Loved everything. Bosphorus tour.

Hi everyone! I took a 2-day tour with guide Ishar and his trainee Rashen, and I really enjoyed it. It was a packed tour, and we visited some beautiful places! On day 1 we saw the Nine Arch Bridge, Little Adam's Peak, a tea plantation and much more. On day 2, Sigiriya and the elephant hotel stood out most. There were an incredible number of elephants, around 40. I've never seen so many. You could write a whole story about Sigiriya, it's the 8th wonder of the world! Everything went smoothly, without a single hitch. Great job, guys! We also had a superb driver who got us to every place quickly and comfortably. I recommend seeing all this beauty. You won't regret it!

We took a 2-day tour with our child to Ella, Sigiriya, Ravana Pool and Pinnawala. Our guide was Dilan and our driver was Chamara. We were lucky with them. The tour felt relaxed and they took all our wishes into account. Dilan did his best to bring us to every location first, with as few other tourists as possible. He is also an interesting person to talk to. We learned a lot and had fun. Oh, and our child adores Dilan and says he will miss him :) That says a lot. Thank you to the driver for the great driving. We got through all the winding mountain roads comfortably and without any problems, even our 5-year-old. Thank you, it was fantastic!

My friend and I took the two-day Ella + Pinnawala + Sigiriya tour. Huge thanks for the tour! The route is out of this world: Sigiriya, ancient history with an incredible view; the Pinnawala nursery, a sea of joy from the elephants; a great hotel, tasty breakfast and dinner, plus live music in the evening! Ella is home to the famous Nine Arches Bridge and the train. Nuwara Eliya has fairytale tea plantations and clean mountain air. Everything was perfectly organized, punctual and very full. Our guide Ishara is wonderful, a person with mega positive energy. His stories are a pleasure to listen to! Thanks also to Rashan for the photos and interesting stories! Special thanks to the driver for comfort and safety on the winding mountain roads. Sri Lanka made us fall in love with it for good! I recommend this tour to everyone. It's worth it! ❤️

We took the Golden Ring tour with the coolest guide in Sri Lanka 🔥 yes, yes, Oshan, that's you) Thank you so much for a productive and packed trip around the island. We saw everything, made it everywhere, and most importantly, in good company and with a positive mood.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the tour you organized for me! Everything was organized really well: the transfer, the hotel, the flight tickets. Everything was clear. It was very nice that everyone I dealt with was so friendly. I hope this wasn't my last time in Vietnam, and if I come back, I'll contact only you! You are wonderful professionals! Thank you once again! Special thanks to your colleagues who organized all the transfers! Guys, well done!! All the drivers were great! I wish you all prosperity!! Irina Mulaleva

Good afternoon! Yesterday we went on a tour to Galle and a river safari. We were lucky, because our guide was Dilanchik again :) It was interesting and exciting. Thank you, Dilan, for your attention and care, and for the relaxed atmosphere. The bus was also good and comfortable :) I will definitely recommend you to my friends and acquaintances. Sri Lanka is wonderful and has truly stolen my heart ❤️

We went on the two-day "Heart of Sri Lanka" tour with our guide Yasir. We loved everything. The places were stunning, we stopped for lunch at good cafés, and our guide was very attentive. We learned a lot about Sri Lanka from him. We visited Adam's Peak, the Nine Arch Bridge and Pidurangala Rock (the climb was not easy), along with many other places. We got to every stop before the big crowds arrived! Highly recommended 😎

My son and I went on a 2-day private tour with our guide, Dylan! Two days is physically tough, of course, but oh my goodness(!!!), so many impressions!! Dylan adapted the tour to our needs. We skipped a temple and had a simple but very pleasant introduction to village life, with a boat ride on a beautiful lake, and my son happily paddled a catamaran ;) Overall, the effort and the price of the trip paid off completely! Without trips like this, our feeling of Sri Lanka would have been very different! We're delighted!

