We'd like the thank Chathuri and Chula for a great service in the private ride from Kandy to Ambewela to get the train their to Ella. We had an early 5am start which wasn't a problem and as a result had extra time to stop in Nuwara Elliyah. Thanks again.
We had an outstanding experience with our driver, Amila Madushan from Mahaweli Tours. From Kandy to Ambewela, Amila went above and beyond to make our journey memorable. Without us even having to ask, he took us to incredible viewpoints, local attractions, and hidden gems that we would have otherwise missed. What really set Amila apart was his exceptional knowledge and genuine passion for Sri Lanka. As we travelled through each region, he shared fascinating insights into the local history, culture, landmarks, and way of life, making the drive just as enjoyable as the destinations themselves. Amila was professional, friendly, punctual, and always made us feel comfortable and welcome. It was clear that he genuinely cared about ensuring we had the best possible experience. We couldn’t recommend Amila and Mahaweli Tours more highly. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, trustworthy, and enthusiastic driver who will make your trip unforgettable, look no further. Thank you, Amila, for being such an important part of our Sri Lankan adventure!
We had an amazing day with different stops on the way. Our guide Amila madushan from mahaweli tours speaks very good english and knows alot the area. At different times he explained and gave us many insights. He dropped us on time off at the trainstation in Ambewela to take the train to Ella. We also booked the traintickets with mahaweli tours, which also went very fluently. I would definitely recommend this!
We had a great transfer with Amila Madushan from Mahaweli Tours. The journey was smooth, comfortable, and enjoyable from start to finish. During the trip, we stopped at a very interesting tea factory with breathtaking views, which made the journey even more special. It was a great opportunity to learn about tea production while enjoying the beautiful scenery. A special thanks to our driver for the safe and professional driving throughout the trip.
