We had Neel Lambert as our guide and driver from Negombo to Willapatu parl. Very good service and safe driving. Tony and Liselotte from Sweden
Neel from Sri Shannon tours did two tours for us, one day trip to Wilpattu national park and one over night tour to Mirissa and Galle. Everything was well organised, on time, friendly and flexible. Neel made all the arrangements and this was all reasonably priced. He was knowledgeable and helpful and happy to let us explore and dictate the pace of the tours (except for the timings for the Wilpattu jeep and whale watching boat in Mirissa which were set times). We enjoyed both tours and would recommend Neel for any of them.
Had a fantastic day trip with Sri Shannon Tours to Willpatu National Park from Negombo. Neel arrived right on time, and the drive was comfortable and had AC which was much appreciated. Neel was accompanied by his son Shannon and both were really helpful and friendly. The safari was great - we saw buffalo, deer, crocodiles, monitor lizards and were even lucky to see a Leopard! Neel went above and beyond to make our day comfortable and enjoyable, stopping at temples and to get some food on the way back. Thanks so much for a wonderful day, would definitely recommend Sri Shannon Tours!
Thank you very much your recommendation, Neel Lambert lambertneel@yahoo.com
