Mango Vacations Reviews 134

Incredible experience with this company. Our driver was Hansanka, and I couldn't thank him enough for making our experience amazing. He went above and beyond to ensure we had the most amazing time on holiday.

Han was much more than a driver, he was a full guide, and took us to places that we never though of visiting and it was just incredible.

Fabulous tour and Vish our guide was amazing. Great transport and hotels and we saw and did so much. I would definitely recommend Mango. Helpful staff and a really great tour.

Mango Vacations provided us with with a driver and a guide for our 1-week tour of Sri Lanka in January 2024. We had a lovely experience: Roshan helped us shaping our itinerary at best and has been always willing to accomodate our requests. We felt safe and supported throughout our stay, making our trip memorable. I would definitely recommend.

I just finished an 8 day tour with Lakee as guide and Amila as driver. I was traveling alone and both were always very friendly, took great care of me, showed me the country and its people and were always flexible and responded to my individual needs. We had a great time together and they made my vacation an unforgettable moment.
Many thanks to my singing drivers!
And many thanks also to Nadeeka for the great accommodations and the flexible organization!

We used Mango Vacations for our custom-based 13-day trip around Sri Lanka. Our drivers Thili and Pavi took a really good care of us, enabling us to enjoy the trip to the fullest! Although the first half of our trip was very packed with lots of driving and hiking, they were always ready to guide us to visit all the places that we planned or advise us when being in doubt. They even accompanied us to Pidurangala Rock to see the sunrise.

With his knowledge, Thili always helped us understand the history and the meaning of important sights and attractions, as well as questions about language, traditions, food and religion. Pavi amazed us with his incredible and safe driving capabilities, even in very trafficky and chaotic areas. They both were incredibly kind, hospitable, punctual and informative. With this we became one Sri Lankan happy traveling family. Recommended!

We had an exceptional journey with our driver Hasanka, who drove us all the way up to Jaffna and right down to Unawatuna across 10 days, with several stops. Hasanka was genuinely the highlight of our journey. We were a little bit hesitant using a driver service as we had never travelled this way, but we are so glad we did. He made every aspect of the journey so easy, adapting to weather changes, and helping us make on the fly modifications to accommodation and itinerary based on his knowledge and reccomendations. Despite a pretty jam packed schedule, we were able to have a good mix of adventure and relaxation time. My only feedback is that Mango Vacations as a whole is a little laid back with communication at the commencement of the trip, but this had no impact on our overall experience. If you are still deciding whether to get a driver, absolutely do it, and if you get Hasanka, even better!

Name of tour 'explore historical Sri lanka' but wasn't listed on the review site. (free private upgrade)
Absolutely incredible trip. Our guide Thili and driver Pavi were the loveliest, kindest people. They definitely made the trip highly enjoyable, easy and lots of fun.
We didn't have to worry about anything. If we had questions or problems they were extremely helpful and would always find a solution. They were great fun. We packed soooo much in. We were absolutely exhausted every night, but that's the sign of a brilliant trip. We cant thank them enough! They definitely became friends more than tour guides.
It was easy to keep in contact on WhatsApp on the WiFi in the hotels. In they day they always gave instructions for meeting points/times and were always prompt.
Pavi was an amazing driver. We felt so safe everywhere we went despite the crazy roads and storms.
Thili's English was amazing. He taught us so much about Sri Lanka and we could chat about anything and everything.
We saw so so much. From Historical sites, beaches, view points, safari, trains, etc list is endless.
The hotels were lovely. Some were incredible.
We just wish we could have stayed longer. A big big thankyou to Thili and Pavi. The trip wouldn't have been the same without them.

We spend a week with Lakee and Amela and it was a great one indeed!
Amela is an amazing driver and could handle all the bad roads we intended to go through and always stayed positive and had a smile on his face.
Lakee on the other hand was the man that arranged everything from the massage we suddenly wished for to spices garden we did not know it existed in the first place.
What a great week with the guys that made our holiday even more charming. For all this we are very grateful and would recommend this amazing team to everyone traveling to Sri Lanka!

We had 7 days touring with Hasanka a great calm driver so we all felt more relaxed! Nice guy, professional but friendly, engaging but didn't invade our personal space. Loads of ideas and suggestions but not pushy and very flexible. Throughly recomend him.

We were driven by Thili and Pavi from Mango Vacations for 9 days in December 2023, starting in Colombo.

Thili and Pavi looked after us so well! They were always punctual, drove very carefully, and had interesting things to say about all the places we visited. We already had our own itinerary planned, but Thili and Pavi always had a suggestion for an activity or restaurant if we were struggling. Having said that, we never felt pressured into doing something. They were very caring, they were happy to accommodate us when we made last minute changes of plan, and they were always happy to pick us up (even at 5am in the morning!)

