Driver: Jagath Tours / Jagath
Booked: 14 Days from Bandaranaike Airport to Bandaranaike Airport in Aug 2023
Verified Booking

We had a 14 day tour in August 2023 with Jagath in Toyota NC3474. What I particularly liked was knowing exactly who we were booking with, rather than be notified of the name of the driver after the booking.
Jagath is an exceptional driver and guide and we recommend him 100%. From the minute we booked with him we had great communication through phone calls and WhatsApp. Jagath is highly experienced, calm, safe, knowledgeable and friendly. He accommodated our families wishes, made a few suggestions to improve our itinerary, and always had ideas of what additional things to do along the way. We initially had reservations about booking a driver, but soon realised Jagath was far more than a driver, he was the complete travel and holiday guide. It meant we saw so much more of the country, learned about its history, culture and people. We were able to engage and meet with people so much easier, and it meant the travel was so relaxing. Nothing was ever too much trouble. As a family we were delighted to have him as our sixth member for our holiday and really missed him when we got back to the UK! I cannot rate Jagath highly enough. Book with confidence!
