My driver and guide, Mr AMILA Pathirana was excellent. Very up on the latest information and of the history of the whole country and the area of Galle where we went to. I really enjoyed the day. He also took me, at my request, to see the stilt fishermen. Very good driver as well.
Dear Sir/Madam, Thank you for the review. However, I believe that you have mistakenly placed a review on my listing. Because we don't have any driver called Mr. Amila Pathirana. If you can make a review on his tour, it will be a support to him. Thank you.
