Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We had a great journey to Sigiriya, Dambulla, Trincomalee and Anuradhapura. What a wonderful experience. The rock fortress was crowded due to the
holidays but it was very much worth to spend the time there and witnessing the great creations. The temple in Dambulla caves is very inspiring also a
very good experience. Trincomalee is a great place which is situated in srilanka. Its a most beautiful place which i have visited. Sea foods in Trincomalee
are awesome. Can take lots of beautiful photographs. Anuradhapura Aukana buddha statue very calm place even there are people around you. The 12m high standing
buddha statue which carved out of granite rock is a must seen iconic place.
We had a wonderful experience with Overa Tours, both guide and the driver were very kind and knowledgeable. We highly recommend this tour.

My dad and I did a 3 week tour with Susantha and he took us all over Sri Lanka! Overa Tours is a great tour company and Susantha was an excellent guide. He was a careful driver, was always on time, always helped with our luggage, helped with translation, and was always more than willing to help out and suggest activities to do wherever we went. If we needed something from a store, he would take us to the right place.
Susantha was patient and would get up at 4am if needed to drive me somewhere for a sunrise hike, like at Sigiria Rock (this was one of the highlights of the trip!).
We started in Negombo and went to the beach in Trincomalee for scuba/snorkel, went to Kandy to see the Temple of the Tooth, to Nuwara Eliya, Kithulgala for rafting and relaxation along the river, rode a train to Ella (a MUST if you visit!), and wrapped up our stay in the jungle in Sinharaja. We did three safaris for bird watching and elephant viewing, and a guided walk in the jungle in Singaraja looking for reptiles, insects, and birds.
This has been a trip of a lifetime, and it was fantastic having a driver. It makes traveling so much easier; no coordinating bus or train schedules, no calling taxis.

I went with my wife and 8 years son to visit Sri Lanka in July 2023. And visited some places like Dambulla temple, Sigiriya Rock climbing, Spice garden, Gym museums, temple of tooth, Damro tea factory, Ram-Sita temple etc. My office manager recommended Praneeth Chamalka as our tour guide with his own car rent, we found him good in communication, very safe driving, punctual with timings, accommodating to all our needs and interests and overall very easy personal. In addition, great itineraries and guides based on our interests. Definitely use Praneeth Chamalka again and recommend 100% with 5 star rating. Thank you [Anil Singh Dhami from Nepal]

We had a custom tour request and started from Colombo to Ella down to Mirissa, onwards to Unawatuna followed by a day tour in Galle and then back to Colombo. Nuwan Sity did a fantastic job showing us everything along the way between all the spots. He took the time to explain things as we drove along, answered any questions and even went out of his way without request of informing all our hotels of our arrival times to ensure everything was in order. He is extremely friendly, very easy to talk to and had 110% genuine interest in showing us everything he possibly could. You could sense sense his enthusiasm to show you his country so you could love and live it as much as he does and he definitely delivered. He was extremely punctual and was never ever late. We were the late ones after late nights lol but he waited patiently and was always on time and ready to go whenever we were. From food recommendations to activities and popular sights along the way. I would say he absolutely nailed it and when (not if) I do come back and if he's still doing his thing, I'd definitely hit him up again before looking at any other options. Would highly recommend!

Ella, a charming hill town in the central highlands, is a haven for solo travelers seeking adventure and tranquility. Solo adventurers can embark on the iconic hike to Ella Rock, which rewards with panoramic views of verdant valleys and tea plantations. For those looking to connect with fellow travelers, Ella's vibrant backpacker scene offers plenty of opportunities to socialize in cozy cafes and guesthouses. The nearby Nine Arch Bridge is a must-visit, where solo travelers can marvel at the architectural marvel and soak in the serenity of the surroundings.

I asked Overa tours to book a specific itinerary for a hiking in Sri Lanka, with friends, and they did not disappoint! They asked for feedback and verification along the way and were very flexible and accommodating. The tour guides provided were also excellent. I would definitely recommend them and book with them again!

Overa Tours responded quickly to inquiries and made sure to check up on us during the tour. The price offered was reasonable and the tour could be tailored to what guest wanted. Our driver on the day was friendly and knowledgeable of the area!

I had booked tour with OVERA for 9days/8nights with me, my wife & 1kid in Dec23. Overall it was well planned &executed tour covering different place like Colombo, Kandy, Dambula, Sigiriya, Bentota, Pinnawala, Tissamaharama. Hotels were well arranged, accomodated with minor hiccups in few hotels. The best thing was our driver Mr. Lakshita who was very cooperative/ supportive & well mannered. Drove vehicle very safely and covered entire trip/destination in timely fashion. Thanks for OVERA Team for entire team for executing the tour in professional way.

Our tour was filled with joy, laughter and with much exitement which was a well customized itenary by Overa Tours. It was arranged by Yassar, a very knowledgeable & a friendly guy. According to our requirements he gave us a well planned itinerary with stunning locations,
comfortable accommodation in hotels & vehicles. This tour inspired & made us learn lot about the cultures, religions & traditions of a different nation. Discoveries of Sung Sot cave & family's swimming at Halong Bay were amazing.
Wow! Kayaking with my daughter at Halong Bay was incredibly exiting. Reaching to the
"Roof of Indochina in Sapa by Furnicular & Cable car was thrilling.
Well the whole tour was astonishing with lots of thrills.
I recommend anyone to tour with Overa Tours without hesitation as they do a qgood job with our requirements.
