Wonderful tour of amazing India & Sri Lanka   , WA, Australia, Jan 2025
I had an absolute whale of a time on the joint Tru Travels India & Sri Lanka tours in January 2025. I got an amazing discount for the tour on Global Journeys Black Friday Sale. Rachael at Global Journeys was a great, helpful travel advisor. She had great communication skills & kept me updated with regular emails & I even called her to chat. Nothing ...read more was too much trouble. I loved the Tru Travels itinerary and the extra amazing Tru Travel exclusive visits that other tour companies would never take you too. Both Shivy our Indian tour guide & Hasi our Sri Lankan tour guides were wonderful, knowledgeable, friendly guys & amazing dancers ๐Ÿ˜. Both my tour group families loved and accepted me, even though I am older than the normal younger age bracket. We all got on so well and I'm proud to call them my family. Loved every minute of both tours and I would definitely go again with Tru Travels and Global Journeys. Thanks so much for an awesome experience. I'll never forget it. Two thumbs up ๐Ÿ‘ ๐Ÿ‘

Stress free Sri Lanka.   , NSW, Australia, Sep 2023
We thoroughly enjoyed our recent Bunnik tour of Sri Lanka. Everything from the pick up at the air port to the drop off 17 days later ran very smoothly. The accommodation was great as was the choice of meals. There were only 6 on this tour and we all got on very well. Our tour guide and all other hosts we had were friendly, knowledgeable and passionate ...read more about what they did and their country. Services we received were exceptional. We had some great experiences and there were many lovely touches, such as our welcome cocktails in the mangroves, followed by a BBQ accompanied by a couple playing instruments and singing. The cold face cloths provided on the humid days after experiences were very welcome. Thanks to Global for their organisation. We would recommend both Global and Bunnik to those planning a holiday.
Sri Lanka in Depth   , United Kingdom, Dec 2021
COVID precautions were taken very seriously in Sri Lanka . The hotels took our temperature and provided hand cleaning regularly. The guide organised our return Covid tests at the penultimate hotel, which was very helpful. I felt very safe travelling during COVID times. The boat company for the whale watching handed out sea sickness tablets. They were ...read more ridiculously strong and I could hardly stay awake! Perhaps I was foolish in accepting them but I think they should come with a warning!
