Our experience with Beyond Escapes was remarkable! From the get go, Dhammika was responsive over emails and helped chart out a lovely custom plan for me and my family which included a little bit of everything. There were temples, countryside drives, beaches, Safaris, and even city tours. Their choice of stays and the tour plan was well tailored for us and they were always available for tweaks. Each of our stays at Cinnamon Wild, Radisson, Amaya Hills and Gallway Heights were excellent. We had Ceaser drive us around for the whole week and he is a gem! Responsible, highly informative and an excellent guide who can hold up conversations about anything. He comes with decadesFrom politics to tourism to education to culture, he was very resourceful. There's so much more of Sri Lanka left for us to explore and we hope to do so soon with Beyond Escapes and Ceaser again! Thank you! Love, Vandhana, Meena, and Murthy. Bengaluru, India.

Dilan Dushmantha is an amazing tour guide and driver with wonderful local knowledge, master of history of Sri Lanka and one of the kindest most generous professional tour guide and driver you will ever meet. We were a group of eight women there for eight days and we saw absolutely everything possible. Dilan did everything to accommodate every request and went above and beyond with his positive professional attitude each and every day. I highly recommend him and suggest using his company. His vehicle was clean each and every day and in perfect condition. Thank you Dilan!
