Thanks to Janith, helping us through Sri Lanka s great fauna, politics, economy, history and food culture +++, we are experiencing this great country for the first time. The sites, the hotels, the people is such a great experience. Janith and his car is taking us through and his flexibility and skills serves us very well. Thanks Janith, Rediscover and Stjernegaard.

We had two wonderful weeks in Sri Lanka with Rediscover Journeys. From the planning stage to our arrival and departure, everything worked perfectly and was very well organized. It was a very varied trip and Rasith and his team did a great job. Our driver and guide Janith drove us safely from A to B. He was a very good driver, attentive, careful, and reliable. He told us lots of interesting things about the culture, attractions, country, and people. We can highly recommend Rediscover Journeys with Rasith and his team. Janith was great and we would do it again in a heartbeat. Thank you so much for everything. Best regards from Switzerland.

Sense of Travel Schweiz hat uns eine massgeschneiderte 20-tägige Rundreise zusammengestellt. Wir reisten als Siebenköpfige Familie (8-79J). Durch die lokale Vertretung Rediscover Journeys wurde alles perfekt organisiert. Unser Reiseleiter Sunil Nishshanka, Fahrer Anushka und das lokale Reisebüro haben sich stets um unser wohl gekümmert und all unsere Wünsche erfüllt. Das Programm war sehr abwechslungsreich und auf unsere Wünsche abgestimmt, und alle Unterkünfte sehr schön. Dank Rediscover Journeys durften wir die Herzlichkeit und Gastfreundschaft Sri Lankas auf wunderbare Art kennenlernen. Herzlichen Dank für diese unvergessliche Reise.

We have had the pleasure of two weeks in Sri Lanka organized by Stjernegaard travels and Rediscover travels.

We visited Kandy, Ella, Trincomelee and Sigiriya.

Our local driver Tissa Athukorala fromRediscover travels was a pleasure be with. He proved to be so much more than driver:
-Guide taking the long walks with us to mountaintops
-Helping when dealing with locals; money exchange, tickets, hotel check-in, hospital (we had a small accident)
- “Bodyguard” when around annoying salesmen and beggars
-Knowing where to go when we had special requests.

We can recommend Sri Lanka and the places we visited, and Stjernegaard travels, Rediscover travels and especially Tissa Athukorala (Tissa is a “rockstar” at his craft!)

Modi was a great guide! He narrated every aspect of his country with enthusiasm, joy and a big smile always on his face!

We had a great trip in Sri Lanka with our guide, Moditha. He was kind, knowledgeable, and easy to travel with, and we learned a lot from him along the way. He was also flexible with our plans, which we really appreciated, and always made sure we were comfortable.

Sri Lanka is a beautiful country, and having Modi as our guide ( and our friend! ) made exploring it even better.

A very professional company with a high level of service. Our guide Thilina is both a driver and a good guide about attractions in Sri Lanka. We will give best recommendations about this company.

The Guide was amazing, he did an amazing job explaining us all the natural and historical curiosity, answering with a smile at alla the question I asked him. I didn't give 5 stars only because the driver of the bus was absolutely not good.

The experience is exceptional, the tour is well arranged, Sri Lanka is an amazing place, all sites visited with limited time, we observed the nature wonders, temples, historical sites, safari, botanical gardens, herb, sea turtles... Indika and Rediscover Journeys team are super nice, professional and thoughtful.

A great combination of things to do and different sort of adventures.
Gehan was a great guide. Always happy, knew a lot about the land, people, activities and animals.
We tried so many different foods with him and things we would have never have done or found without him.
He was also a very cautious driver and felt safe at all times.
Have to say that the experience at Treetops was definitely a highlight. The safari organised by them was also great. Would certainly recommend Rediscover Journeys as a tour provider.

Gehan from Rediscover Journeys was a tremendous driver, but more than that he became a true friend. Not only was he a skilful driver through the traffic mayhem but he stopped and bought food and drink items important in Sri Lanka in many roadside shops. Very early on he was used to our humour and was at ease with us at all times. As you can read we were very impressed with him throughout the tour and I would rate him very highly and recommend him to anyone. Well done, Gehan

Rediscover together with Meraki Travel Switzerland put together a journey with lot variety and a lot of things to experience. Sri Lanka truly is a very beautiful island and country and our private driver Manoj showed us many interesting places and could even add more interesting background with his huge knowledge. He's very customer-oriented and super friendly, can recommend him any time!

