Reviews about this tour

Hi Reg – sorry it has taken me so long to reply.   This house sometimes seems as if a tornado is passing through!    Leo and I enjoyed every minute in Sri Lanka and thank you so much for all the organising you did.   I still go by everything we filled in on the sheet given to us in Sri Lanka.   Could not fault the hotels, tours, meals and Suren was an added bonus.   Perhaps the last night in Colombo – could be at a different hotel. But the staff did all they could to help us.   Thank you also for coming to see us on the two occasions that you did.   So many people are going to Sri Lanka – I think it is going to be very busy.   I have told many people that when they are ready I have the Melbourne phone number for them to ring.   Actually have been asked by a couple if we would like to go again with them!   I wish you well in your venture and so happy Ann and Geoff asked us to join them.
Good luck and good health always..
Regards Leo and Judy Robertson.

Dear Reg & Nalinda,
We arrived home yesterday afternoon, having stopped off in Singapore on the way home.
We both would like to thank you very much for such a great tour, it far exceeded our expectations. Please extend our specific thanks to Suren, who was outstanding - professional, considerate, flexible and innovative - and always happy, and went way beyond what is usually required of a tour guide.
We are happy to recommend Leisure world tours / Fun holidays - which would be the best address to direct enquiries to ?
Best Regards

Hi Nalinda & Reg
How are you? Hope fine. As for us we all fine. You have always been in our thoughts but unfortunately we have been so busy since we came back from Sri Lanka that I did not write back to you. Went on a cruise and came back on Monday. Just now came back from a wedding.
Thank you very much for making it memorable for us. Few things we missed but they were beyond our control .We enjoyed every moment of our stay in Shri Lanka.
Thank you once again and do visit us when in Australia.

Hi Nalinda & Reg
Just wanted to send through a few kind words regarding our holiday last year. Feel free to use these on your website, etc. (Or if you could point us to your favourite review site, we'd be happy to leave it there too!)
We had the time of our lives on our customized tour from Fun Holidays. It was really well priced for our budget, and included everything we wanted to see (and FunHolidays helped us make our itinerary even better with their advice!) The driver was professional, courteous and honest, and got us everywhere feeling safe and relaxed. Overall, an absolutely fantastic experience that we'd happily recommend to anyone thinking of visiting amazing Sri Lanka.

Dear Reg,
My girlfriend and I were really happy of our driver Nuwan Sity.
He was driving safely and always ready to stop on our request.
He was extremely friendly and able to explain the culture and story of Sri Lanka.
He definitely improve our experience and I highly recommend everyone to hire your service and Sity.
Best regards