...Two days with the best guide in Sri Lanka 🙏... I'd like to share our impressions of the two-day tour and say a special thank-you to the person who made these two days truly unforgettable 💔 ....Our guide was Ishara Vipul... 🔥💪💯 You know, there are guides, and then there are "guides sent from above". That's exactly Ishara! ... Two days on tour with Ishara flew by in a moment! This is a case where a guide becomes a friend. Warm, attentive and a really great guy. He tells stories in an engaging way, looks after his guests and truly loves his job. ....Very open, positive and incredibly thoughtful....👍👋😎 .... Ishara!!! didn't just run through the program. He immersed us in the life and culture of the country. He is also incredibly attentive to tourists... he always tells you where and how to stand for a photo, answers any question and makes sure you're comfortable. You can feel he doesn't work just to tick a box, he puts his soul into it. He is truly in the right place! 👍 Thank you so much for these two days, for your hard work and kindness. 🙏 And a special request to the company's director... 🌹 Please recognize Ishara and thank him for his professionalism! 🙏🔥👍 Employees like this are a real treasure and the face of your company. If we come back to Sri Lanka and book a tour, it will only be with Ishara!🙏😎👋

Huge thanks to Yasir and his team (the photographer and the driver) for the two-day tour. These are memories for a lifetime, and special thanks for getting us to places when there were no crowds of tourists 🙏 We saw insanely beautiful places, but for me the breakfast with elephants was the most impressive and memorable. If you're wondering whether it's worth going, definitely go ☺️

Gorgeous and incredible. The guide is wonderful. Tells stories in an interesting way. We left early, so we got there before the heat.

Hello everyone!! I'm on my way back from the two-day tour of Sigiriya, the hotel with elephants, Ravana and a tea plantation. Most importantly, this is not my last time in Sri Lanka. Our guide, Oshan, is super!! Very professional, cheerful, helpful, responsible, attentive and smart!! I liked everything! The photos and videos he took are amazing!! I'm grateful to him and the drivers for the unforgettable moments in my life. Thanks to them, I fell in love with this country. Thank you so much! God bless them with prosperity!!!

Yesterday we took a tour of Galle Fort. We really enjoyed it. Our guide told us a lot about the city itself, the history of the country and the life of local people. A nice bonus was our guide's photography skills! Thank you!

Hello everyone! I'd like to say a big thank you to our guide, Mano. My friends and I recommend his tours. You'll have a great time :))

Thank you @Olga_BigTravelChat for organizing the trip and helping with the transfer for a fantastic tour of Ella, Sigiriya and the elephants 🐘 In 2 days we saw so much that the memories will last a long time. The group on the bus was only 16 people, the driver was careful, and the guide and photographer were great. I recommend it to everyone 👍

Ksenia, thank you so much for organizing the Hanoi and Ha Long Bay tour. I expected to like it, but not this much 😍 Hanoi simply can't help but win you over. Those little streets, everything there is just beautiful. Anyone coming to Vietnam must visit Hanoi to feel the true charm of real Vietnam. You could sing odes to Ha Long Bay. The saying "see it and die" fits this place perfectly. It has a special place in my heart forever, and you should definitely stay overnight so you can take it all in without rushing. Thank you so much ❤️ I'll share my photos soon.

It's a common situation: you run out of cash, but you have money on your card. How do you get local currency in another country? I found this service, had never heard of it before, took a chance and I'm glad I did. They delivered the cash to our hotel, we counted it all and simply transferred the money via the Faster Payments System (SBP) using the details they gave us. We had to wait a little, but the whole thing took 20 minutes at most. We were happy and had our cash. So if you find yourself in the same situation, I recommend using this service.

A very good guide. Everything was clear and interesting, and he explained everything in detail.

