5.00Jeewan bhai was excellent throughout our 7 day trip in Sri Lanka, he was on time everyday, suggested other places more than what we planned,we gave hotel details each day and he coordinated with stay owner himself in getting exact location and other amenities before we reach the hotel. He suggested local foods to try out. He was great and kind enough to come with us for a Trek instead of waiting in a car, and he knows every places and locals to have our trip memorable with less responsibility

The driver is a golden person who makes himself available to and for every occasion. He made us discover enchanted places that we were not aware of. We had a lot of fun with him, he is a jokey, sensitive man with the right words in his mouth. We will carry it forever in our hearts. Fully recommend the tour with him and his fantastic car

5.00We had a great experience with our driver, Lakhsitha during our 9-day round trip holiday. He was extremely friendly, kind, and always helpful. He never got lost and could find everything easily even without GPS. He stayed with us the whole time and never left us alone. He always explained where things were and helped us understand how to get around. We felt very safe and comfortable with him. We really appreciate everything he did for us!

5.00We had an excellent 9-day family round trip in Sri Lanka last week and enjoyed the great service of our driver, Lakhsitha. He was acting rather as our guide not only as a driver. He was outstandingly polite, humbled, smart, friendly and nice, ready to address our needs on a flexible and prompt way in order to enjoy the best experience. He was very careful and focused in the crazy busy traffic and we always felt safe in his good hands. I am happy to recommend L’s services if you plan a trip in Sri Lanka.
The very best

5.00Our Tour Driver Lakshitha was wonderful with us. He was tireless on driving us around and guiding us. Helped us on how to take the most advantage on the Lion Rock in Sygiria, took us to a really nice Ayurveda Spa, showed us around in Kandy and took us to the best Tea factory in Nuwara Eliya. Always with a good spirit and very helpfull. When I return to Sri Lanka I will definitely want to go with him again. Thank you very much Lakshitha

5.00We had an excellent time touring Sri Lanka with friends. Our driver and guide Lakshitha planned the day and took us around, arranged for train and show tickets with good seats. He was always on time for pickup and will be there in the vehicle upon our arrival. He offered big umbrellas on sunny days. Very courteous and professional. I would highly recommend his services.
