The guide and the driver always fulfilled our wishes. We didn't want to see any temples, but that wasn't a problem. They then changed the program for us so that it suited us. They always took our wishes into account, whether it was the supermarket, having lunch or feeding the monkeys. We also really wanted to send a postcard to our family, they organized everything (from buying postcards to sending the cards). In the evening we wanted to explore the village, so the guide came especially and picked us up and showed us the village. They made everything possible. The guide also looked after us very well so that we didn't get ripped off (because of money). The hotels were all very nice, the food was very good in every hotel. The guides always asked if everything was okay. The guide agreed an individual time with you when they should pick you up. There were no problems with picking us up from our hotel before the tour either.

Great tour. Highly recommended. We saw so many different birds and animals. Our guide was very knowledgeable and could answer all our questions. Comfortable ride to Mirissa too.
