How much does a private Sri Lanka tour cost?
It depends on the length of the trip, the hotels you choose, the season and how many guided days you want. My Way Travel sends an itemized quote for your own dates, with no obligation, rather than a fixed package price.
How do I choose the right travel agency for Sri Lanka?
Ask who your driver-guide will be and whether they stay with you for the whole trip, which hotels are booked, how the route handles the two monsoons, and what support is available if plans change. Recent reviews from travelers on similar trips are the best check.
