Sam the man!

Reviewed May 29, 2017

We had the most amazing holiday in Sri Lanka accompanied for nearly two weeks by the wonderful Sam. His gentle approach, his polite, calm manner made him the perfect driver and tour guide. His air condidtioned minibus was immaculate, cleaned every day with fresh ice ready in a cool box!. His knowledge of his homeland was excellent. We learnt a great deal from him. We travelled all over the island. He took us to Buddhist temples, markets, safaris and many local seafood resaurants. Nothing was too much trouble and he worked hard to make the holiday as smooth as possible considering there were six of us, all eager to get the most out of our days. We followed our children's cricket tour but he willingly took us off the beaten track, showing us the real Sri Lanka. His flexibility and good humour were much appreciated. We can not thank Sam enough and highly recommend him. He simply made our venture extra special in a most unasuming way. 

Thank you Sam!

School Parents Cricket Tour

We are slightly worried about being too detailed in our praise for Sam as we may find he is too busy and in demand to look after us next time we visit Sri Lanka. The plain truth is that Sam was fantastic - such a nice, thoughtful, knowledgeable and engaging guide and we loved him. We were one of three demanding couples following our children through Colombo, Kandy and Galle with various stops (cricket venues and tourist venues) in between. We had an absolute blast and notched up such happy memories. Sam's minibus was modern, really spacious and comfortable and even had to carry our drinks chiller (stocked and recharged with ice and a wheelchair for part of the tour. Sam knew about short-cuts, best viewpoints, best places to park for attractions and for lunches or loo stops.

God bless you Sam and we can't wait to get back to beautiful Sri Lanka.

Sam is the best guide we could have wished for: friendly, good company, excellent driver, knows a lot about Sri Lanka history. He is also relaxed, flexible and not intrusive, which we very much appreciated.
