Olanka travel agency is a trustworthy and reputable company I have ever come across. The staff Shanika brilliantly tailored my 6 days short adventure in Sri Lanka from Negombo to Kandy and finally to Nuwara Eliya in a perfect timing with knowledgeable tour guide. Nevertheless, I had some reservations of their promises early but later realised that all are fulfilled in a cleverly crafted itinerary plan perfect to suit my tour experience needed to understand their culture and traditions. Being a first trip with more I covered in effective 5 days of stay, that certainly will set me more days to cover the other parts of Sri Lanka through Olanka travels in future. Nevertheless, I am a very apprehensive and critical person, but their untiring and meticulous effort in crafting itinerary left me speechless. Anyone plan to travel to Sri Lanka can contact Olanka and look for the pleasant and dedicated staff Shanika. Leave the plans to the expert and they will craft the best for you.

Olanka put together a tailored 14 day tour for us providing a great driver/guide and booking the hotels, all done by email & WhatsApp from the UK.
Best holiday we have since our honeymoon 20 years ago.
They randomly add extra 'fees' when you go to check out with them, update policies on the fly, and if there are issues with the tour they straight up lie about what is happening. Avoid them.
You can trust them what they say they deliver. Thanks team Olanka Travels. Cab was quite comfortable. Thanks to Thanuja lakshitha (Cab guy) who shows us around and help us to understand local language also.
Orlanka travel is the best ,we had the best experience ths driver (tarangue) was allways helpful and smiling.
We have to thank mr.Dino the manager was on contact always with us through the whole trip
Big thanks for the best trip
Olanka travels were amazing! They helped us plan our trip to Sri Lanka from A to Z. They customized the itinerary based on our preference, and provided us with a car and driver (Tarangue) for the whole trip. The driver was very helpful and smiley all through the trip!
I would definitely work and recommend Olanka Travels because they were very professional, helpful and friendly.
We took a tour around Sri Lanka arranged by Olanka travels all the bookings were done as we wanted and even better the driver was super nice and helpful in every way.
We recently spent the festive season in Sri Lanka and Olanka Travels helped with our accommodations and sightseeing..
We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and created beautiful memories. They were always on hand if I had any queries.
If u are planning a trip to Sri Lanka, try Olanka Travels, u won't be disappointed.
We were selected olanka travels to organize our Dubai trip after hearing a few comments from my friends.. I think it was worth selecting them..thanks prasanth for your all support beginning to end..we were spent memorable time in dubai...
I recently planned my first Dubai trip with Olanka Travels, and I can't express enough gratitude for the outstanding service provided by Mr. Janul Peiris. From the initial planning stages to the actual tour, Mr. Peiris offered unparalleled support and consultation, ensuring every detail of our trip was meticulously arranged.
During the tour itself, Mr. Peiris consistently checked in to ensure we were having a great time, exemplifying a genuine commitment to customer satisfaction. Choosing Olanka Travels proved to be a fantastic decision, and I'm delighted with the seamless experience they provided.
I wholeheartedly recommend Olanka Travels to others and eagerly look forward to joining them again for our next adventure, with a special shoutout to Mr. Janul Peiris for his exceptional service. Thank you, Olanka Travels and Janul, for making our Dubai trip truly memorable.
Very good support from Dino for building the tour assistance well as assistance before departure.
Fully met our expectations.
I recommand Olanka and Dino
After more than 3 months seeking a refund I was told it won't happen in spite of the stated refund policy. Obviously this is a shoddy organisation with equally shoddy business practices. Would suggest any future customer look to an alternative company that upholds their claims. Try Wendy Wu Tours for an honest, reasonably priced and inclusive experience
Ishani Wijesinghe from Olanka travels arranged our trip to the Maldives and God it was an amazing lifetime experience..we will never forget this trip..Ishani went above and beyond to nail every single detail, highly recommend working with her on your trips! Thank you Ishani for your dedication, it was a mind-blowing trip!
We booked a 12-day journey with an outstanding guide. However, the hotel choices, despite being rated 4 and 5 stars, were underwhelming. On the first night, Olanka Travels failed to confirm our accommodation, leaving us stranded at 3 am. While the situation was eventually resolved by the hotel, it came with difficulties. Subsequent hotels boasted prime locations, but some had cleanliness issues, unpleasant odors, or lacked hot water. Additionally, the trip details implied many inclusions, which weren't the case. The online payment fee was exorbitantly high at $170.
We love the country and will definitely return, but not with Olanka.
Have been waiting 3 months for the the return of our refund. No communication as Dilini Dayawansa refuses to respond to our concerns/questions. This refund failure is in complete contrast to the posted refund policy. Obviously not a genuine business and certainly not one with which to have any dealings. Now into October and still no communication from this company. Seriously doubt their honesty and business integrity.
Sanjana has been very supportive. Loved the trip... Highly recommended
My review goes solely to Prashantan, this man has come through twice already In different countries.
His organizational skills, and patience exceed expectations
His follow up with your safety and happiness is truly wonderful
Thank you Prashantan for accommodating and putting up with my continuous nonsense 🥺🥲
I planned a trip and was literally harassed to pay a deposit, however I fell ill and was unable to travel. My deposit was somehow forfeited and the company refuses to contact me. I wouldn’t use a company that steals in this way!
Dear Olanka team,thank you very much for creating a great and fabulous experience..much more thanks to Sahan ,always walked an extra mile to provide us the comfort at a foreign nation...will surely look forward for your services in future and recommend to friends too....just to mention Nihal was a super safe escort we had during our trip..
Prasanthan from olanka travels had done very good tour planning and execution. It was a very comfortable tour and driver keeth was quite a knowledgeable guide.
thanks for your support.
