1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
The glamping days - wonderful scenery, tranquil surroundings, lovely tents, good food.2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
Drink as much water as possible and be prepared to be hot. It would help if there could be a thermos of tea on the bus, by the way. That would reduce the time wasted stopping for an injection of much-needed caffeine. I would also reduce the number of lunches which also took far too much time out of the schedule: people really don't need to eat so much.3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Yes, it certainly provided employment for local people, and it helped that most of the hotels were making an effort to reduce waste.4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
Excellent. But please see my suggestions above. In addition, the Marriott Hotel at Weligama was out of keeping with the rest of the trip: a loud, vulgar place that really didn't fit in with the rest of the itinerary. Better to miss out Weligama and stay at Galle for two nights instead. We all loved the hotel in Galle and the hotel in Ella (although Ella is a ghastly town best avoided).Holiday Reviews
You can trust Responsible Travel reviews because, unlike many other schemes, reviews can ONLY be written by people who we have verified have been on the holidays. In addition, we don't run these holidays ourselves - our only interest is giving you the best independent advice.
