What our Explorers have to say about us

"We had an amazing vacation in Sri Lanka, with Chandi as our personal guide throughout. Chandi was very courteous and well informed on not just the history of the island, but also really interesting facts, which he shared with us. He even joined our crew on the white water rafting! Great fun and lots of laughter.... we'd love to visit again."

"Earlier this month we spent 11 days in Sri Lanka on our own private tour arranged through Ranfer Travels. It was definitely the easiest way to do things, as Mr Chandana arranged everything for us before the trip, from itinerary to accommodation and transport. Our guide for the whole trip was Mr Udesh, who was so knowledgeable about everything in Sri Lanka. This includes the ancient history, the culture, the religion, agriculture, foods, sports - everything! He was more than happy to share his knowledge with us, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the trip. We crammed a lot into our trip, and it simply wouldn't have been possible to do or see as much, if it wasn't for the help of Ranfer travels. So if you're thinking of doing a tour in Sri Lanka, I would really recommend speaking to Ranfer Travels!. "

"We recently had an 8 night stay with friends and were Ranfer travels cam as a recommendation to us. Their service was really amazing and Chadana and his team took really good care of us throughout the trip, always checking in on the trip and how we were doing. One of our travelling party had a birthday during the trip and they went out of the way to organise cakes and champagne. Would highly recommend Ranfer, Chadana and his team!! Thank you for an amazing trip!!! And the lifetime of memories"