We had the pleasure of traveling around Sri Lanka for 14 days with Waruna as our driver, and it has been an absolutely amazing experience from beginning to end.

Not only did he ensure that we traveled safely and comfortably, but he also acted as a fantastic guide throughout the journey. He shared interesting insights about the cities, landmarks, and the rich history of Sri Lanka in a way that made the trip even more meaningful.

Whenever we had specific wishes – whether it was going river rafting or finding a particular type of shop – he always managed to find something that perfectly matched what we were looking for. He was accommodating, flexible, and genuinely committed to making sure we had the best possible experience.

We give him our warmest recommendations and are truly grateful for the knowledge, care, and memorable moments he added to our trip.

Wir durften 20 Tage Sri Lanka mit allen Facetten kennenlernen. Möglich gemacht hat dies das Schweizer Reisebüro Sense of Travel zusammen mit dem lokalen Reisebüro Rediscover Sri Lanka und unserem erfahrenen und sehr freundlichen Guide Silva Chaminda. Wir fühlten uns jederzeit gut aufgehoben und haben sehr viel über Land und Leute kennengelernt. Dank sehr abwechslungsreichen und speziellen Erfahrungen (Kochen bei einem Bauern, tägliches Probieren von neuen Früchten, Dschungeltrekking etc.) konnten wir Sri Lanka hautnah erleben. Herzlichen Dank für die tolle Organisation. Gerne wieder!

We have had a wonderful and well planned vacation in Sri Lanka everything worked perfectly. Especially our chauffeur and guide Sasanka made our experience even better. He was flexible and came with good ideas of other things to do when asked. We saw a lot of things and tasted a lot of different food, that we would not have done without his help. Always water, snacks and fruit on the trips🤩

Uzima Travel hat unsere Bedürfnisse gut verstanden und aufgenommen und dann in Zusammenrarbeit mit dem Reiseveranstalter Rediscover Sri Lanka eine tolle Reiseroute für unsere Familie zusammengestellt. Während unserer Reise wurden wir von unserem Fahrer Laleen begleitet, welcher ebenso zu dieser rundum perfekten Reise beigetragen hat. Während der Reise haben wir spontan gewünscht, die Route etwas anzupassen.
Dank der schnellen Reaktion von allen war das möglich und das hat das ganze Erlebnis nochmals eine andere Dimension verliehen. DANKE.

A huge thank you to Stjernegaard – Rediscover Journeys for a fantastic trip to the amazing Sri Lanka (Sigiriya, Kandy, Ella, and Galle). A special thanks to our driver and guide, Jagath Fernando, who was exceptional in every way – highly skilled as both guide and driver, incredibly kind, and who truly ensured we had an unforgettable and wonderful holiday (7-15 July 2025).

Lovely og likeable Indika made a brilliant impression on us (3 adults). He arranged fx a school visit in sigiriya and it was lovely. He was there when we needed ham and never missed an appointment. We stayed in great hotels and we especially liked the silent east coast and Hatton with great the-plantations. He arranged a great trip where we saw a local town in one of the plantations. We went to Pigeon Island and the fantastic Karpaha Sands❤️ The traffic in SL is horrible but not Indikas fault 😉 I will happily recommend Indika and the team behind him.

We traveled Sri Lanka for two weeks with Waruna as our guide. He is a great person with a big smile and warm personality, always eager to do his best. He knew a lot about both the history, religion, plants, animals etc. and would gladly explain.

When we were looking for a specific souvenir, but couldn’t find it, he even got his wife to help us find it, making sure that we were always happy.

We give our biggest recommendations to Rediscover Journeys and Waruna.

We travelled in Sri Lanka for 2 weeks and experienced the beautiful nature and culture in the country. The program was well planned but also with flexibility to include new unplanned activities.
Our guide Samath was incredible helpful and friendly. He offered a fantastic service and organized everything for us. Next time we travel to Sri Lanka we will for sure ask for Samath to join us again as our guide.
