Question 1

Who will be my guide?

Accepted Answer

Milan himself, every day of your journey. He never hands his guests over to another guide, a friend or an agency. If he already has guests on your dates, he will tell you honestly and suggest other dates.

Question 2

Is the 10-day journey a fixed package?

Accepted Answer

Yes. It is Milan’s signature route and it stays the same. If you want different days, a different length or different hotels, choose Create Your Own Journey.

Question 3

What is included in the 10-day journey?

Accepted Answer

Your private vehicle and driver, the 4★ hotels listed for each day (five-star upgrades on request), the experiences, entrances and tastings listed each day, and Milan with you every day.

Question 4

How much does it cost?

Accepted Answer

It depends on your dates, your group and your hotel choices. Milan shares the price personally on WhatsApp, together with available dates. It is a private, all-inclusive journey, not a budget tour.

Question 5

Can Milan create a different itinerary?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Create Your Own Journey starts with your dates, pace and interests. Pick days from the signature route, any length and any hotel level, from simple guesthouses to five-star, and Milan builds it with you.

Question 6

Can I book only a Negombo experience?

Accepted Answer

Yes. One Day with Milan in Negombo, the Boat Safari with Milan’s Father (2 to 3 hours, or an adventure of up to 5 hours) and the Cooking Class with Milan’s Family (10am to 4pm) can each be booked on their own, subject to availability.

Question 7

Can I travel with my family or a group?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Journeys are private for you and the people you travel with: couples, families and groups of friends.

Question 8

When is the best time to visit?

Accepted Answer

Milan’s season runs from December to March, when he is in Sri Lanka with his guests. It is a good time for the west and south coasts, Sigiriya and the hill country. The weather differs between coasts, so Milan plans the route around your dates.

Question 9

Is Sri Lanka safe for travellers?

Accepted Answer

Like anywhere, it helps to travel with someone who knows the island. Milan plans routes and timing around current conditions, chooses trusted hotels and drivers, and is with you every day. Check your own government’s travel advice before you book.

Question 10

What about the food, the water and getting sick?

Accepted Answer

Milan chooses where you eat, from his family’s kitchen to trusted local restaurants, and dishes can be made mild. Drink bottled or filtered water. Tell Milan about allergies and diets (vegetarian and vegan are welcome) when you plan.

Question 11

Do I need a visa?

Accepted Answer

Most visitors need an electronic travel authorisation (ETA) before arriving. Rules change, so check the official Sri Lanka immigration website before you travel.

Question 12

Does Milan speak Italian?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Milan speaks Italian, English, Sinhala and Tamil, and spends part of the year in Italy.

Question 13

Are wildlife sightings guaranteed?

Accepted Answer

No. Wildlife encounters depend on nature and the season. Milan’s approach respects animals and their habitat.
