Unforgettable Sri Lanka
My daughter and I spent 10 wonderful days with Budget Arugambay Tours on a custom tour of Sri Lanka in February and March 2020. Every stage of the tour was excellent. Planning from home was a breeze – the agents definitely took all of our requests and suggestions into consideration when finalizing our custom trip. They were even able to make several last minute adjustments to our trip – our itinerary was always flexible. We stayed in wonderful hotels and it was so easy having all of our hotel, park, entrance and activity fees included in the cost of the tour. But one of the best parts of our tour was definitely our driver Ishak. Not only an excellent driver (thank goodness – driving in Sri Lanka is very different from home), he also shared a wealth of knowledge about his lovely country. Ishak was kind, thoughtful and a lot of fun – quick to smile, laugh and super relaxed about all of our requests. We thoroughly enjoyed his company. As for stops along our way, choosing a favourite location is impossible. We really did love every location…Sri Lanka is a spectacular country and Budget Arugambay Tours and our driver Ishak were exceptional. We definitely hope to return some day.
“Awesome customer service of Budget Arugambay Tours”
We had heard about Budget Arugambay tours from one of my friends who liked their previous experience with the company.
Planning the trip was great! The tour planner worked with me to come up with an itinerary, adjusting based on my availability and what I wanted to see and do. They made this a totally stress-free vacation.
Our guide was Faina and great to work with him. We were picked up at every airport and taken to the hotels. We were picked up for every tour and deposited back at the hotels afterwards. We received an itinerary with indeed information at each day of our tour and Faina provided us a wonderful guidance until the end day of our tour. He was so knowledgeable, friendly, attractive, supportive, working on time without any delays and he gave us a great job with a smiley face.
Budget Arugambay Tours delivered exactly what was promised. The trip itself was fantastic. Everything was pre-arranged, including transportation. The car was very comfortable and we have an amazing trip with that. We have sent only the inquiry and they have customized our entire trip by identifying our requirement indeed. They always provide the best including transportation, customer service from the time that we sent an inquiry through their website until to the transferring us to the airport. They have planned our tour without wasting a second and give them maximum satisfaction by providing the hundred percent commitment of each and every one working there. The tour was of high quality and the guide was fantastic!
I have traveled so many places but I haven’t received this kind of excellent customer service from any other tour companies. So, I can verify that Budget Arugambay Tours is a first-rate company and we would like to recommend a tour with Budget Arugambay Tours in Sri Lanka.
5 Stars are not enough
We started planning our trip in Oct I contacted Budget Arugambay Tours and a few other operators. I chose Budget Arugambay Tours due to the competitive price they offered the professionalism of their quote ,nothing was too much bother. Ansa and his team are the most professional tour operator I have ever come across. We had planned our trip to watch the cricket ,however unfortunately due to the Coronavirus this was cancelled and the National Parks were closed . Ansa- Ramesh and our wonderful driver guide Faina put together an alternative plan straight away which was done within an hour. Our driver Guide Faina was absolutely superb ,polite ,pleasant ,always on time and he went that extra mile to ensure our tour was special and very knowledgeable when visiting the sites Budget Arugambay Tours arrange for a specialist guide to escort you around the sites to give you the advantage of their in depth knowledge.
As the trip continued it became clear that our tour would have to be curtailed as more and more travel restrictions were coming into place. Ansa was absolutely brilliant ,he helped alter our flights and sorted out our hotel in Colombo.
When the world is clear of this awful virus we will return to Sri Lanka to continue our trip and we will be using Budget Arugambay Tours Travel.
I have never come across a travel agency that cares so much about your enjoyment.
Faina thank you for been a wonderful driver guide and now a friend.
Ansa forever grateful for the help and assistance from you and your staff
We hope to see you all soon.
Fantastic Sri Lanka experience with Budget Arugambay Tours
We have just finished a 10 day trip to Sri Lanka, travelling from Colombo to Galle, Kandy,Arugambay and Ella and the tea country and Tangalle and had a wonderful experience with our driver Ansa. was an amazing guide, organised extra things for us including arranging train tickets for the incredibly scenic rail journey from Nuwara
to Ella.
Ansa was always on time, delivered us to all our hotels and some out of the way attractions- nothing was too much trouble, and he was a delight to share our holiday with.
We would not hesitate in recommending Budget Arugambay Tours and Ansa to other Sri Lanka travellers.
Thankyou!
