点评:My Wife and I booked a two week tour with Blue Lanka, following a custom itinerary. The booking process was easy with them and they were very good at tailoring our tour to suit us. The price was also reasonable for what they provide.
We arrived in Sri Lanka on 29th November after cyclone Ditwah, so we were worried about how our tour was affected by flooding. Blue Lanka provided no assurances or communication regarding the floods and changed our tour guide whilst we were flying to the country.
I feel we were very lucky with our guide, Champika, who facilitated our tour incredibly well and adapted to last minute changes in our itinerary. With this said there was no information from Blue Lanka and we found out that some of our activities were cancelled without any notice. After contacting them, Blue Lanka have promised refunds for missed activities and I do believe they will pay this back.
Another disappointing discovery was that Blue Lanka did not pay one of our hotels in advance, and hotel staff were demanding that we pay for a 3 night stay that should have been paid already by Blue Lanka. Again, Champika handled this situation very well (almost as if it wasn’t the first time) and the issue was eventually resolved. I do find it perplexing that Blue Lanka didn't settle the bill with the hotel prior to our arrival, and this caused us immense stress and delay on the day.
With all this said, we incredibly enjoyed our trip to Sri Lanka. The itinerary was well-crafted, with a mix of culture, nature and quirky activities that we appreciated. The hotel selection was very good - and there was a mix of touristy and non touristy places. Clearly they have good experience in making quality itineraries.
Guides perhaps are luck of the draw. I can only comment on Champika but he was excellent in arranging our activities and making sure we made the most of our trip.
翻译:我和妻子通过Blue Lanka预订了一个为期两周的定制行程。预订过程非常便捷,他们也非常擅长根据我们的需求量身定制行程。价格也与他们提供的服务相符。
我们在11月29日抵达斯里兰卡,当时正值迪特瓦飓风过后,因此我们很担心洪水会对我们的行程造成影响。Blue Lanka没有就洪水情况提供任何保证或沟通,甚至在我们飞往斯里兰卡的途中更换了导游。
我们很幸运地遇到了导游Champika,她非常尽职尽责地安排了我们的行程,并能灵活应对我们行程中的临时变动。尽管如此,Blue Lanka方面仍然没有提供任何信息,我们最终发现一些活动在没有任何通知的情况下被取消了。联系Blue Lanka后,他们承诺会退还我们错过活动的款项,我相信他们会兑现承诺。
另一个令人失望的发现是,Blue Lanka 没有提前支付我们预订的其中一家酒店的房费,酒店工作人员要求我们支付本应由 Blue Lanka 支付的三晚房费。Champika 再次出色地处理了这个问题(仿佛这已经不是第一次了),最终问题得到了解决。我感到困惑的是,Blue Lanka 竟然没有在我们抵达前与酒店结算账单,这给我们当天造成了巨大的压力和延误。
尽管如此,我们仍然非常享受这次斯里兰卡之旅。行程安排得非常周到,融合了文化、自然风光和一些我们很喜欢的特色活动。酒店的选择也非常好——既有热门景点,也有非热门景点。显然,他们在制定高质量的行程方面经验丰富。
导游的选择可能有点碰运气。我只能评价 Champika,但他非常出色地安排了我们的活动,并确保我们充分利用了这次旅行。
