Ruwan is the best!!! - Ruwan was incredible!! We had great conversation.
He was so considerate, stopping whenever we wanted to take pictures. He never rushed us and even stopped at the tea plantation, so we could have a tour. He made sure we got the best of our experience.
I recommend him to everyone!
Super safe and comfortable journey.
He got us there in good time and very safely. He also waited with us until our host arrived to check us in, which was so considerate and kind.

Great trip, great alternative for the train. - We had a great scenic tour from Kandy to Ella with Sandun. Despite the really bad weather on the road, we had a great day visiting Bluefield Tea Plantation, Ramboda waterfall and viewpoint, Nuwara Eliya and some temples. The car was comfortable. Sandun spoke good English and knew some information at each stop. Due to the weather it turned out to be a very long day, but most important is that he got us safe and sound to Ella.

Rushed and not according to itinerary - This really should be seen as more of a taxi service where you might get a few rushed stops on the way.
Had to call the driver since he was almost 20 minutes late for pick-up and did not contact me to let me know. They had only picked up one other traveller before me.
We had a five minute stop at Ramboda and Seetha Eliya, ten minutes at the post office in Nuwara Eliya and a tour of Blue Field Tea Factory.
We did however not stop at the waterfall, the Sri Baktha Hanuman Temple or the Damro Labookellie Tea Centre as the itinerary said.
The driver drove very fast and the guide rushed us through every stop besides the tea factory and hovered around. Also complained about helping travellers with their bags.
At drop off they claimed that the hostel was not accessible with car although we had driven through worse streets and hills in Kandy and we saw a car of the same make and model exit from the same street. So instead I had to walk up the hill with all my lugage.
Definitely opt for getting a train ticket instead!

Too fast - Our driver did not give any information, not very communicative. How long is the stop? Where are we?
He drove way too fast the last hour. A lot of us got car sick in the end and felt very unsafe.

Terrible trip - Terrible…
Nothing was as described.
No stops, no waterfall…
I do not recommend it to anybody..
It’s a taxi, not a program..
The driver was Pradeep, maybe other chauffeur can make a true program/trip.
The office give our refund, but it dosen’t make up for the lost experiense..