I simply have to share my impressions of our two-day tour of Sri Lanka! It was absolutely incredible! The itinerary was so full that it felt like we had covered the whole country, yet we never felt rushed or stressed. All of this was thanks to our wonderful guide, Ishar! He did not just take us to the sights, he gave us Sri Lanka. Ishar is a treasure trove of knowledge, fascinating stories and a fantastic sense of humour. He shared not only the facts about the places we visited, but also his own experiences, and told us about the lives, traditions and culture of Sri Lankans. Listening to him was so engaging that, even when tiredness set in, I was afraid of missing a single word! And what surprises awaited us! Riding in a buffalo cart, a romantic boat trip on the lake, tasting local food (mmm, it was delicious!), trying on traditional clothes and a fun photo shoot. All of this made our trip truly special. We visited a stunning tea plantation with breathtaking views, travelled by train and enjoyed the beauty of Sri Lanka along the way, and Ishar took some truly amazing photos for us! The Nine Arch Bridge, Sigiriya and many other interesting places will stay in my memory forever. Our group was small, just 12 people, which created a cosy and friendly atmosphere. Ishar paid attention to each of us, answered all our questions and did everything possible to make our trip comfortable and memorable. If you are planning a trip to Sri Lanka, I highly recommend this company! Thank you so much, Ishar, for these unforgettable experiences!

Hello everyone!!! I'd like to leave a review too. It was MAGNIFICENT!!!! I fell in love with Sri Lanka😍😍😍😍 Huge thanks for these two magical days😍😍😍 To our guide, our driver, our photographer and our group❤️

I'm writing this review some time later, once all the emotions and excitement have settled 😁 Thank you, Bigtravel, for crossing my path and helping me sort out all the details when planning my trip ☺️ Thank you for showing us all the main beauties of this amazing island in two days. You made us fall in love with Sri Lanka! On the first day we visited Ravana Falls, climbed Little Adam's Peak, walked along the rails to the Nine Arches Bridge, and enjoyed every location. We rode the train, went up into the mountains to a tea plantation and felt like real tea pickers. We sent colorful postcards home from the oldest English post office, climbed to the very top of the Ambuluwawa tower and recharged with the powerful energy of incredible nature! 💖 Our guide Yasir has a great sense of humor and knows his country and these places well. He won our hearts and filled our time with bright colors and memories 👍 For the night we stayed at the Elefant hotel in Pinnawala and swam in the pool with beautiful views. Dinner and breakfast were wonderful and very tasty. In the morning ELEPHANTS greeted us 🐘 Big, majestic masters of the jungle. We enjoyed watching them bathe and admired them 👋 And of course we went off to conquer Sigiriya, the Lion Rock, one of the most recognizable sights in the world. It was breathtaking… The whole team reached the very top and, having overcome our fears and tiredness, we were proud of ourselves! ✊ It was the best time we had in Sri Lanka! 🇱🇰 Wishing everyone an easy, relaxing holiday and wonderful memories of this warm, diverse and colorful country! 🤗

We had an unforgettable time on the tour to Ella in Sri Lanka. Our guide, Oshan, was cheerful and kind, with excellent knowledge of the language and culture. He answered all our questions, helped with everything and is simply a great person) He's also an excellent photographer. You don't even need to ask, he'll keep taking photos until you've had enough))) He also knows the best spots for photos and the best time for them) Thank you so much, Oshan, we'd be happy to meet you again) Thanks also to the organizer, Olga, for the timely information and the great team)

Today we went on a tour of Colombo with the wonderful guide Dilan and the excellent driver Akila. The tour was great, we visited all the sights and learned a lot of new and interesting things about the culture, religion and history of magical Sri Lanka :) After tours like this I always want to come back and learn even more :) Dilan, a special thank you for a great time, the tips and your help :)

Our tour "Ella and Elephant Park" took place on 23.10.26. The transfer arrived on time, and the car was very comfortable. We met our wonderful guide, Roshan. He led the tour in a very engaging way. He answered all of our questions! And of course, he is a wonderful photographer! Many thanks to Roshan and everyone who organized this tour!

Highly recommend this service. I needed Indian currency, and the team helped me solve the problem very quickly! Recommended.

