Featured review

Matthew_L

We travelled around Sri Lanka for just over a week with Romesh, and we’re extremely happy with the service he provided. He was consistently on time, organised, and got us to each destination (Kandy, Yala, Galle and Colombo) smoothly, often earlier than we expected, which made the days feel relaxed rather than rushed. When we adjusted plans along the way, he handled it easily and without any fuss. He also had great local knowledge and recommended several excellent places to eat that turned out to be some of our favourite eats of the trip. Throughout the journey he was friendly, calm, and professional, and struck a good balance between being helpful and giving us space. We felt comfortable and well looked after the entire time, and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone planning a trip around Sri Lanka.

A professional transfer service.

Wayne_G, Jan 2024

The best part was the excellent communication in establishing the time and place for pickup with real-time updates. The car, a Prius, was comfortable; the driver, Arun, was polite; we made toilet and snack stops for convenience. Everything went well.

colleen_E, Nov 2023

The driver knew where we wanted to go and took us there and then drove us around Columbo with a few stops. Beware, they try to charge Us$20 passenger and US$10 vehicle for port charge but they collect from outside the port, we refused but they were not happy

Response from Host, Nov 2023
