点评:We came across lots of reviews for Tony's Tours when planning our holiday to Sri Lanka. There were lots of positive reviews about the tours offered and the service of the guides / drivers. As first time visitors we wanted to make the most of our holiday and see lots of things.
We contacted Tony via e-mail and asked for a list of tours with prices that were offered. A prompt response was received which gave a full breakdown of the tours offered, the pick up time and what was included. Prices were in pounds for our party of two.
We booked the Galle day trip, Udawalawa & Ella 2 Day Tour and a visit to the Kandeviharaya Temple.
Confirmation of the tours and the days we wanted to go was provided. We were asked to pay no money up front. Payment was made in sterling upon completion of the tours.
Upon arrival in resort we made contact again to advise we had arrived and re-confirmed the pick up time for our first tour.
We were met in the hotel reception by Thakshila who was our guide for the Galle trip and the two day tour. On each occasion we had a private tour undertaken in a clean, air conditioned car. The drivers were great. Thakshila was fantastic. He imparted his knowledge to us and took the time to show us many things during our tours. He took us to some lovely restaurants for our meals and made sure that we were happy with everything. He was very caring and really looked after us making sure that we didn't miss any photo opportunities. He answered our questions and generally couldn't do enough to make sure we were having a great time and enjoying the hospitality of Sri Lanka.
We thoroughly enjoyed the highlights of our trips which included a visit to a turtle hatchery, nine arch bridge, scenic train ride, waterfalls, tea plantations, elephant orphanage, the location of the Good Karma Hospital, the stilt fisherman, Galle Fort, Tsunami Memorial Statue, a river safari, a jeep safari in a national park. Whilst staying overnight in Ella we upgraded to the Hotel OnRock which was a small boutique hotel with great views.
When we went to the Kandeviharaya Temple our guide was Big Tony. Tony brought flowers for us to give to the Buddah and gave us a very interesting tour at the temple. Afterwards we called in Benota and went souvenir shopping for gifts and spices.
We are more than happy to recommend to other travellers the services of Tony, Thakshila and their drivers. We felt that the tours offered good value for money and were cheaper than using Tui. Also the tours offered some little extras not included in Tui's tours which was a bonus.
Everything quoted within the original e-mail received was included (including toll charges, entrance fees etc). We only paid for meals and tips.
We booked our tours well in advance of our arrival in resort in order to secure the dates that we wanted. Talking with Thakshila this enabled him to easily secure our hotel booking and train tickets. Ella is really busy so hotels and the train get booked up fast.
We will return to Sri Lanka again as there are still a number of things we want to see. We would have no hesitation in booking further trips via Tony's Tours and are happy to recommend them to provide a bespoke service. Nothing is too much trouble and they work with you to deliver exactly what you want from a tour.
Thank you Tony, Thakshila and drivers for helping us create memories that will last a life time.

翻译:在计划斯里兰卡假期时,我们遇到了许多关于 Tony's Tours 的评论。关于提供的旅游和导游/司机的服务有很多正面评价。作为首次游客,我们希望充分利用假期并参观更多景点。
我们通过电子邮件联系了 Tony,并要求提供一份旅游清单和价格。他们迅速回复,详细说明了提供的旅游、接送时间和包含的内容。价格以英镑计算,我们两人同行。
我们预订了加勒一日游、Udawalawa 和 Ella 2 日游以及参观 Kandeviharaya 寺庙。
他们提供了旅游和我们想去的日期的确认。我们被要求不预付任何费用。旅游结束后以英镑付款。
抵达度假村后,我们再次联系他们,告知我们已经到达,并重新确认了我们第一次旅游的接送时间。
Thakshila 在酒店接待处迎接了我们,他是我们加勒之旅和两日游的导游。每次我们都乘坐干净的空调车进行私人游览。司机很棒。Thakshila 非常棒。他向我们传授知识,并在游览期间花时间向我们展示许多东西。他带我们去一些可爱的餐厅吃饭,确保我们对一切都感到满意。他非常关心我们,真的照顾我们,确保我们不会错过任何拍照机会。他回答了我们的问题,总的来说,他竭尽全力确保我们玩得开心,享受斯里兰卡的热情好客。
我们非常享受旅行中的亮点,包括参观海龟孵化场、九拱桥、风景优美的火车之旅、瀑布、茶园、大象孤儿院、善缘医院所在地、高跷渔夫、加勒堡、海啸纪念雕像、河流之旅、国家公园的吉普车之旅。在埃拉过夜期间,我们升级到了 Hotel OnRock,这是一家小型精品酒店,景色优美。
我们去 Kandeviharaya 寺庙时,我们的导游是 Big Tony。Tony 为我们带来了献给佛像的鲜花,并带我们参观了寺庙,非常有趣。之后,我们拜访了 Benota,去购买纪念品和香料。
我们非常乐意向其他旅行者推荐 Tony、Thakshila 及其司机的服务。我们觉得这些旅行团物有所值,比使用 Tui 便宜。此外,这些旅行团还提供了一些 Tui 旅行团未包含的小额外服务,这是一个额外的福利。
收到的原始电子邮件中引用的所有内容都包含在内(包括过路费、入场费等)。我们只支付了餐费和小费。
我们在抵达度假村之前就预订了旅行团,以确保我们想要的日期。与 Thakshila 交谈后,他轻松确保了我们的酒店预订和火车票。埃拉非常繁忙,所以酒店和火车票很快就被订满了。
我们会再次回到斯里兰卡,因为还有很多我们想看的东西。我们会毫不犹豫地通过 Tony's Tours 预订更多行程,并很乐意推荐他们提供定制服务。没有什么是太麻烦的,他们会与您合作,为您提供您想要的旅行。
感谢 Tony、Thakshila 和司机帮助我们创造一生难忘的回忆。
