Review on sarath

Reviewed January 3, 2018

Actually, my friend who visited Sri Lanka recently recommended another guide. We were discussing the rates. He was not agreeable with the same rates offered to my friend. However, since my friend recommended his driver as very good, I decided to proceed with the pricing. However, the agent was not very responsive to queries via email and whatsapp. So i did not feel very comfortable. So i decided to look for other agents and guide on the internet. Based on pricing, I narrow to about 3 guides. One of them is Mr Sarath.  When I emailed my queries, he responded very promptly. He also give further discounts when I negotiated. The best part is he was offering a big vehicle which can seat about 9-10 passengers with huge luggage space. However, the other agent recommended by my friend who charged higher only offer a 6 seater van. 

Before confirming with him, I also spoke with him over the phone. He was very polite and his English was very good. I was having a 10 day tour which require me to book 10 different hotels. My initial intention was to book them myself via booking.com. Sarath suggested some hotels based on the locations i am visiting and within my budget. I compared his pricing with booking.com. His price was cheaper than booking.com. After reading some reviews on the hotels, I took the hotels through him as well. It saved me a big headache of looking for 10 different hotels. 

When i arrived in Colombo, I was received by Driver Wickerama. He was very knowledgable. He is a experienced driver and guide. He was able to communicate in English and very friendly with my children. He stayed up late to accomodate to all our request. We didnt want to have the dinner in the hotels due to the pricing. Wickerama brought us to good local restaurants.  

I am happy with both of them. I will definitely recommend them to my friends. Probably I will visit Sri Lanka again and use their services.

We had an wonderful trip to Sri Lanka, thanks to Mr. Sarath's tour services. The response from Sarath was quick and the rates were reasonable. Saman was a very professional and safe driver, as well as a very kind person and nice to talk to. He was an excellent local guide and we learnt a lot about the country from him. Even though it was a short trip to visit Galle, Kandy and Colombo, I really loved the whole experience in Sri Lanka and would definitely like to come back again for a longer holiday. Saman deserves all the commendations possible. He was always there waiting for us, never late, and always tried his best to help us in whatever way he could. I will recommend Saman and your company to anyone who wishes to visit Sri Lanka. Best wishes of the new year from me to the people of your amazing country.

Mr Dharma was my guide cum driver during my period in Colombo and Kandy in Nov 17. He is a very patient, safe and skilful driver. He has also taken a lot of initiative to introduce me Sri Lanka and always so obliging with my request. I will certainly consider his service again in the future.

Also thank you to Mr Sarath who addressed all my questions patiently and promptly prior to my arrival.
