Tara G2024-11-17Verified Professional, secure, and super thoughtful! Ishan is professional, thoughtful, and fun! He listened to what we were looking to do and fit it all in on our last day before taking us to the airport in Colombo. We saw important landmarks, enjoyed delicious local eats, helped us learn how to eat with our hands properly, (without laughing), and found us all the souvenirs we wanted, including local hopper flour. If you're going to Sri Lanka, contact Ishan! Anna H2024-11-15Verified Great company Recommended to me by a friend for easy travel north from Nilwella. They were courteous and on time. Super professional and friendly. Would recommend to anyone looking to travel between cities quickly. Yoko N2024-09-02Verified Definitely Recommended Through a friend who had previously traveled to Sri Lanka, we were introduced to Ishan. From the moment he welcomed us at the airport with a fresh flower necklace, our family liked him. He was always calm, sincere, and considerate, not only catering to my wishes but also suggesting many plans to entertain the children. My sons miss him so much that they keep asking to go back to Sri Lanka just to see him. The mugs he gave us are treasured keepsake. We are deeply grateful to him for making this trip so wonderful.