The car was as advertised: modern, comfortable, with air-conditioning and a WiFi hot-spot. We paid in cash (half on arrival and half at the end) and everything was included (fuel, tolls, driver accommodation, driver meals). We would have liked a little more information from Mango Vacation in advance (about payment method, pick up details), but they were very responsive on WhatsApp when we arrived.

We had an amazing time on our tour. Vish our driver/guide was great, he quickly learned what we like (no early mornings and plenty of time for swims) and tailored each day accordingly, while also making sure we didn’t miss out on anything. I would definitely recommend Mango Vacations and Vish if you’re looking for a wonderful Sri Lanka experience.

We recently had the pleasure of planning and embarking on a trip to Sri Lanka, and the experience was elevated to new heights, all thanks to the exceptional guidance provided by Vishwa. Hailing from the beautiful island itself, Vish proved to be not just a guide but a true aficionado of everything Sri Lanka has to offer.
From the moment we started discussing the trip, Vishwa's passion for his homeland was evident. His wealth of knowledge about the country, its history, culture, and hidden gems was truly impressive. It felt like having a personal encyclopedia on hand, ready to unravel the mysteries and wonders of Sri Lanka at every turn.
One of the standout qualities of Vish is his ability to tailor the itinerary to perfection. He took the time to understand our preferences, interests, and travel style, crafting a bespoke journey that surpassed our expectations. Whether we were seeking historical marvels or wildlife encounters, Vish knew exactly where to take us.
Vish's commitment to ensuring a seamless travel experience was evident throughout our journey. His attention to detail, punctuality, and ability to navigate various terrains with ease made the trip not only enjoyable but also stress-free. His genuine concern for our comfort and well-being added a personal touch that is often rare to find.
Beyond being a fountain of knowledge and an impeccable planner, Vishwa's warmth and friendliness made our time in Sri Lanka truly memorable. His genuine passion for sharing the beauty of his homeland created a connection that went beyond the typical guide-tourist dynamic.
If you're planning a trip to Sri Lanka and want more than just a guide, Vishwa is the person to turn to. His expertise, personalized approach, and genuine enthusiasm for showcasing the best of Sri Lanka make him an invaluable asset to any traveler. Thanks to Vish, my journey through this mesmerizing island was not just a vacation; it was an enriching and unforgettable experience.

Hansaka is the best! Always checking on us, anticipating the needs for the activities, re arranging when necessary. A warm person that made our days even more close to Sri Lanka, from the moment he picked us in the AirPort until we made it to Mirissa, he was always on time. 100% recommendable! Without him, the trip would have not be as great as it was! :) glad to repeat the experience.

Many thanks to Vishwa. I was travelling alone and he was always friendly, gentleman, took care of me, gave good tips and was flexible. Car always clean. He drove very good and safe. He always told information about Sri Lanka and the places we visited. Vishwa made my holidays so nice and unforgettable.

We planned our 2 weeks road trip in advance, our guide/Driver Dammika was wonderful ! Very kind and professional person ! We felt very safe with him and he took us to the right places !
We had a really great time in Sri Lanka because of him !
This travel agency is very professional and clean! We highly recommend this company !
Thank you once again for this wonderful trip !

It was an amazing tour. We recommend it!
Mango Vacations provides a good communication and excellent service. The hotels and places were incredible.
Our driver and guide, Hasanka, was very kind, helpful, punctual and highly motivated. He always offer good recommendations and service.
All respect for Hasanka who did a great job; a true sample of excellent tour guide! I would highly recommend him as a professional guide.

Just on my way back from Sri Lanka. Had a wonderful time on a private tour via Tour Radar (Mango Vacations). Our guide, Vish, took us to some great places. Highly recommend you book with Vish. He is very honest, open, friendly, flexible, knowledgeable and nothing is too much trouble. He’s the best tour guide I’ve experienced anywhere. Highly recommend.

We were on a 9day trip our driver Hasanka was always on time very friendly and always giving us advice

We were lucky enough to have Nevil as our driver for two weeks of our trip in Sri Lanka. Nevil was courteous helpful, and always willing to give advice. We travelled around Negombo, Sigiriya, Trincomalee, Arugam Bay and Ella with Nevil and we had the best time. Nevil always had a smile and we had some really great conversations. Nevil taught us lots about Sri Lankan food and culture and he was always there to drive us be it sunrise or sunset.

We spent 13 days with Vishwa travelling around Sri Lanka from South to North: we did Mirissa, Yala National Park, Ella, Nuwara Elyia, Kandy, Dambulla, Sigiryia, Polonnaruwa and Trincomalee. It has been a fantastic holiday trip.

The guys at Mango Vacations were really nice, friendly and flexibile to our tour. Communication was great by email and always easy to get to the point.
Vishwa, our driver, was not just the guy that takes you around places and that's it. He definitely added a huge bonus to our vacation being almost a Sri Lanka Wikipedia page and sharing with us his experiences about places, culture and religion. He knew every aspect of his country, every secret place to stop by and most of all he was just a very good guy.
We couldn't ask for more.
