Enchanting Salon delivered an exceptional experience from start to finish. The attention to detail was outstanding, and the hotels included in the package Ruvinda put together for us were excellent - each one thoughtfully chosen and perfectly aligned with the experience. Everything felt seamless and well curated. We can’t wait to come back, and I’ll absolutely be recommending Ruvi to everyone planning a trip.

From start to finish the customer service I received from Enchanting Ceylon was exceptional. When planning our trip to Sri Lanka they provided their expert advice and happily accommodated any changes we requested. Our driver Shadrac was incredible and went above and beyond to ensure we had the holiday of a lifetime. I can’t recommend the company enough!

We could not be any happier with the personalised service we received. Sam with her excellent communications and Shadrach the driver with his professionalism, punctuality, extremely pleasant attitude, more to the fact with his excellent safe driving skills & knowledge to ensure our safety during a very difficult time in Sri Lanka straight after the Cyclone Ditwah. Sam managed to reschedule our original plans at a short notice and we had a very enjoyable time. I would highly recommend Enchanting Ceylon Gateways for anyone visiting Sri Lanka. Thank you Ruvinda & the team. 👍🏼

We had a really great experience with this Sri Lankan tour company and honestly enjoyed our trip a lot. Even though there was flooding in Sri Lanka before our trip (which was totally not their fault), they quickly changed our plans so we could still make the most out of our days. We stayed in Mirissa, Ella, and Dambulla, and everything was handled smoothly. They were super flexible, helpful, and always trying their best to make sure we had a good time. As a very kind gesture, they even treated us to a free dinner, which was a really nice surprise. Overall, it was an awesome trip and we felt well taken care of from start to finish. I’d definitely recommend this company to anyone traveling to Sri Lanka.

It was a fantastic experience and holiday across Srilanka planned for us by Enchanting Ceylon Getaways. Was our first visit to Srilanka as a family and we are definitely coming back soon. Such a clean and friendly country and its a shame i hadn't visited Srilanka earlier. However it was overall a fantastic experience all because of Jerusha from Enchanting Ceylon Getaways. I just left it her and she did all the planning and coordination and didn't leave us any room to complain about anything! Everything was planned to the dot and even the driver and guide she assigned to us as, was a gem of person, Mr. Nilanga🙌🏻 The hotels stays across, Dambula, Passikuda and Colombo was just the best! Whale watching and snorkeling at Trincomalee was just mind-blowing and out of this world! All in all a big high-five and thumbs up to Jerusha and her team! Thank you so much for making our travel, an experience we will never forget! 🙏🏻🙏🏻

We had a fabulous experience in Sri Lanka, thanks to Ruvinda and Viren. From the initial chats to establish our likes/dislikes and places that we wanted to see, to the final evening being dropped off at the airport Enchanting Ceylon supported us for our three weeks in the country. Everything ran smoothly, we had the best time and would recommend anyone looking for a tour of Sri Lanka to contact Ruvinda and Viren at Enchanting Ceylon.

5 Star service. 5 Star holiday. Ruvi is a wonderful host to Sri Lanka and hooks you up with the best professional locals and hotspots. We gave him a little idea about who we are and what we like and he and his Team at Enchanting Ceylon set up a great program and even adjusted it to our wishes. They organized and booked our whole trip. quick and easy. We really felt in good hands as he also checked back on us personally along our trip. Thank you! Pls say Hi to Ravi, our excellent driver, and your family from us. Cheers Martin & Ludwig.

Ruvinda Bernard truly created memories that I will never forget. He and Tania were extremely accommodating, they really try to accommodate based on your interests. He tailored the trip specifically to me and was extremely flexible if I wanted to make adjustments throughout the process. Ruvinda is very patient and is extremely well connected. They really know the country inside and out and have all the right connections to make the most memorable vacation. If you're thinking about going to Sri Lanka, GO!!! And go with Enchanting Ceylon if you want the trip of a lifetime. I'm so lucky that I have these amazing memories❤
