Tour reviewsWendy Wu Tours Review:"What a surprise the little island of Sri Lanka was. On every road we travelled the scenery was magnificent, mountains, hills, deep valleys, gorges, jungle, tea plantations, waterfalls, vegetable gardens, little villages, everywhere was so green. Our Guide Mr Wimal was full of information and easy to talk to. Our driver Opal had a few hard days on less than perfect roads and did a mighty job, always cheerful. Sri Lankan people are so friendly. Our hotels were first class and the food was superb, especially the pineapple and paw paw at each meal, and the desserts were a trap, each had to be sampled. We thoroughly enjoyed every minute of the tour." Joan & William Howland, Queensland - April 2011 Wendy Wu Tours Review:"It was a great tour. We love the all-inclusive; makes it so much easier. Itineraries, written information and brochures all excellent information. We will recommend your Company. thank you!" Christine and Robert - September 2012 Price guide
