Ramzan was a great driver! Really patient and friendly, he pointed out bits of scenery, stopped for the waterfalls and was happy to accomodate requests for stops that we needed on the way. He even got us a red banana as a snack each that we hadnt tried before. The car was very comfy too. 10/10.
We had a great experience traveling with Samith from Kandy to Ambewela. He was very punctual and polite and really friendly and kind. He even arranged an infant seat for us so that our 11 month old son could safely enjoy the ride and all of that for a good price. We definitely recommend traveling with Samith!
