I have pondered for some time if to post this review but as I got Sammys name and the recommendation from Trip advisor i feel I must share my experience. I got an initial plan and costing from Sammy the details were a bit sketchy and the hotels not all to my choice but as he has rave reviews went... More

After hearing so much about Sammy tours I decided to use him to organise my tour to Sri Lanka for a week in May. As noted by the other reviewers Sammy (Saman) 's written English was bad such that it was difficult to plan the itinerary . Reviewers who wish to use him will need to go through this ordeal.We...

I travelled with my partner around Sri Lanka through Sammy. Our driver and Sammy were both great, always happy to stop whenever asked, and also showing us things that you certainly would not get to see on a large group tour. All the recommended hotels were great, although I would make the effort to check them out online before committing... More

We booked an 8 day tour with Sammy's Tours based on the rave reviews his business has received on here...and what a great tour it was! We contacted Sammy via email and with lots of chopping and changing over the course of a couple of weeks, we had a tour we were happy with. A couple of days before we... More

My partner and I were slightly apprehensive, having never been to Sri Lanka before, however, we needn't have worried! Our driver was Jayantha, a very friendly, capable and professional tour guide who made sure we were always happy. Although there was a lot of driving (this is normal for sri lanka, and if you want to get around the island... More

Like many of the reviewer here we chose sammy because of the exceptional reviews. Sammy's tour came for us at the end of a 3 month round the world trip and had a lot to live up to. It was a highlight of the trip. Sammy's Cousin Shelley met us at the airport as arranged. The 5 day tour went... More

We have just returned from a fantasic tour of Sri Lanka arranged by Sammy. Our guide was Jaye and driver Sura. Some of the tour companies only use a driver, don't use these as the driver has to spend all of his time concentrating on the road!!! Average speed is probably 20 mph so don't expect to go anywhere fast.... More

We visied Sri Lanka for 9 days; part of which was travelling around with Sammy and Anand followed by five days stay at a beech resort in a lovely hotel in Bentota. We would absolutely recommend Sammy's Tours and felt that we were in safe hands and nothing was too much trouble for Sammy. He was always happy to help... More

I chose Sammy Tours because of the gret reviews on here and I would definitely say that he lived up to my expectations. I was a little anxious before my trip because his emails are a little thin on content but ther was no need to worry. We started out by telling him how many days we had to do... More