Thank you very much! Everything was exactly as promised!

We took two tours in Vietnam. Everything was well organized and informative, with a good lunch and a comfortable transfer.

Huge thanks to Big Travel for the flawless pickup! The car arrived right on time, and the driver was very polite and careful. The interior was spotless and comfortable, and the ride was smooth and pleasant. I really appreciate this high level of service, the attention to detail and the punctuality. I will be recommending you to my friends!

The car rental went great, everything as agreed. Precise and on time. The deposit was returned without any problems when I returned the car, paid in cash. Thank you, we'll be back next year and will recommend you to others.

The Big Travel team responded quickly and handled our car rental request in Da Nang. Thank you!

My husband and I took a tour in Da Lat, Vietnam, and we were very happy and came away with lots of new experiences! As for organization, everything is very comfortable: the manager answers all questions quickly, every tour is described in detail, and the prices and payment options are very good. The tour itself went well: the guide's stories, the locations and their order 👍🏻 I would only have spent a little more time at the pagoda and a little less at the zoo. Our experience was very positive, so we'll definitely contact Big Travel again! Thank you!

We booked an Istanbul tour in advance. They picked us up on time. We traveled by minibus in a small group. The guide never rushed us and gave us time to enjoy the views and take photos. We had lunch at a scenic spot near the Galata Bridge. Fish shawarma: who would have thought it would be so tasty :) Thank you very much, we loved everything!

I'd like to express huge thanks to our guide Batyr for a wonderful time! He is a true professional and an incredibly positive, warm-hearted person. From the first minute, Batyr created a very comfortable, friendly atmosphere. He told us about every place in an interesting and engaging way, answered every question and took all our wishes into account. The tour flew by and left us with vivid impressions and lots of positive emotions. We loved the tour, largely thanks to such a guide! We will definitely recommend Batyr to all our friends and acquaintances. Thank you for an unforgettable experience!

Great car! Thank you, everything went well.

The Sri Lanka tour ♥️ went very smoothly. We booked a private transfer with a driver-guide! I'd recommend it to anyone who doesn't like crowds. The tour went at our own pace. Thank you 🙏🫶🏼

Clear, fast, true professionals (Olga is great 👍). Thank you, and of course I recommend them!

Got our Vietnam visa 🇻🇳👌 pretty fast

I needed an urgent visa for Vietnam, and on a day off they got it done in a couple of hours! I recommend them to everyone!

Once again I want to thank Olga and the whole team for their help with processing and extending my visa. It's always quick, clear and hassle-free: I simply handed over my passport and the next day I received it with the visa ready. Olga is always available and answers all questions in detail. Our whole family has used their services more than once. They are our regular agent and we trust them completely. I definitely recommend them!

Yesterday we took the Bosphorus Panorama tour. Despite the rainy weather, the tour had a warm atmosphere. The guide told us many interesting things about the sights of Istanbul and answered all the tourists' questions. Thank you, Big Travel team!

Quick and convenient. Thank you.

We hired a car with a driver and traveled through central Sri Lanka and then south, 5 days in total. Our driver Madushanga is simply the kindest person. He helped wherever he could, with all his heart. We became friends, and the trip was as comfortable as it could be. I even cried at the end of the trip. I will never forget it 🥹

We went on the «Galle Fort + River Safari» tour today. The tour was very full and interesting! Huge thanks to our wonderful guide Dilan for the detailed and very informative commentary. The visit to the temple was especially moving, and we learned a lot about the religion. Big thanks to our driver too. Supun is not only a true professional at his job, but also kind and very responsible.

Overall, our impressions are very good. The nature is beautiful, the sea is warm, the water is turquoise, the views are stunning, and the snorkeling is simply gorgeous 😊 Thank you for organizing the tour 🤗

Olga, you are a gem, a miracle and simply a fairy ❤️❤️❤️ Thank you so much 🙏 for your approach and for organizing the tour! I'm delighted! My husband is happy too! Dilan is great 😍

Yulia, good evening. It went really well and we enjoyed everything. We especially liked the guide Tonya (if I remember her name correctly). We had a great trip and will recommend it to others!

