A wonderful experience

5.00I had a wonderful experience . Athula was incredibly informative, friendly, and professional throughout the entire journey. At each place we visited, he took the time to explain details and share useful insights, which made the trip even more enjoyable. He also went above and beyond to ensure I was comfortable—especially in the afternoon when he thoughtfully provided me with fresh local fruits, which was a lovely touch. Overall, it was a great experience, and I would highly recommend his services to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and courteous driver.
Totally recommend

5.00I had an amazing experience traveling with Pearl Lanka by Sachin Tours. From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized and stress-free.Sachin is an incredibly friendly, professional, and knowledgeable guide who truly goes the extra mile to make your trip special. He knows Sri Lanka inside out and always has great recommendations, whether it's hidden gems, local experiences, or scenic spots that aren’t part of the usual tourist routes. What impressed me the most was the personalized service. He was always flexible and happy to adjust the itinerary based on what we wanted. Even when we had specific requests, he managed to arrange everything smoothly thanks to his strong network and experience. The journey itself was very comfortable, and we got to see so many beautiful places along the way. Every moment felt well-planned but never rushed.If you're looking for a reliable, friendly, and top-quality travel service in Sri Lanka, I highly recommend Pearl Lanka by Sachin Tours. You won’t be disappointed!

5.00Athula was prompt, professional and wonderfully thorough with communication leading up to and during the day. Everything was well planned out and paced and we saw a good variety of things, learning lots about the traditional practices of Kandyan people, the region and Buddhism. The price was incredibly fair for a full day of private transport with a knowledgeable guide.
Excellent Day - Great Knowledge of the city and its sites

5.00We were picked up from our location and even though we were a little bit late Athula was patient and super flexible. He has a great knowledge of the city and its sites and was a great driver. We were provided with water and were able to stop when we needed. He even stopped off to get us some fresh coconuts. Overall fantastic day!!
