Unforgettable Sri Lanka Tour with a Fantastic Guide

Reviewed November 13, 2024

Me and my partner had an incredible two-days tour in Sri Lanka with Praveen, a fantastic guide who made our experience unforgettable, not only was he knowledgeable about the history and culture of each stop, but he was also incredibly flexible and supportive when our plans unexpectedly changed. Whether it was adjusting our itinerary or helping us navigate some last-minute requests, he always had a positive attitude and ensured everything went smoothly. I highly recommend his services to anyone visiting Sri Lanka!

Much magic

Reviewed June 4, 2023

Sri Lanka is full of magic, said Praveen at the beginning of our tour. I will show you...

From tropical fruits in a fishing lagoon to the colours of the moonstone plains in the morning mist. From the elephants on our first safari to a rare sighting of a leopard that crossed our path like a cat crossing the road, wild deer and the little bee-eater bird at Yala to the sunset and traditional cookery and a boat trip complete with woven flower necklace and leaf hat, to an electrifying thunderstorm and the sight of our first firefly in one of the classy hotels Praveen booked for us,  our tour was indeed a magical journey.

Praveen is an excellent driver and a knowledgable and experienced guide. He is always on time and flexible to your needs and requests such as our requests for Yoga and Ayurvedic massage. Praveen is a calm and unobtrusive presence who gives helpful advice.

As a Mum and daughter visiting Sri Lanka for the first time, Praveen revealed to us much magic Sri Lanka has to offer.

Sri-Lanka trip

Reviewed May 13, 2019

Первые пять дней на Шри-Ланке ездили по острову вместе с водителем Praveen. Машина - toyota, седан, кондей, всё комфортно. Водитель очень аккуратный, соблюдает ПДД, везёт плавно (даже иногда слишком медленно). По дороге показывает интересные места, рассказывает интересные факты. Полные пять дней стоят 400$. Всё включено (бензин, платные дороги, еда и ночлег водителя и тд). Водитель тебя сопровождает почти везде. Приемлемый уровень владения английским. Пунктуальность на высоте. Помог с билетами на поезд. В машине есть зонтики.

Great safe, kind and friendly service would recommend

Reviewed December 20, 2018

We chose our own itinerary for 4 days of touring in south Sri Lanka but checked some of our route and thinking by email with Praveen. He answered our questions quickly and helpfully and made suggestions about acitivities and things to see abd do. Whilst we booked our own hotels, he can also do this for you apparently which may suit some guests. His calm approach meant he was a steady and safe driver, especially impressive that my wife who gets travel sick, apart from the winding mountain roads had no issue with being a passenger. His knowledge was good and he would answer any questions and we appreciated his sense of humour and great laugh. Will book again on my return to cover the north next time. Would highly recommend.
