The most knowledgeable driver in Sri Lanka!

Reviewed February 23, 2018

Ranjith drove us from Mirissa to Colombo and he was so good that we booked him to take us from our hotel in Colombo to the airport the following day.

His car is immaculate with great aircon, he is a safe and skilled driver who speaks excellent English and he is very fairly priced. He is also very friendly and  knows everything there is to know about Sri Lanka.

It was a shame we met him on our final day and a half in the country as we would have loved to have gone on a tour with him.

Fantastic Tour of Sri Lanka

Reviewed January 30, 2018

My partner and I have had the greatest pleasure of being chauffeured and guided by Ranjith for the last six days around the most beautiful places in Sri Lanka. He is an excellent guide, with an intimate and in depth knowledge on all aspects of his country, culture, wildlife, resources and history, which he obviously loves passionately. I cannot think of a better guide to show anyone around the country.

He is one of the most polite and considerate men we have ever met, with a great sense of humour and a beautiful smile. He offers information about his country, culture and wildlife all the time on the journey, always suggesting places to see things and pointing them out on the route.

Nothing was too much trouble for him including unscheduled stops to toilets, ATM machines, pharmacies and even a shop to purchase my first sarong.

As an advanced trained driver I consider his driving skills to be exceptionally good, especially on the often challenging Sri Lankan roads. He was always in control and his perception of other drivers actions was very good. The vehicle was kept spotlessly clean each day and I am sure that it was maintained daily to the same standard. He was always aware of the route and never had to consult a map or Sat Nav system. He was considerate enough to give advanced warnings of any upcoming adverse road conditions and always drove through these areas with the greatest care for the car and its passengers. Never once did we feel that our safety was compromised.

We will visit Sri Lanka again and Ranjith will be our first point of call - we would strongly recommend him to anyone looking to travel the country, we can't imagine anyone else to be any better than him.

Exceptional man, guide and driver

Reviewed October 6, 2017

We had the pleasure of taking a two day tour of Kandy & Sigiriya with Ranjith, which in hindsight was far too short. His depth of knowledge of the sites was extremely good and his passion for the history and traditions of the beautiful island of Sri Lanka come shining through. He is a very well spoken man and he relates facinating facts on a very wide range of subjects whilst effortlessly steering the car through a sea of three wheelers, cycles and buses which weren't always on the right side of the road! 

We couldn't recommend Ranjith highly enough, we certainly hope to go on further tours with him when next in Sri Lanka and would urge anyone who is considering visiting the Island to contact him.
