Highly Recommended! Wonderful Guide and Perfect Arrangements - My guide Dinesh was wonderful.
I had to change my plans suddenly due to the cyclone, and I asked them to help rearrange my trip and guide me.
He took me to safe areas in Sri Lanka and suggested the best activities and sightseeing options available there, which was extremely helpful.
I really enjoyed the activities in the
southern area!
He wasalso very flexible with my requests for sightseeing and shopping in Colombo, as well as time changes. I truly appreciate their kindness and support.
Thank you for making my time in Sri Lanka so enjoyable!
I want to ask for him next time

A very good trip! - Excellent day with Krishan. We found the trip excellent value for money and Krishan adapted to our needs/wants from the trip without hesitation. He was superb, and it was a great trip to explore some more of Sri Lanka outside of Colombo! Highly highly recommend!

Krishan made our 3,5 weeks Sri Lanka round trip dream come true - Thank you very much Krishan for being an excellent driver and tourist guide for 3,5 weeks. You made our round trip in Sri Lanka a holiday to remember forever.
We are my sister and her two children and me with my two children.
I inquired for a sympatic driver that is good with children. You are much more than that. You felt very well when to be quiet and let us absorb the beautiful scenery and when to talk about your beautiful country when we were asking al those questions. You know so much about all aspects of your country and always gave in dept and relevant answers when we wanted to know something about Sri Lanka culture. Your company was very pleasant, the whole journey through.
To have you with your minivan always with us made the 3,5 weeks very pleasant. We never had to worry about safety. You always stopped whenever we saw something beautiful along the road that we wanted to take a closer look at.
Somewhere during the tour we passed your family house. You invited us for tea and dinner and your whole family welcomed us warm-heartedly. That's who you are too.
Thanks again Krishan. I wish you many more tourists that will enjoy your company and excellent driving and guiding.

Great way to see Sri Lanka - Krishan was an excellent guide and awesome service. This trip was only part of many tours for almost 2 weeks we were in Sri Lanka. Krishan offered several local recommendations and a great driver. Having your personal driver is a great way to get around Sri Lanka because public transport is not as frequent and the cost is reasonable. Galle is a beautiful little village with several restaurants near the cricket ground. Watch the sunset by the Forte and walk to the markets and restaurants. Also a close ride to the beaches.

Tour of Si Lanka - We had a wonderful 3 week tour with Krishan who took us all round Sri Lanka which we absolutely loved and will return to.
Krishan took care of me when I had to go to hospital, he spoke with the doctors and translated extremely well. We were very fortunate to have Krishan as his English and driving skills were excellent and we felt safe at all times.
