VANAVIL TOURS AND HOLIDAYS

Our recent 6-day tour from India to Sri Lanka, covering everything from the northern city of Jaffna to Colombo, was flawlessly organized by Vanavil Tours and Holidays A special thanks to Ryan Armstrong, the entrepreneur behind it all, for his exceptional hospitality and personal touch throughout the journey. He went above and beyond to make everyone feel comfortable and cared for; treating us like one big family. His lively energy and positive spirit made every moment enjoyable, turning the trip into a truly memorable experience. From the well-planned itinerary to the comfortable hotels and delicious meals, everything exceeded expectations. Highly recommend Vanavil Tours and Holidays for anyone looking for a seamless, joyful, and unforgettable Sri Lanka experience!

Me and my wife are extremely thankful to Shri Armstrong for arranging a customized 7 day tour of Sri Lanka. We travelled by a Chauffeur driven Car throughout, i.e right from Landing at Jafna till flying back to Bangalore from Colombo. During the tour we visited Jafna, Trincomalee, Kandy, Nuwara Eliya, Katargama, Galle, Bentota and finally Colombo. The choice of Hotels at the above places for our overnight staying was excellent, particularly at Bentota and Colombo where the rooms were facing the sea. The driver drove the car extremely well throughout our journey. I had requested Shri Armstrong to arrange for a personalised tour due to certain health issues with my wife, which he understood and obliged as we had desired. I stongly recommend to utilize the services of Shri Armstrong, Proprietor of M/s Vanavil Tours and Holidays to all those who intend to travel to any part of the globe as they have many tour programmes, for enjoying peaceful, relaxing and stress free vacations. Wishing Shri Armstrong the very best and looking forward for more such tours during the days to come.

I would like to list the reasons why one should join the Sri Lanka tour operated by Vanavil Tours and Holidays. Among the many tour operators to Sri Lanka, this tour operator stands out, not only for promoting tourism to Northern and Eastern parts, the once predominantly LTTE controlled areas of Sri Lanka, but also for his passionate support to the Tamils of the Island nation and their cause. The ancestral connections of Mr. Armstrong, the proprietor of Vanavil Tours and Holidays, may be the reason behind his passionate and exhaustive narrative of the recent struggles of the native Tamils, their historicity and their bloody recent past. These parts of the island nation were the starting point of the Sri Lankan Civil War and was significantly impacted by it. After the war ended in 2009, the region has been focusing on rebuilding through string of measures; and the slow return of tourism being one of them. As part of the tour he had organized a cultural show at Jaffna by local artists. The performance far exceeded my expectations and made a positive and tremendous impact. Koothu, a traditional form of South Indian folk art, blending dance, music and drama was not only performed for entertainment to and by the working class of people but also served as a medium to educate them about religion, the societal values and their past glorious history. My heartiest thanks and best compliments to all the organizers and performers. It's not merely a sightseeing tour but a pilgrimage to the important shrines (St. Mary's Cathedral and St. James church, Jaffna; Our Lady of Lourdes, Manthal and Madu Madha church, Mannar; St. Xavier's church, Nuwara Eliya; Tewatta Church Ragama, Holy Spirit church Negombo, St. Lucia Cathedral, St. Anthony's Shrine Kochikade) and to the land of the martyrs, who laid their life for their faith. The killing of Christians did not stop the faith but instead, paradoxically, helped it to flourish and spread. The willingness of martyrs to die for their beliefs demonstrates the sincerity and depth of their faith, which can be inspiring and persuasive to others. A visit to these places helps us to hold on to our faith and be more resilient in the face of opposition, torture and persecution. Vanavil Tours and Holidays, unlike many tour operators, does not compromise in the selection of hotels and quality of food. That's a certainly a commendable forte. A tour is never complete unless and otherwise the group is able to interact with local people and visit their market places. The tour has been packed so tightly there was hardly any time or opportunity for that. I understand only that much could be offered within that budget the group will be comfortable with. I suggest that the tour provides an extra day in Jaffna and Mannar, Trincomallee, Nuwara Eliya and Bentota at additional costs. I strongly recommend Vanavil Tours and Holidays for all who intend to visit Sri Lanka for sightseeing and pilgrimage.
