Took this awesome tour with this company while on a business trip in Sri Lanka. Our guide for central highlands trip told us lots of history about these magical places we visited. It was nice warm weather which made us more enjoyable. The highlight was climbing to the top on Horton plains where the view was thrilling. They told us stories on top of the hill and the vibes with great. This tour was awesome and excellent value for money ??.
