Gazebo Tours - A* Driver and Tour Rep

Trip Rating:

Posted: 20 Jan 2023 by Maria

Esala from Gazebo Tours was our private driver/tour representitive for the duration of our 10 days in Sri Lanka, Decemner 2022. He was absolutetly fantastic. He was warm, funny, endearing and 100% authentic. I would without hesitation, recommend that anyone thinking of getting a driver/rep to use Esala. He had all the information we needed regarding activities but was not pushy in any way.

He picked us up from Columbo airport and brought us across to Sigiriya, where our unforgetable journey began.

The benefit of having someone like Esala is that you have expert information and trusted advice. We changed our plans a few times based on his advise and were able to pack more into our holiday than we had originally thought. He really does sort you out with a bespoke itinerary to suit your needs.

Esala had the perfect balance of conversation and quiescence. Thank you for making our stay in your country so memorable Esala! Until we meet again.
