He took to the famous Ella rock and adams peak, 9 arch bridge, had some lunch in Ella town and final stop was Ravana falls. It was three of us me, my boyfriend and Anoj. We enjoyed every single moment of our tour, Thank you Anoj. I would definitely recommend taking tour with Anoj

Uncomfortable

It was ok, our guide really tried. And we saw some landmarks so that was good. However: -There was also the tuktuk driver so us (couple) and guide in the back was too much and uncomfortable. -Our guide did not know the way and we drove the wrong way losing time. Also at Ella’s rock we needed another guide that we met (and needed to be paid) to find the right way up.
