A bad experience buying...

1.00A bad experience buying tickets. The agency handling the file in Sri Lanka initially told me that we had tickets booked for a train on August 10 at 12:15 p.m. before notifying me the day before that we had to change the schedule to a 2:00 p.m. train. We were supposed to receive the tickets the same day before 7:30 a.m., but we were only able to collect them around 12:00 p.m. And finally, the tickets were invalid because the agency had not written our passport numbers on the tickets. Nothing was right about this.
Great time, but a little stressful

4.00Tickets were arranged as promised. However, it was a little stressful not being guaranteed which class of service we would get and whether we would be able to sit together. Communication was a little challenging at times. However, in the end, it all worked out and we had a really good time.
A scare that wasn't

4.00When hiring the tickets, a Kandy-based Travel Enterprise was contacted by WhatsApp. We arrange delivery on the day of departure of the train journey at the hotel at seven in the morning. The day before we were informed about a new regulation by the Sri Lankan government and that we will be reimbursed. But several hours later they sent us by WhatsApp the tickets that they could finally get online. At all times they communicated with us by WhatsApp.

1.00Tickets booked EN had contact with Mahaweli tours a number of times via whatsapp. DE ticket would be delivered to the hotel 1 day before departure at 19:00. At 18:30 I get the message that they have not been able to get tickets. It is already too late to be able to EN cancel DE booking and get your money back, so now we have to wait and see if that will still happen. (Also make sure that your passport number will be on DE tickets if you do get tickets because they check strictly on DE train.) So I would not book with Mahaweli if you want to be sure of train tickets on DE desired day!
