Nimal was our guide for the majority of our 2 weeke trip around Sri Lanka. He drove us all over including Sigiriya, Kandy, Ella, Udawalawe, Ahangama and Galle. Nimal always went above and beyond to enrich our experience - there’s a side of Sri Lanka we wouldn’t have seen without him - especially the surfing on Ahangama beach which was not part of our original plan! We visited just after the extreme flooding in Sri Lanka and Nimal always put our safety first. Despite the effects of the flooding he still managed to drive us to all our locations on our plan. Nimal spoke to locals and tourist attractions on our behalf to ensure we weren’t overcharged on prices and also helped us to get private tours with just us and a guide often - without him we definitely wouldn’t have had the same experience. He also had lots of stories and showed us lots of interesting things on the way including buffalo curd on the side of the road and king coconuts! We’d highly recommend Nimal and will be doing so to our family and friends!
Short Sri Lanka Getaway
4 Days · 3 Nights private tour, hosted by Ceylon Quay

This package is designed around limited time. The aim is not to pretend you can see everything in four days, but to create a route that still feels complete and worthwhile within a shorter schedule.
It works well because it keeps the distances practical, the focus clear, and the logistics easy. The route can be tailored more toward culture, scenery, or lighter relaxation depending on your priorities.

We requested a completely bespoke honeymoon and every single detail was perfect - boutique villa overlooking tea hills, sunrise at Sigiriya. Pure, unforgettable magic.
As a solo traveller, safety was my top priority. My guide made me feel like I had a trusted local friend at every step.
