5.00The best company to work with. As soon as I booked the tour, they contacted me to confirm all details. My driver, Chanaka, was incredible, professional, a great communicator, a very safe driver, punctual, patient, and dedicated to making sure I enjoyed every minute of the trip.

4.00Worked with Janani to plan our entire 4 day schedule in Sri Lanka. Pros - Ramesh our driver/guide was excellent. He was punctual and helpful. - schedule was fairly flexible and they were able to accommodate as needed - car was always clean and comfortable - Janani was able to work with me to tailor the itinerary to our preferences Cons - Wished to see the Elephant orphanage but ended up seeing a transit home. This was nice too but not what I had requested. - payment through the trip was expected in cash which was a surprise - provided Janani feedback that this should have been made clear via having to run around the city to find a working ATM. Overall, I give them a 4/5.

5.00My tour guide, Suranga Wedikkara, was truly the most outstanding, attentive, and professional guide I’ve ever met. His excellent driving made long journeys comfortable, and he was always warm, punctual, and eager to help with any need. Throughout the trip, he shared fascinating insights into local culture, food, history, and daily life. In Galle, he explained the colonial past and tsunami stories, and when I was soaked from feeding sea turtles, he quickly found a shop for dry clothes. Knowing I love photography, he often stopped at scenic spots and never showed impatience. On the long drive to Ella, he suggested I rest in the back seat, and his smooth driving let me sleep well and avoid motion sickness on the winding roads. As a solo traveler, I especially valued how he took photos for me at each spot, even composing shots thoughtfully. Small gestures—like handing me cold water exactly when I needed it—showed his care. I’m very grateful for his guidance and highly recommend him!

5.00The tour was not Japanese-speaking and I was on my own, but my guide Oshan was very friendly and helpful. They responded to all my requests and I had a great day. It is highly recommended because you can efficiently go around the sightseeing spots in one day.
