Stay21295973256 · August 2026Amazing Local Guide
"We always have a feeling that the person who we have trusted to drive us around in a new country should be friendly and accommodative .. and trust me Kanthana was exactly what we thought abt .. he made us feel comfortable, guided us the properly , took breaks whenever we requested him and even we had a situation where my wife felt little nausea during travel and he ensured we halted until she felt fine .. very punctual and amazing driving skills !! We had travelled from Colombo to kandy to Ella to galle and we had reserved him for all our transfers.. We have already shared his number with a bunch of ppl planning to go to Sri Lanka .. sharing it here as well +94741891729"
