A second superb mixed tons of birding wildlife and culture. Thanks to Jith for helping to organize us as at very short notice. Providing first class transport and Athula. What an asset he is in your organization – an excellent driver – good corporation and birdman. We just cannot braise here enough.

Happy to send a derailed report for website as for our 2009 tour.

 

Note for website

Hi Jith

Sorry our paths and not cross in the tour. We’ve had a great time with Athula.

Just one thing to note for the future, particularly as not everyone is as tolerant as us - it would be sensible is ensure directions to hotels are included in the itinerary and a contact telephone number at the hotel.

The guide were very knowledgeable, professional, dedicated and put in a lot of effort to fund the birds for us.

2 groups moving together was good because these were 2 guide to look for birds.

The guide were very knowledgeable, professional, dedicated and put in a lot of effort to fund the birds for us.

Overall the itinerary was very well – planned and thought out and we thoroughly enjoyed our trip.

Our guide also drove very carefully and put our safety first always.

We will definitely recommend “walk with Jith’’ for bird – watching tours in Sri Lanka.

My group rates this tour as 9/10.

We enjoyed the trip. It was very well organized and things proceeded smoothly and without problems. Our guide, Upali was very helpful and extremely knowledgeable about the birds and wildlife. He gave us excellent advice and information as we traveled around Sri Lanka. We both had a great time on your tour.

Hi Jith,

Thanks for organizing our trip. I’m getting old so don’t remember how my last two trip was. ButI know that I have missed my most wanted birds. You make my dream come true in order to show me the Serendib Scopes Owl and Sri Lanka Spurfoul.

Good response to initial email query. Would be a good idea to enquire with clients how much they are a birding enthusiast compared with someone interested in birds/nature.

Hotels OK – But Kitulgala rest house not very good. (Toilet not flushing, no hot water).

Guide very friendly and knowledgeable about everything regarding birds. Vehicle provided was comfortable but could do with cleaning.

Very pleasant driver and guide… A beautiful country with splendid nature and culture and very friendly people…

Hello Jith

Thank you again for the super trip organized by your company and the pleasant Friday evening.

Here follows the promised review:

We had a very pleasant trip and enjoyed it very much.

in the first place we had a very pleasant driver and guide: Tillany. He was friendly, always trying to do and plan the best for us, nothing was too much for him.  He was always on time and every day we had a clean car, inside and outside. It was a very pleasant person to do our two weeks holiday trip. We never felt any annoyances or anything like that, and that is remarkable when you are on a holiday trip with a person you did not know before.

The Standard of accommodation and transport was very good

The Standard of accommodation and transport was very good. Our driver and bird – guide could not have taken more trouble to ensure we had everything we needed and nothing was too much trouble. We were very well looked after and saw more than we expected?

Thank you for responding so quickly and thoroughly to my pre tour questions via email.

Welcoming me to the country upon my arrival and checking in with me several times during the trip to make sure I was pleased.

Providing a guide who knew not only where to see the birds, but also possessed and shared his knowledge of local plants, animals, butterflies, and Buddhism.

Delivering exactly what we agreed upon via email regarding site, accommodations and fees.

And creating wonderful meaningful memories for me of a beautiful country with spectacular birds, friendly people, delicious and interesting foods, and an ancient and fascinating culture.

A job well done!

We managed to photograph 120 species to a high quality standard

The tour was very well planned. Driving was kept to minimum using the mid-morning / middy hours when the light is poor for photography.

Our emphasis was on photographing birds, we managed to photograph 120 species to a high quality standard.

Our guide Upali was excellent choice, a very knowledgeable guide and a bird call, song and identification expert.

Upali is also a most careful and considerate motorist.

A special Day at Yala gave us two sights of leopard and two of sloth bear with many photographs.

We have been delighted with the tour and highly recommend it.

It is also very good value.

Guide was excellent in birding expertise… Relaxation at the end of another wonderful trip… Good value for money…

This is our second trip to Sri Lanka with “Walk With Jith’’. Our first trip mixed birding and culture but this second trip has focused on birding to try to see the final three endemics that escaped us first time round. Needless to say they were three of the more difficult one but thanks to the knowledge and tenacity of our guide we succeeded in finding all three and saw over 190 different birds in total. Our guide was excellent in both his birding expertise, His informative approach to the overall nature and culture of the island and the way he navigated through the traffic which to our western eyes was utterly chaotic!
