Sampath is the perfect guide. A very safe driver and extremely kind. He took us to Ella and even stopped to buy us some local snacks and sweets on the way. He helped us organize the transport for our whole onward journey. Thank you again Sampath!

Sampath was our driver. He has a lot of knowledge about the country and likes to tell about it. We really enjoyed this. Great experience!
We first met Sampath back in 2018 when my pregnant partner and I were on holiday in the South of Sri Lanka. He was our transportation and guide between the key landmarks in the south of the country. We were blown away by his kindness and attentiveness so when we returned 5 years later with 2 kids in tow to tour the North with some friends and their 2 toddlers he was the first port of a call! He helped us arrange the trip and came along for the full 2 weeks. Travelling with toddlers isn’t easy but Sampath and Vinod were brilliant with them, having regular stops and activities to keep them entertained. The transportation between each place was smooth and comfortable and they often went above and beyond to make sure everything was ok. He speaks great English and is very knowledge about the country. If you are ever looking for a guide in Sri Lanka then please contact Sampath as he will be sure to look after you. I hope we get to see you again friend!
