Tailor Made Travel

Tailor Made

Take a trip of a thousand lifetimes

We believe in travel that moves the mind, stirs the senses and changes lives. With one foot in Colombo and another in the UK, we craft journeys that take you straight to the heart of Sri Lanka, India and the Maldives. Our tailored trips aren't simply about seeing a place — they're about genuinely feeling it.

How it works

Tell us about yourself

Our experts in Colombo and the UK will schedule a short video, telephone or WhatsApp call to learn about what excites and inspires you, as well as any specific needs you may have.

We’ll piece together your personalised itinerary, curating experiences, handpicking stays and checking availability to match your unique needs and interests.

The plan should be spot on at this point, but we can absolutely make some tweaks if needed. Once you’re happy, we just need a small deposit to make it official.

Ready to fly

Booking confirmed and all important info sent, it’s time to pack your bags, pick a book, and set your out of office. We’ll see you on arrival!

Our approach

Why travel with Red Dot?

Ultra Personalised

We create trips that are designed just for you - your exact interests, your unique tastes, your perfect adventure. Everything is built from scratch, which means we can push boundaries and create something truly special.

Support at every turn

With offices in Sri Lanka, India and the UK, we're always here to help, in your time zone. You'll never feel like you're travelling alone.

Unlike other tour operators, the majority of our team are based in South Asia and this means you get better value for money and crucially more of that money goes in to the local economy.

Drivers and Guides

Our drivers and guides don't just get you from place to place - they make your entire journey. It's our carefully selected relationships that set us apart. Just check our reviews and you'll see what we mean!

Curated Stays

We're passionate about beautiful, unique places that tell a story. Our recommendations come from years of experience and honest feedback, and we'll always encourage you to choose the small, characterful hotels over the big chains - trust us, you'll thank us later.

Value

Exceptional doesn't have to mean expensive. We take value seriously because we want you to feel confident that every pound is well spent and every experience is worth it.

Responsible travel

Positive impact

With 90% of our team based in Colombo, supporting our community is personal. We prioritise local hosts, guides, and businesses to ensure the benefits of tourism extend way beyond the well-trodden path. Plus, we donate a portion of every booking to the Tea Leaf Trust, an award-winning Sri Lankan charity providing education, training and support to tea estate communities, on your behalf.

What our travellers say

We went to Sri Lanka as a three-generation family of three. The superb trip was organised by Samanthie and the team and it's difficult to see how it could have been bettered.

Roy Wood (February 2026) Read the whole review here Google

Red Dot organised the most wonderful 3-week holiday for us. Samanthie built a trip around the amazing sights we had requested visiting, together with her own suggestions and a wide mix of hotels, which gave us the flavours of both traditional Sri Lanka and the sleek, stylish contemporary version of the country. Our Driver made the whole experience incredibly special for us.

I can’t thank Cherylle and the Red Dot team enough for their meticulous planning of our family holiday to India travelling through Rajasthan over Christmas. As a family of all adults, every suggestion from daily activities to hotel choices was simply perfect. We travelled through Delhi, Ranthambore (an unforgettable tiger safari!), Jaipur and Agra and I truly feel we experienced the very best of each destination while moving at a relaxed, well thought out pace

Daisy Stanton (February 2026) Read the whole review here Google

My partner arranged a holiday trip at fairly short notice to Sri Lanka with Red Dot on a recommendation, Samanthie was so patient & helpful with her suggested itinerary which we followed with some minor amendments. On arrival at Colombo we met Manjula our chauffeur/guide who was absolutely brilliant!

Dulmini and the Red Dot Team arranged a fantastic trip for us around Assam and North Eat India. Faultless service. I cannot recommend them more highly.

Wonderful company. Our holiday in Sri Lanka was perfect. Local knowledge made all the difference

Sandra Nicholson (February 2026) Read the whole review here Google

We looked up, and communicated with umpteen tour operators. Though Red Dot seemed to have offices in Sri Lanka and the UK, they seemed to have the best reviews. We were fortunate enough to correspond with Cherylle, who not only assured us of the safety of our friend, but created a personalised, and flexible, itinerary which we could not have done ourselves.

Jayant Banerji (February 2026) Read the whole review here Google

A 14-day tour with Red Dot Tours was the perfect antidote to the bleak UK winter. After a glowing recommendation from a friend, we contacted Red Dot Tours and were not disappointed. Our consultant, Lahiru, curated a seamless itinerary. Throughout the planning phase, Lahiru was incredibly responsive; the final itinerary—delivered via a user-friendly 'Guest Portal'—was impressively detailed, covering every hotel stay and excursion.

Explore The Golden Triangle in India through a different angle

The Golden Triangle remains one of India's most iconic routes, but it doesn't have to follow the well-worn path. Experience Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur through quiet morning walks, local artisans' studios, and heritage sites without the crowds. From sunrise at the Taj Mahal to leopard spotting on Jaipur's outskirts, this is the Golden Triangle designed for deeper exploration – where the monuments are just the beginning
