Took this awesome tour with this company while on a business trip in Sri Lanka. Our guide for central highlands trip told us lots of history about these magical places we visited. It was nice warm weather which made us more enjoyable. The highlight was climbing to the top on Horton plains where the view was thrilling. They told us stories on top of the hill and the vibes with great. This tour was awesome and excellent value for money ❤️.

We booked 5 days central highlands tour with Beyond Escapes in February. It was fantastically organized and went above we expected. We really enjoyed with cool, calm and soothing climate in Nuwara Eliya and Kandy. Our guide Imran was superb. Very knowledgeable, active, descent and punctual. Hesara - our tour operator contacted us daily to check whether we were happy with things they offered. We highly recommend Beyond Escapes and hope to see you guys in our next visit!

Me and my fiance planned a trip to Sri Lanka in February this year. After searching for many tour operators we decided go with Beyond Escapes who were very professional in managing our expectations. We visited Kandy temple which is home to sacred tooth relic, major highlights in Nuwara Eliya - Horton plains, tea plantations, tea factory and we just walked in cool climes of Nuwara Eliya town. Specially hotel options they had arranged were wonderful. Staff, food and views of each hotel were perfect. I honestly recommend Beyond Escapes! Your customer service is at level best! Keep it up!

My boyfriend and I visited Sri Lanka this March and out of all the tours this is the best tour we had! We are so glad that we chose this with Beyond Escapes! They were always ensuring that we were comfortable throughout the tour. The hotels were really good! There was nothing to complain about because everything was at our hands! We loved our stay at Simpson's Forest and the high tea they offered with a beautiful view captured our hearts. I truly recommend Beyond Escapes for their excellent service! You will never be disappointed! Thank you Beyond Escapes 🙂
