Sri Lanka Travel Agents

Dhanushka and the Koon Holiday team created a great personalised experience for our holiday in Sri Lanka.

The initial consultation on what we wanted identified the type of experience we were after. Nothing was too much to ask.

Our local guide and driver, Kapıla Kaluarachichi was a great travel companion, in addition to being a great local guide, and provided great cultural and historical background for all of the sites visited.

Special mention goes to Mr Goonie in Polonnaruwa for his second to none knowledge of the local archeological sites and to Mr Jimmy Heyn, the manager at Sambar Hills resort in Nuwara Eliya for his attention to detail and his personalised service.

We would definitely use KimKim again.

My wife and I spent a wonderful six days on tour across Sri Lanka with Dami (Daminda Bandara). I think we drove a little under 700 miles. Everything went very well: we saw lots of magical sites, ate delicious food, and engaged in exciting activities. The tour was very well planned.

Dami was a fantastic tour guide and driver. He is outgoing and friendly, and a very enjoyable travel companion. A proud Sri Lankan, Dami provided us a good history of his native country and of the various sites we visited including Sigiriya Rock, various temples, and a game drive. He is also an expert on native birds and could identify even the smallest birds from a distance. Impressive!

Throughout our tour Dami was an attentive guide and a good listener. On his advice we switched things up on the tour agenda so that we could climb Sigiriya in the cooler morning rather than the heat of the day. Dami learned we liked various foods, e.g., beetroot and chocolate, and he made sure we got to try some Sri Lankan beetroot curry and chocolate. Dami also pulled over on our drive to show us various sites and locals at work. For example, we stopped to see how coconut oil is made.

During our climb and descent of Sigiriya Rock Dami was very helpful to my wife who was leery of the uneven and gravel-covered steps.

Dami ensured we were well fed with high-quality food throughout the trip. All the lunch sites at which we stopped were delicious. One lunch might well be the best meal we will have had this year, at the Old Palm House in Galle.

Importantly, Dami is a careful driver and ensured that we were safe throughout the trip.

Overall, we give Dami the highest rating and would whole heartedly recommend him to others as a top-notch tour guide.

My 3-weeks trip in Sri Lanka was very well designed by Dhanushka. It was highly comprehensive, full nature excursions and cultural activities that gave me a strong understanding of Sri Lanka’s rich history and appreciation for its diverse natural resources. Some of my favorite activities included the elephant safaris, Sigyria, village tours in Dambulla, tea plantation visits in Nuwara Eliya and hikes and waterfalls in Ella. My driver and guide Malinda was also extremely helpful with coming up with optional activities that met my interests and needs. Having a private driver and guide gave me a lot of flexibility and personalized attention and care as a single traveler. Every day of my trip was filled with wonderful surprises of new things to learn and enjoy about Sri Lanka. I loved my trip so much that I hope to come back again and explore parts I haven’t seen with Koon Holidays / Kim Kim.

Explore Nuwara Eliya

Sri Lanka

This region is less mentioned by other tourists from itineraries I have seen online so I am really glad Dhanushka included in my itinerary. The natural beauty of this place is breathtaking with rolling hills of lush tea plantations, majestic mountains and lakes, and peaceful village life. I loved my tea plantation visits, learning the tea picking and making process, sampling a variety of tea and having high tea at Grand Hotel. Gregory Park area is absolutely gorgeous and the Horton Plains hike was amazing!

My wife and I had a great time on the 13-day trip Rozanne and team organized for us. Sri Lanka is a beautiful country and every day had something new to see and experience. Thoroughly enjoyed the wide variety of activities, visiting temples, historical sites, safaris, village tours, fantastic views, cultural and craft demonstrations, etc. Accommodations were all top notch and our guide Roshan was excellent, very knowledgeable about all the places we visited, came up with good ideas to enhance our itinerary, introduced us to local foods on drives, rearranged daily itineraries to optimize time usage, and was a wonderful travel companion. Highly recommended!

An unforgettable trip!

Justyna and her team put together a fabulous trip that met all of our needs and wants. Our tour guide was the greatest guide bar none. He was not only incredibly knowledgable about a range of topics (culture, agriculture, history, etc.) but very personable and went above and beyond to "make all our dreams come true" while in Sri Lanka. All of our accommodations were stunning and incredibly hospitable. As someone with a gluten allergy I felt very well taken care (the guide would talk with the hotel staff upon arrival to communicate this on my behalf to ensure there was nothing lost in translation).

We could not have planned a trip such as this on our own and are very thankful to have found KimKim and to be connected with Justyna and team!
