Unfortunately Sisira switched us to another guy called Shanta. 

Pluses: 

- nice guy with good English;

- comfortable car;

- punctuality.

Minuses:

- absence of history and area knoledge.  No knoledge of the view pionts, route structure, schedule and best timing to do the things, restaurant recommendation. It seemed that the guy was doing the tour for the first time;

- we had a car accident. The bus scratched our car and for 5 km our dricer was trying to chase the bus, breaking all the speen limits and road rules, overtaking all the cars and causing dangerous situations on the road. That was very scary.

- several times Shanta ordered the food or drinks in the cafe and escaped when it was the time to cover the bill.

Sri Lanka is beautiful. Make sure that you will enjoy it with the right person.

We booked Sisira 4 months back for a travel in August and our trip started with a surprise. He sent a driver to pick us up and were told that Sisira had a family urgency due to which he couldn't join us for the trip. Later we found out that he is attending a family marriage, something which cannot be urgently planned. The driver knew the route and places well but he was not a tour guide and didn't show any interest in explaining us about the places of interest and was more concernced about his own convenience.  Our second surprise was waiting for us in Ella where Sisisa made the booking for us in a so called best view hotel , which had the shittiest of rooms . Unfortunately, we couldn't find any other place at the last moment and had to spend our nights  in rooms with no AC or fans, thanks to this con.  Don't trust this person as  he can con you with his humble behaviour and you end up spoiling your whole trip like he did with us.
