Indian Subcontinent Traveller Reviews - On The Go Tours

A fantastic tour of the island. Our guide for the north (Ashoke) was wonderful giving us a real insight into the Tamil culture. ”  

A very good tour with a great group of people from UK, Aus, NZ and S Africa. A few long journeys but these were broken up by our guide’s explanations of the culture, heritage, wild life and the geography of Sri Lanka. Our guide looked after us all well and had excellent communication. We knew what the timings were and what sights we would be seeing. He ensured an ill guest got medical treatment. He was discrete, professional and kind. Our guide also had a great sense of humour too and understood his country well. Manoj was a great ambassador for On The Go Tours. We loved Sri Lanka especially the food and visiting a village to share lunch. Seeing elephants in the wild and climbing Sigiriya Rock were also highlights.”  

The overall tour was great - I would have preferred not to spend as much time in the tourist-trap type places where they showed us how they made rugs, textiles, etc. Maybe 1 or 2 visits throughout the week, rather than 1 or 2 each day. The accommodations in New Delhi were not great (smelled a bit like smoke, very small), but the Jaipur and Agra hotels were amazing. I would have loved to do more walking around markets and seeing more cultural sites with dances, music, food, etc. rather than all artisans. The tour guides were all lovely, especially Sanjeev and our driver, Paramjeet was terrific. ”
