Beyond his daily kindness and attention, Nuwan guided us throughout our journey and shared not only his perfect knowledge of the different sites but also more confidential and typical places of this country and also his daily advice.

We spent a whole week with Nuwan and made a very nice tour. Every day we saw exceptional sites and Nuwan took great care to explain the history of the temples to us in every detail. In the reserves he arranged with the guides to make us discover many things. A real tailor-made trip. Always friendly, always available, flexible and smiling, he drove with great caution. His knowledge and command of the wheel are impressive.
Magical journey and dream driver! I recommend Nuwan with his eyes closed.

We had an unforgettable eight-day guided tour of Sri Lanka. From the moment we arrived, everything was well-coordinated and professional. Our English-speaking chauffeur-guide Nuwan was outstanding—knowledgeable, helpful, and always made sure we felt safe and comfortable. The trip was full of highlights: sunrise at Sigiriya, elephants in Minneriya, the beautiful Peradeniya Gardens, scenic train ride to Ella, the Nine Arch Bridge, Mini Adam’s Peak, a thrilling leopard sighting in Yala National Park, and the charm of Galle. We also loved the local touches like curd tasting and fresh coconut water. Sri Lanka is a breathtaking country with lush landscapes, rich history, and some of the friendliest people we’ve ever met. Highly recommended!
Great chauffeur guide and with a smile
