Wonderful trip with a super guide
We had a 18 day trip with a veey good guide, Randi! He knew within a couple of days exactly what we wanted to see and do om our round trip. He provided us with a lot of information about the country and ots ways. We felt safe in hos car as he is a very careful driver. When something unplanned happened, he would inmediately arrange a solution for us, always helpful and kind. We are very satisfied and can recommend Randi for wonderful trips in Sri Lanka!

Great tour
I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to Gayan, my private driver, for his support during this trip. He carefully planned a great itinerary, taking into account the hotel location he booked and even the movements of the elephants. It really made our journey worthwhile and unforgettable. In particular, I was very helpful in setting the schedule with my 9-year-old child in mind. If I ever visit Sri Lanka again, I would love to nominate Gayan and confidently recommend him to my friends.
