04 Days – Taste of Hanoi

I contacted Olanka online about our planned family trip to Sri Lanka. Thamashiya did a great job in pulling together an itinerary that ensured we visited all the sites we wanted to see. We are a family of 4 with 2 teenage kids. Our driver was Ali and he was fantastic. Excellent spoken English and a very safe driver. Believe me, in Sri Lanka, you want a safe driver! Nothing was too difficult and he always accommodated our wants and needs. He took time to...

Myself and my finacée recently returned from a trip to Sri Lanka that was organised by Olanka Travels. We had a wonderful trip starting in Negombo and finishing in Bentota.

Salini put together a trip that covered landmarks and experiences such as the Yalla National Park, a visit to...

After a little googling, I chanced upon Olanka Travels having read the reviews one night about 5 days before our selected dates of travel. A young lady named...

We’ve just returned from a truly brilliant holiday in Sri Lanka arranged by Olanka Travels. Our tour consultant, Manori, was excellent whilst arranging the holiday. She put together several itinerary options then helped us to refine our tour so that it matched what we wanted to do with the hotels that we wanted to stay in. She was also happy to work in hotels from our own research, so there was complete flexibility to make sure we got exactly what we were looking for. Manori...

The services provided by Olanka Travels were excellent. Olanka staff were friendly, established good rapport with the tour participants and showed good local knowledge. The hotels provided were good; clean and furnished room, swimming pool and helpful staff. Our meals consist of a good spread of both local and international dishes, and at unique settings too. We had dinner at camp fire, breakfast by the river and lunch in a restaurant that offers panoramic view of Colombo city. I believe the needs of every tour...

Some of my friends and my wife’s family visited Sri Lanka for our wedding in the August. I spoke to Maheshi about planning a tour for them. I wanted to give them a good time and was worried about the tour arrangements. So I was asking a lot of questions from Maheshi. I still remember what she told me,” you got a wedding to plan, so you take care of that, let me take care of your friends and family” Actually, she did. All my...

Great experience from start to finish with Ishara and Dugles. A After reading a lot of reviews, I approached Olanka through the chat feature available on their website.

She made the plan, suggested a few good places to stay and visit. Dugles was a good driver, friendly and very supportive to any needs of us through our journey of...

I fell in love with Sri Lanka before I arrived! It was when Nima from Olanka provided me with my itinerary. Honestly I went through the itinerary with a fine tooth comb as I was a bit nervous booking with a tour group I didn't know. But Nima answered every one of my queries and made changes to the itinerary as I wished (which were minor as the itinerary was amazing- especially the hotels). The entire process was soo smooth they planned everything to the...

We had an amazing trip and Dilini did an amazing job in arranging everything in Vietnam. From receiving us in Hanoi to the final goodbye in Ho Chi Minh City, everything was fantastic.

Among all, the best was at Hanoi and Ha Long Bay. Kien, our guide in Hanoi was one of the...

We in fact asked for transportation initially. Starting from booking our flights to organizing our itinerary, Heshani from Olanka Travels was extremely helpful and...
