We found DIA Lanka on the internet. Dili responded with the options, and kept us up to date on the from the first enquiry until we arrived. In Sri Lanka all the arrangements worked perfectly. Our tour was very comprehensive. We saw a lot of Sri Lanka, wonderful and varied scenery, had glimpses of the lives of ordinary Sri Lankans, and took in much of the culture and history. Our driver and guide, Pradeep, was always helpful and informative, and was endlessly cheerful. He was happy to adapt the itinerary to our preferences, and to take us to the places we wanted to see. His car was comfortable, and his driving was faultless. We met his lovely family. We thoroughly recommend DIA Travel and Pradeep. Some general notes on Sri Lanka. Many sites have an admission charge - mostly trivial, but significant in the National Parks. Sometimes you have to pay for a local guide. Everybody expects tips. The climb to Lion Rock at Sigiriya was the highlight for me. The view is stunning. But the climb is exhausting. Think carefully about it if you are elderly or unfit. The roads in Sri Lanka are generally very good - better than in the UK. But the jeep rides through the National Parks are on unmade roads which are very rough. These things will apply whichever tour company you use. We highly recommend DIA Travel.
