While planning to travel with my husband around Sri Lanka for the first time from the United States, I found Mr Lalith’s driving service via TripAdvisor and reached out via WhatsApp — it was incredibly easy to discuss details with him. We had an unconventional travel schedule which he accommodated with ease; we had Mr Manjula for 2 days (Colombo to Galle, then onwards to Yala) and then the following week had Mr Lalith’s son Mishen for 4 days (Hatton to Kandy, then around Dambulla/Sigiriya, then to Colombo). Both drivers were excellent navigators (important on the occasionally chaotic roads of Sri Lanka!) and had clean, air-conditioned cars with ample trunk/boot space for our suitcases, were very kind and accommodating, flexible about pickup timing and stops, spoke English and provided great travel tips (where to stop for bathrooms, coffees, sightseeing, how to avoid potential scammers, etc). We felt safe and cared for the entire time, and felt it was excellent value — we could not have done this trip without them! Thank you for showing us around your beautiful country!!! We can’t wait to come back.
