We are pleased to introduce Private Touring by Distant Journeys.<\/p>\n

Taking a private tour of Sri Lanka means you can enjoy the same meticulously-planned itinerary and personally-chosen hotels as enjoyed on our Small Group Tours, but with the added exclusivity and flexibility of having your own friendly and knowledgeable guides, your own private vehicle* and your own choice of departure date.<\/p>\n

Private Touring is ideal for any size of group of travellers. Whether your tour to Sri Lanka from the UK is one you\u2019ve always promised yourselves as a couple, or maybe it\u2019s a trip of a lifetime with family and friends, Distant Journeys Private Touring offers a surprisingly affordable, unique and intimate travel experience.<\/p>\n

Exclusivity and Convenience<\/h4>\n

The benefits of travelling on an independent tour with your own private vehicle* and guide means that you can enjoy authentic experiences and immersive encounters that are sometimes not possible with a larger group of people. If you want to spend longer admiring the cave frescoes of Dambulla, or linger over High Tea in Nuwara Eliya, the choice is yours. It\u2019s your exclusive holiday, at your pace.<\/p>\n

Exceptional Value<\/h4>\n

Enjoying the exclusivity of a Private Tour on the Very Best of Sri Lanka<\/a><\/strong> costs less than you may think. A couple can enjoy a Private Tour all to themselves from only a \u00a3395 per person<\/strong> supplement, and if you\u2019re planning to travel with a group of friends and family, the supplement starts from just \u00a395 per person<\/strong> for a group of 10 \u2013 14 people.<\/p>\n

As you would expect from a Distant Journeys touring holiday, we include return international flights from the UK on award-winning scheduled airlines, with all your on-board meals and drinks included. All your touring holiday essentials are included, such as hotel porterage for your luggage, all pre-payable airport and resort taxes, and all the entrance fees to the many incredible places and monuments you will visit.<\/p>\n

Breakfast and dinner are included each day, in addition to a lunch and high tea. Having so many meals included in the price takes away the uncertainty of where and what to eat, and you can relax knowing you\u2019re going to be able to relish lots of delicious Sri Lankan cuisine throughout your tour.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll enjoy the same carefully crafted itinerary and hand-picked hotels as enjoyed on our Small Group Tours, but with the added exclusivity and convenience of your own friendly and knowledgeable guide.<\/p>\n

Exclusive, intimate, yet surprisingly affordable – your holiday of a lifetime awaits.<\/p>\n
