years ago.

They’ve changed the itinerary for the better next year except they miss out Tangalle’s beach escape which is a shame. APT were great overall. Would have preferred more drinks to be included and sometimes it didn’t make sense why they didn’t include a lunch or dinner. Didn’t need to spend the last night there and others were on return flights 24 hours earlier than us so I’d recommend confirming what’s possible and question the flight routes too. Hannah from Global Journeys was great as usual and always answered my questions promptly and in full.
Well-paced Sri Lanka Trip   Sri Lanka In-Style , NT, Australia, May 2026
The ‘Sri Lanka In Style’ trip was informative, well organised and offered diverse experiences across vibrant landscapes. Highlights included visits to ancient ruins, wildlife rich-national parks, a tea plantation in misty tea-covered hills and small village offering mount-watering local delicacies. The local guide (Thushara) was friendly and approachable read more and generously shared knowledge about his country with the group.

The bus was large, brand new and had a water cooler on board. Complimentary wifi and charging ports were also available on the bus. The bus driver (Dushan) and his assistant (Tharindu) also took fantastic care of us throughly the entire journey.

This compact tropical island packs a punch and is definitely worth travelling to, best done ‘in style’. Accommodation standouts were Shangri-La Colombo, Le Grande Galle and Water Garden Sigiriya.
Amazing Sri Lanka   Sri Lanka In-Style , QLD, Australia, Apr 2026
Our trip flowed smoothly from the moment we landed in Colombo. The people of Sri Lanka were gentle, charming and eager to ensure our experiences were memorable. Our accommodation was superb throughout the trip and food and services were first rate.

Our tour guide, Charmi, introduced us to a wide variety of Sri Lanka’s culture and history and we read more gained some understanding of life in Sri Lanka. The Sri Lankan countryside and our adventures in the National Parks were wonderful. Ten out of ten for this trip.
Spectacular Sri Lanka   Sri Lankan Discovery , QLD, Australia, Mar 2026
Thanks once again to Global Journeys, and in particular to Hannah and Georgie, for a wonderful experience in Sri Lanka. This was our first tour with Bunnik Tours and it wont be our last. The small group meant that the everyone got on so well and there was lots of room to spread out on the bus. The Sri Lankan Discovery tour was so comprehensive and read more was a packed full two weeks. The wild life reserves were a highlight (Elephants and even a Leopard) along with our climb to the top of Sigiriya (Lion Rock). All of the Hotels were of high standard and the food was wonderful. Thanks once again.

Wonderful tour of amazing India & Sri Lanka India & Sri Lanka Uncovered , WA, Australia, Jan 2025
I had an absolute whale of a time on the joint Tru Travels India & Sri Lanka tours in January 2025. I got an amazing discount for the tour on Global Journeys Black Friday Sale. Rachael at Global Journeys was a great, helpful travel advisor. She had great communication skills & kept me updated with regular emails & I even called her to chat. Nothing read more was too much trouble. I loved the Tru Travels itinerary and the extra amazing Tru Travel exclusive visits that other tour companies would never take you too. Both Shivy our Indian tour guide & Hasi our Sri Lankan tour guides were wonderful, knowledgeable, friendly guys & amazing dancers 😍. Both my tour group families loved and accepted me, even though I am older than the normal younger age bracket. We all got on so well and I'm proud to call them my family. Loved every minute of both tours and I would definitely go again with Tru Travels and Global Journeys. Thanks so much for an awesome experience. I'll never forget it. Two thumbs up 👍 👍
