Ample Tours Reviews 

Initially we contacted Ample Tours for train tickets for Nanu Oya to Ella as they had a good reputation for finding difficult to obtain train bookings. At that time we hadn't started to arrange a full time driver and car for our 10 day trip but after accepting an offer from Ample Tours we were all painlessly setup with both starting with Suresh picking us up at Colombo airport after midnight and quickly taking us to our Colombo hotel..
For background, I have worked for the same Japanese construction company for the last 17 years across five Asian countries. One of their company rules is that no employee is allowed to drive any vehicles, so they assign a driver to each senior staff member. As a result, I have extensive experience with drivers, driving styles, and assistance during this time.
In all respects, Suresh exceeded my experience in all my previous years, including safe driving, driving style, and assistance and guidance throughout the trip.
I can outline many more details, but it's sufficient to say that Suresh’s service and assistance made the trip special. We were continuously assisted throughout with recommendations for places to visit, restaurants, cafes, etc., and the best areas to shop. It is an understatement to say that trying to co-ordinate and organise a party of seven, with ages from 72 to 11, into a vehicle at the same time without leaving something behind is not an easy task!
Suresh helped us finalise and book all the trip items we hadn’t yet sorted.
Any customer following in our footsteps will be very fortunate to find that Suresh is available to guide them through Sri Lanka. If he is not fully booked in the coming months, he will inevitably be, given his expert, natural skills.

Ample Tours have been incredibly helpful in booking our train travel for an upcoming trip to Sri Lanka. For various reasons there have been complications, but Ruween has been great at keeping us informed throughout the process and advising on alternative options where necessary. I would definitely recommend them for your Sri Lanka travel needs!

We did the Kandy-Ella route. The service is reasonable for the price. Super friendly staff. Very punctual, they delivered our tickets on the promised date. Highly recommend service for train ticket arrangements in Sri Lanka.

Although the weather didn't cooperate with us on our trip, our tour guide Sadun made it an awesome experience. We had a pleasurable time and learnt a lot about the central and southern parts of Sri Lanka. Sadun is funny, very knowledgeable and very passionate about his country. He really went out of his way to help us get the most out of the experience despite the rainy weather in that period. We did manage to see all the places scheduled by Sewwandi, who was our tour planner. She made sure we included all the must visit attractions in Sri Lanka. Thanks Sewwandi for your knowledge and kindness. Highly recommended company!

I spent twelve days with Ample Tours in Sri Lanka and it was just perfect trip! Dealing with Akila and his fellows was such a pleasure. This team knows what they are doing and is very competent at understanding what customers need. Unlike other companies I dealt with, Akila didn't push me to do the things or didn't try to sell the trips he wanted. Instead, he always asked about my expectations and suggested the activities accordingly. I always had the freedom to decide what to select or not. He was very quick to respond to my emails, always gave me a reply within an hour.
My guide, Sandun has been great. He was a joy to be around. Always at hand for anything we needed. Even about the little things, he was always aware of that and did his best to ensure we were happy and comfortable. I've learnt so much about Sri Lanka, the people, culture, festivals and foods. He made great recommendations for local food restaurants as we were very open to try various Sri Lankan cousins.
I would not hesitate to recommend Akila, Sandun and Ample Tours to anyone visiting Sri Lanka. Looking forward to visiting Vietnam with Ample Tours maybe next year. See you soon!

I used Ample Tours' train ticket booking service for my 3 train rides in Sri Lanka. Service is great for tourists and the added benefit of a peaceful, inexpensive, easy delivery service. As I heard, getting a ticket is not easy for some highly demanded routes. But this company has made everything very smooth, and they managed to reserve all the 3 train tickets. Ticket collection is also very easy as they deliver everything to our hotel on a promised day. Highly recommended.

From the moment I contacted Akila at Ample Tours, I knew I was going to have a wonderful tour. Every piece of our tour was planned to perfection and narrated exquisitely by Akila and his team. We will remember this tour forever because of the special touches which Akila arranged. One wonderful memory was our time at Amba Estate in Ella.
Our tour guide, Sadun, made the trip relaxing and fun. Whatever we wanted to do, he made sure it happened. His knowledge of the country was impressive, he was highly knowledgeable about every activity we did, and his friendly, accommodating personality was a bonus. For us, we started a tour with a guide named Sadun. Two weeks later, Sadun was like a member of our family.
I cannot say enough about what a wonderful tour I had with Ample Tours!

Fantastic tour from start to finish. From the moment we landed in the country, the guide Danushka made the whole experience for us a lot of fun and knowledge. Danushka was great at sharing his extended knowledge of all about Sri Lanka's history, foods, culture, rural life past and present. He is polite, kind, knowledgeable and funny as can be. Gotta love it. His car was spacious. We booked a vehicle with a driver and two safaris with this company. Booking was easy and quick, emailing them would be enough before the arrival. Highly recommend Ample Tours, the best way to get so much out of a tour
