"We had a fabulous day out with Sam. The tour was interesting. He showed us many aspects of Sri Lanka - historical, cultural, religious and the natural world. His English was impeccable. Having a driver meant that Sam’s focus was on ensuring that we had a great day. Sam was responsive to our needs & wishes. Thank you "
"Anoj was very easy to communicate with before we arrived in Sri Lanka, not just with details of the trip we booked with him but he answered some other questions for us about Sri Lanka.
Anoj was prompt each day picking us up.
The driver he worked with was excellent and we felt very safe on the busy roads.
Our trip each day was adapted to our needs and Anoj was always flexible with the plans.
Anoj knows the south very well and he can plan activities using people he has used before so they are better than you can plan yourself.
Would really rate taking a trip with Anoj. "
"excellent visit of Colombo. I saw a lot in on on day, that was a very nice day!"

Nice, Accomodative, Friendly
"My husband & I enjoyed the time with Anoj. We can talk almost anything just like friend. He arranged the activities for us at reasonable price. Like entrance fee, Yala Safari, whale watching. I know of some guide make a hefty profit out of it.
At times, the day before, I decided to change my itinerary, of course within reasonable distance and time along the way, he is accomodative.
He also brought us to reasonable places for meals. Knowing that we cannot take spicy food, he always ensure eateries have both local food in case we want to try and western cuisine.
When I run out of LKR, he went round looking for it along the way despite a public holiday.
Together with his driver partner, we really enjoyed the whole trip with Anoj.
Thank you Anoj for making our trip memorable. "
"Well where do we start?! Supun was amazing from start to finish. He was fantastic to deal with when organising our trip before we arrived, always answering my many questions promptly and with truthful responses. He even answered questions I had about our other travel in Sri Lanka that he didn't need to help with but he did. When we arrived we soon found how out friendly and knowledgable he is. The places we stayed were very nice and we met some amazing people during our time with Supun too. He always wanted what was best for us and took us everywhere we wanted to go, and always with a smile. Thank you Supun for our first few days in beautiful Sri Lanka. You made us all feel very safe and we very much enjoyed our time with you. We hope to stay in touch! "

Great time in Beautiful Country
"Had a great 6 days seeing the sights of southern and central Sri Lanka. Great mix of off the beaten track sites and tourist sites. "
"We (me and my 2 colleagues) had a great Saturday with Nilantha. He picked us up quite early (6:30) so we could get out of Colombo before the worst traffic. After stop for breakfast and coffee we arrived to Madu river. The boat driver was very good and we saw both lizards and monkeys during the tour. The presentation of cinnamon was interesting and so was also the temple. Maybe the best part was the fish therapy \"in the river\" - or nets in the river. Since we where interested in turtles we asked Nilantha to find a place - which he did. Interesting to hear about the how sea turtles are rescued. After lunch we went to the beach and it felt very nice to be able to have a swim. In the afternoon we walked around in Gaulle fort.
During all of the day Nilantha was very positive and always made sure that we where doing what we wanted. He is also a good driver, but the car we had was not his own and there was no belt on the right side in the backseat - that was the only negative thing with all of the day."

Really great experience
"We really enjoyed our trip to Galle with Sam. He showed us some really beautiful places. His English is incredible good, that way it was easy for us to communicate. He shared a lot of interesting facts about the country and explained a lot to us. He came with a driver and the car ride was really smooth and save. Our hotel was a bit off the road and he had to travel nearly 200 additional kilometers to pick us up and to bring us home, but it was still very easy to find a way to still make it work with him, to a very reasonable price. If we ever come back to Sri Lanka, we would definitely book him again. "
"Literally best driver, he driving is calm and easy going after 2 weeks of crazy drivers hhh his driving was so calm I managed to sleep on the way, he will explain about anything you ask and more, he asked us to bring his wife with him and we said yes it was so amazing they’re cute couple and he had someone to take to all the journey as well, we booked the elephant orphanage trip with him and he was so great that we personalize our trip and even after we agreed on everything we change our plans on the same day we decided to stay much longer in the orphanage and to cancel rhe tea factory and the forest, and we didn’t regret it, because we had the chance to feed the elephant and have luch over looking on the elephant in the river and after we bathed the elephant, and after we went to kandy. Amazing day
Thnx you very much "
