Red Dot Tours

We went on a 10 night holiday to Sri Lanka. We were travelling with our 6 year old so wanted a holiday that covered and packed in as much fun and wildlife as possible! Sri Lanka offers so much to see and do and so many options! Cherylle and her team worked tirelessly to ensure they tailored the trip to meet all our requirements. Our driver Dhammy picked us up from Colombo to take us to our first destination in Yala snd his knowledge of the plants and wildlife was fantastic! My daughter had her binoculars on from day 1! We spent 2 magical nights in Yala seeing leopards, elephants, crocodiles and all the different birds and wildlife. Then on to Gal Oya to stay in the wonderful Gal Oya Lodge. What a place! Boat Safari to see the elephants and more crocodiles was great. We had our own infinity pool overlooking the jungle. Magical. Our next stop was the very special 98 Acres. This place was our favourite place with amazing views and scenery. The drive there was spectacular and then you arrive to the most fantastic hotel in the mountains. We walked up Little Adams Peak twice with our daughter as it’s super close and they have a new high ropes course there which was super fun! The train ride from Ella is a must do for anyone staying here. So much fun! We didn’t want to leave Sri Lanka and will be booking again next year. Thanks Reddot. Best holiday and new favourite country!

Planned our holiday with the lovely Samanthie. Stayed 17 nights 18 days. Stayed in Negombo. Sigiriya. Kandy. Ella. Yala. Ahangama. Galle and Colombo. Everything was organised. But things could be added or changed day depending on times. Prasanna our driver and guide was amazing. We will definitely be back. We loved the culture. Food. Wildlife is phenomenal.

Seamless planning and execution from Lahiru and team. My parents first time into Sri Lanka and surrounds and we're warmly welcomed and felt comfortable as detailed (and imagined) through the entirety of the trip, from the team greeting at the airport, amazing driver and clean, friendly and well appointed accommodations.

Our Sri Lankan adventure was absolutely amazing, and we owe a huge part of that to our fantastic guide, Ranjith Premaseela, from Red Dot Tours. As a family of three on a 9-day tour, we were looking for someone who was kind, reliable, and knowledgeable – Ranjith was all of that and more! His insight into Sri Lanka's history and culture added so much to our experience, and he never made it feel like a boring lecture. We felt completely safe with Ranjith behind the wheel, which let us soak in the beautiful scenery. He was also super flexible, suggesting awesome stops and activities that perfectly suited our interests. We loved the local guides he recommended for Lion Rock and Polonawurra – they really knew their stuff! Most importantly, Ranjith made us feel welcome and comfortable. He went out of his way to share the best of Sri Lanka with us. We can't recommend Red Dot Tours, and Ranjith Premaseela specifically, highly enough. If you're planning a Sri Lankan trip, he's your guy!

Had an absolutely amazing time exploring Sri Lanka, and the whole trip was seamlessly organized by Red Dot. Our main contact, Dulmini, did a stellar job. All the arrangements were spot-on, and her recommendations for hotels were nothing short of fantastic. While the booking process was smooth, a bit more communication before the trip would have been the cherry on top. Once we landed in Sri Lanka, the Red Dot team welcomed us with professionalism all the way. They introduced us to our driver and tour guide, Athula, who turned out to be a gem. Athula wasn't just a guide; he was a walking encyclopedia on Sri Lanka's culture, history, and nature. His insights added a whole new dimension to our stay, creating memories that will stick with us forever. Athula went above and beyond, delivering experiences that we'll be talking about for years. His deep understanding of the island, its people, and its wildlife made our journey incredibly rich. We soaked up every bit of knowledge he shared about Sri Lanka, its inhabitants, and its diverse wildlife. For us, Athula wasn't just a tour guide; he was the magic behind our unforgettable trip. We wholeheartedly recommend Red Dot Tours, especially if you get the chance to have Athula as your guide. Trust me, booking with this dynamic duo will make your Sri Lanka adventure something truly special.

We recently returned from a last-minute trip to Sri Lanka, with a tour and hotels organized by Red Dot. From our first contact by WhatsApp/email through to arrival and the whole time that we were there they have been excellent! All communication with Dulmini in the office whilst planning our trip was very slick, she was very good at planning an itinerary with our limited time, suggesting and adapting to what we wanted and organizing hotels. We particularly enjoyed the tuk tuk tour of Galle Fort. On arrival, we were really well looked after by our guide/chauffeur Bandula who I cannot recommend highly enough! He was very thoughtful and flexible, going far above and beyond to ensure that we maximized our time there and taking us to visit some amazing sites and fit in a safari! Nothing was too much of a problem and he is a credit to the company. Thank you for an excellent experience, it was sadly too short and we will definitely be coming back to explore more of Sri Lanka soon with Red Dot! In the meantime we totally recommend Red Dot to anyone planning a tour of Sri Lanka, it is an amazing country. Thank you!

Bernard was our chauffeur during a two week visit to Sri Lanka, and was an excellent driver and tour guide during on what was our first visit to the country. Bernard was friendly, polite, extremely knowledgeable and full of interesting stories and facts about the many areas we visited and we always felt safe in his very capable hands. The car was fully air-conditioned and Bernard always had everything we needed in the car, including an emergency sarong for temple visits and a bottle of water to cool down after being out in the heat. I can highly recommend Red Dot tours based on our positive experience with Bernard.

We needed a van and a driver for part of a visit to Sri Lanka where we had quite variable plans and needed significant flexibility. Dulmini from Red Dot organised an excellent driver (Udesh) to take us around in a Toyota KDH van. The process was straightforward and transparent. Highly recommended.
