I had the pleasure of Upul’s company from Sri Lankan Dream tours on our 10 day trip across the island. SLDT was incredibly efficient and quick to organise a driver for us on only a few hours notice, who came fully equipped with a clean and modern Toyota Prius for our travels. Upul went above and beyond in catering to us, not only by making sure we were comfortable for our journey - he gave us essential information as a tour guide on non-tourist sites that others’ would have missed. Upul was crucial in helping us plan and liaise with our accommodation staff to ensure our (very specific) needs were met, without us even needing to ask. I’d highly recommend booking this incredibly affordable service (tolls, petrol, drivers accomm and car cleaning/maintenance paid for) and even more so: with Upul!Lillianal2014
