Driver - Tour Buddy / Priyantha

Trip Rating

We visited Sri Lanka in November for a short 5D/4N trip. I found Priyantha on this website and sent him a message. The communication was easy, booking process was very smooth. Priyantha did not disappoint. He greeted us at the airport with a big smile and a sign with our names. The vehicle was a spacious van, which was a pleasant surprise, and very comfortable for us. Priyantha is an excellent tour guide, always on time, always smiling and ready to help. His driving style was immaculate and made us feel very safe even taking some very winding mountain roads. He was quite knowledgeable about Sri Lanka and able to answer all our questions. And finally, he is just a very nice person, type of guy who you instantly click with and feel as if you’ve been friends for years. We managed to see a lot of places during our short time in Sri Lanka and could not have done it without our wonderful tour buddy Priyantha.
I highly recommend him to anyone who wants to get the best service!
