About this experience

Trascorri 15 giorni scoprendo le destinazioni più celebrate dello Sri Lanka in un tour privato, viaggiando nel tuo veicolo con un autista-guida dedicato che parla inglese. Dalle antiche città Patrimonio dell'Umanità come Sigiriya e Polonnaruwa alle piantagioni di tè avvolte dalla nebbia della regione collinare, ogni giorno porta un paesaggio distinto e un nuovo aspetto della storia e della cultura dell'isola. Tutti i costi del carburante, i parcheggi e i pedaggi autostradali sono inclusi, quindi ti sposti tra i siti senza interruzioni.

Il tuo autista-guida gestisce la navigazione e la narrazione mentre tu ti concentri su ciò che hai davanti a te — templi in roccia scolpita, stazioni collinari dell'era coloniale e tratti costieri che variano drammaticamente in tutto il paese. Si noti che l'alloggio in hotel, i biglietti d'ingresso e le spese personali sono organizzati separatamente, dandoti piena flessibilità su dove stare e quali siti visitare. L'età minima per la partecipazione è 11 anni.