We took a one-day tour in Ella: we climbed Little Adam's Peak, rode the train, and visited a waterfall and an elephant nursery. What I want to say: Yasir planned the whole route in the most logical and comfortable way! But the pace is intense, so be ready 😅 If you travel on your own at a relaxed pace, each of these places deserves more time. Yasir, our guide, is simply super!!!! He doesn't just "run the tour", he really makes an effort so guests have a beautiful, interesting and safe day 👏🙏 He helped everyone with photos, suggested the best angles ☝️👏 and gave attention to everyone in the group, and there were ….19 of us 🫣😅. Thank you, Yasir 🫶

Great company! Serious and reliable! If you want a car for traveling around Sri Lanka, these are the people to go to! Support from start to finish!

Good afternoon, I forgot to write right away: thank you so much for organizing the tour. Our guide Jojo Oshan was wonderful, we loved everything, we were shown everything that was planned, in a very friendly and informative way. And special thanks to the driver who took us around, a true professional 🙌

Hi everyone, Olga, we're already on our way back from the Yala tour. While the memories are fresh, I'll tell you about it)) I originally thought we'd have to leave almost at sunrise, so I was very skeptical when they said pickup would be at 10:00, though I was happy we'd get a proper sleep)) But it turned out to be the best decision! The ride was comfortable, we chose a restaurant with the driver and had lunch near the park, then switched to a jeep. Everyone said seeing a leopard is almost impossible, let alone other animals) Plus it was rainy. But we hit the jackpot 🤩 We saw a leopard sitting in a tree and a huge bear (a Sri Lankan sloth bear)! An elephant, a python, crocodiles, lots of monkeys, wild boars, mongooses, deer, toucans, peacocks, even a jackal 😅 Hares, monitor lizards and squirrels, of course)) There were so many that I can't remember them all. The ride back was comfortable too. The guide is great) Thank you for the wonderful organization!

Olga knows her business: everything is fast, clear, no fluff, and she's always in touch. Thank you so much!

Hello everyone! Today I went on a tour of Galle Fort, a river safari, a gem mine and a beach with turtles. I enjoyed it, but after the two-day tour I was tired and my legs were humming like power lines. So I walked around with little enthusiasm, but it was still wonderful! Seeing huge turtles in the ocean and even feeding them! It's pure delight! That giant even stepped on my foot twice with its flippers😂 I really liked the short but rich tour of a small mine where precious stones are dug. It was very informative for me: you see people working, washing the sand and finding stones, and then you see how masterpieces are made from them!! It's awesome!👍 The fort is interesting too, with a long history. Thank you to our guide, Denis, for his professionalism and his care for every traveler. That's the most important thing in this work! A small tip for travelers: you can't embrace the unembraceable! I'm saying this about myself and warning others, especially older travelers: don't book tours back to back. Take a break of at least a day, and then you'll keep good impressions of what you saw! Thank you, Sri Lanka! I fell in love with you and hope to come back again!

Good evening, Ksenia! I've returned the car. Everything is in perfect order. The car is wonderful, well maintained and comfortable. I liked everything. Thank you!)

I contacted Olga about getting a 90-day visa for Vietnam for my whole family. I explained how urgent it was and how important it was to solve this as soon as possible. Thank you very much for the speed and the quality of the work. Within 3 days I already had the visas for the whole family.

Huge thanks to Olga and the whole team for their professional work! This is our fourth time working with Olga. We arrange visas for the whole family, and every time it goes perfectly. Everything is organized very quickly and without any fuss. Olga explains each step clearly and always gives precise, detailed answers to all our questions. We also want to mention her attentiveness, her support and her high level of professionalism. We always get our visas without delays, the terms of cooperation are transparent, and the price of the service is very reasonable. We are so glad we found such a reliable visa agent. We definitely recommend her!
