We organised very last minute and the team put together our itinerary and managed all of our operators seamlessly. The real standout was Anushka who was so friendly, professional, understanding and always there to make sure we arrived on time and safely. It also helps that he had such a genuine energy and enthusiasm.
Nawal is a super experienced driver. He drives very safe, also with a nice flow and tempo. Me and my friend booked Nawal for a whole daytrip. He showed us so many beautiful places in just one day. He takes really good care! We had some stops for having a lunch our share some fruit on vieuwpoints. He knows a lot of the history of Sri Lanka and shares all the information you need. We had a really great time! He has a very special place in our memories and our hearts! Ayubowan!
