We had a fantastic day trip, and our driver Mr Irfan made the experience even more enjoyable.

Along the way, he shared fascinating insights into the different cultures and religions of Sri Lanka, which really enriched our trip. He was also a very safe and careful driver. I would recommend this trip to anyone.

This tour included a drive from Kandy to Nuwara Eliya, with a visit to a tea plantation and factory, as well as several photo stops to admire the valleys and waterfalls along the way. Due to the rain, I was unable to hike at the waterfall, but my driver-guide arranged for me to attend a magnificent cultural dance show instead. It was an excellent experience overall. My driver-guide, Irfan, was punctual, friendly, and shared a great deal of information about Sri Lanka throughout the journey. The vehicle was new, clean, and comfortable, which made the trip even more enjoyable.

We had a fantastic day out with Mr Irfan which exceeded expectations. With just one day to explore the Kandy and Sigiriya area, we booked this trip to make the most of our time. Mr Irfan made the day go extremely smoothly and customized the itinerary to best to our interests, going above and beyond to make the day as enjoyable as possible. We learnt a lot, not only about Sigiriya Rock and Dambulla Cave Temple, but life in Sri Lanka. This day was a definite highlight of our trip and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the tour to anyone.

Our tour with Mr. Irfan was amazing. He was a very welcoming, knowledgeable and funny man. His time with us made the tour what it was, explaining how everything worked and shared his knowledge of each place we visited. From the Hindu temple in Matale, to Sigiriya temple, the Buddhist cave temple and our spice garden tour everything was a very positive experience. Thank you Irfan for an unforgettable day 🙏🙏

Irfan was a phenomenal tour guide. He arrived early and was incredibly friendly, informative, and helpful. He was a very calm and steady driver, and despite the winding roads to Nuwara Eliya, the journey felt very peaceful and relaxing: he clearly cared for and prioritised our safety! He was wonderfully vibrant and provided detailed explanations of each destination on the tour, as well as interesting tidbits about Sri Lanka's culture and history. This was definitely one of our favourite days during our trip - we could not recommend Irfan more! The sites themselves were absolutely breathtaking and the tea factory was incredibly interactive - a must-see for all!

Fantastic trip with Zameek to the waterfalls and Nuwara Eliya. Very safe driver in a clean and perfect car for the long journey. Nothing was too much trouble for Zameek, he took us to see things that many other tour guides wouldn’t have. Was always professional and keen to help and tailor our journey to our needs. Would 100% recommend him as a tour guide/driver. Thanks for making a long day very enjoyable and good fun.

I booked this at the last minute on my last day of the holiday and so glad that i did. The company got back to me immediately and confirmed. The driver confirmed the pick up time and he was on time. He was great on the trip. The two spectacular items are the waterfall and the tea plantation tour. The old post office is also very interesting. I loved the trip and it was not too long of a day. There is a climb up to the waterfall, quite steep and difficult but amazing when you get there, my pictures do not do it justice.
Thank you so much for this beautiful review — it truly means a lot to us. We’re especially happy you decided to book with us at the very last minute on your final holiday day, and even happier that it became one of your favorite memories. Our team always tries to respond quickly and coordinate smoothly, so it’s wonderful to hear everything was confirmed right away and that your driver was on time and took great care of you. Those highlights you mentioned are exactly why we love this experience too — the waterfall, the tea plantation tour, and even the charm of the old post office. And yes, that climb can be challenging, but the view at the top makes it so worth it — we completely understand what you mean when you say photos can’t capture it! Thank you again for choosing us and trusting us with your last day in Sri Lanka. We hope your memories (and those “unbelievable in real life” waterfall views) stay with you for a long time — and whenever you return, we’ll be here to welcome you back. Warm regards, Zameek
Adhil was great, there was nothing he would not do for us. He was very knowledgeable and gave us a great day. It’s a long but very beautiful drive. I would recommend this trip to anyone.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re truly happy to hear Adhil made your day so special and that you felt there was nothing he wouldn’t do to help. His knowledge and caring service are exactly what we want every guest to experience. You’re absolutely right — it’s a long drive, but it’s also a beautiful journey, and we’re glad it felt worth it from start to finish. Thank you again for recommending the trip. We’d love to welcome you back to Sri Lanka for another adventure! Warm regards, Zameek
Very enjoyable experience with a visit to tea factory and tea leaves picking! Waterfalls and the rest of the countryside were just amazing! Our driver Mr Shukry was friendly and professional.

Had another amazing day with Irfan! He showed us around and as usual he was going above and beyond, stopping at beautiful places so we can take a picture and take it all in. I can’t recommend enough! The driving was safe and calm. We had good chats about the Sri Lanka culture and festivals. Was nice to get to know the country a bit better but also our driver himself.
