We reserved transport-only for a self-designed whirlwind 3-day tour, and Andrew Noyahr was assigned as our driver. Andrew was just fabulous, can't praise him highly enough. We visited Dambulla Caves, Wilpattu National Park, Anuradhapura, Minneriya National Park, Sigiriya Rock, and Polonnaruwa; everything was flawless. Although Andrew was meant to be a driver only, his English was excellent and he provided plenty of guide-like information. He also suggested one out-of-the-way lunch place that was just terrific (Priyamali Gedara near Polonnaruwa, reviewed separately), but he was not at all pushy. We would use Andrew again in a heartbeat, and we recommend him highly to anyone needing a driver while visiting Sri Lanka.

My family and I met Andrew when we booked to go to the Kosgoda sea turtle conservation centre through Viatour, from the outset he was warm, accommodating and full of knowledge. Nothing we asked for was too much trouble, and he adapted the trip to adhere to our wants and needs. 

He is also an exceptional driver, especially because Sri Lanka has some chaotic roads. Following this trip we asked Andrew if he would be our guide for 3 days around Kandy. 

He was able to take us to many interesting stops en route to our destinations, which nicely broke up what otherwise would have been tedious journeys (upwards of 4 hours one way). I can't recommend Andrew enough if you are thinking of travelling to Sri Lanka. 

This was our first tour with a Driver/ Guide of our own so we had been unsure how this will work and how it would be spending our time with just one other person for 8 days.

Already the tour planning was quick and easy – so Andrew gave us some good advices in advance on how to set up everything to make the most of our trip.

It was a pleasure to meet Andrew personally and from the very fist moment he was warm, courteous and friendly. Nothing was ever too much trouble for him and he looked after us wonderfully well. He always starts the day with a laugh, sought to find out what we would like and organises everything in the best way.

Also he is very good driver – we always felt safe and in good hands with Andrew.

Along the tour he gave us much interesting information on the Sri Lankan way of life as well as on places we were passing through. Also he accompanied our sightseeing’s and walks what we really enjoyed.

So the time we spend with him was most enjoyable. He was very friendly, good company and a very knowledgeable tour guide. We would have absolutely no reservations about recommending Andrew.

I can unequivocally say that the absolute highlight of our entire Sri Lankan holiday was Andrew himself. 

So warm and friendly and incredibly knowledgeable.  An excellent driver and guide, we always felt safe and well cared for in his hands. There seems to be nothing he doesn not know about Sri Lanka, and there is almost nothing he won't do to make your stay memorable and comfortable. "No Problem!" is his personal mantra. He has spent a lifetime mastering the "Art of Delighting"  as he puts it.  

He willingly joined us at our insistence for nearly every meal and every activity that was practicable. He was delightful company. Helpful, informative and funny. He (and his family) are so warm and wonderful, and he is of course an outstanding guide. Your enjoyment and happiness is his greatest reward. 

I have actually urged friends planning to visit Sri Lanka to alter their dates to fit Andrew's schedule if necessary as he will simply make it that much more special than it already is. 

We love him and are honoured to consider him a friend (and we stay in contact to this day). 

Sincerely, Brad, Lori, Kaliana (12) and Kaden (9), (Canadians living in Sydney Australia). 

We spent 3 days with Andrew in the area of Anuradhapura where we had a perfect cultural overview of Sri Lanka and its old civilizations.

We asked Andrew to built the trip and he organized something very interesting. We visited the Anuradhapura's site in bicycle and it was a good mix between culture and sport.

Andrew is a very attentive, courteous and open-minded person. He knows perfectly its country and also the right persons who will make you discover the unspoilt places of Sri Lanka. And its english is perfect.

We really thank him for all the good memories we will keep from Sri Lanka and especially the amazing luck we had to see a bear in the Wilpattu National Park !

We firmly recommend Andrew.
