We were with Pradeep and his friend Ehmal, besides being two special people, they were also a guide who offered us an amazing view of their country, their culture, their landscapes and their traditions 🥰 we are really thankfull with them because they did all their best to felt us home and they really help us with some problems and changes we had during the trip! We really reccomend their as a guide, and we hope that everyone who visit these country may be as surprised and amazed as we are❤️

Best holiday ever

Our trip was simply amazing. We asked for Pradeep to be our driver for two weeks around the island. We already had a plan and we showed it to him and he gave us also some advice on the plan and on how to organize the days. Because of rain season we even changed the coast from south to the east (last minute) and it was the best idea because this way we enjoyed sun. Pradeep gave us also a lot of ideas on things to do, and if we asked he organized trips and hotels and adviced places to eat (all with honest prices). He was patient, very polite and taught us many things about the island. At first we were not sure if the best idea is to travel around with Uber or take a driver, but at the end of the vacation, a driver it's definitely worth it and in the end the cost is not so different. I could not recommend more Pradeep because with his help we had one of our best holidays. Thank you Pradeep for everything! 🥹

WORST DRIVER/GUIDE EXPERIENCE

The WORST driver/guide I've ever had. Pradeep assigned me to Kapila Bandara, one of his drivers. Less than two hours after meeting, we were already in a serious car accident with a motorbike (significant damage to car). Later that evening, Kapila ran over a dog on the street and didn't even stop to check if the dog was OK. From then on out, the driving was very bad. Kapila was frequently confused on directions, driving dangerously, missing turns, making u-turns in illegal areas, driving the wrong direction for 10+ kilometers, and eventually even asking me to be the navigator with my own GPS (which I did because he could not). Even worse, Kapila was disrespectful of my privacy and travel preferences, even noting at one point that "if I could afford these expensive hotels that I was staying at, that I should be paying him more." He would frequently borrow money from me for lunch, gasoline, parking, and at one point money for "a government fine he owed" -- this money was never paid back. He said that "all his guests would pay for him" and I was "the only guest in his experience who never paid for his things" even though Pradeep had promised "unlimited kilometers," "parking included," "tolls included," "everything included." It seems like he would promise everything then extort you for cash. In the end, felt very unsafe with him at the wheel. HIGHLY UNRECOMMENDED. Use at your own risk.

A Great Experience

Pradeep was the ultimate guide and tour facilitator. His driving and navigation were perfect. There was nothing to worry about; Pradeep took care of all of the details and was happy to adjust if I had any requests or desired changes to the itinerary. I feel like I had a complete Sri Lanka experience. Thanks!

An enjoyable Sri Lanka Holiday

Pradeep was meticulous and responded with lightning speed in answering our enquiries and clearing our doubts during our pre-trip planning. He offered good suggestions to allow us quickly finalized our 14-day itinerary. When we touched down in the wee hours of 19 August 2023, we was driven to Sigiriya, effectively starting our tour. A careful driver and his greatest strength had been to stay punctual at all time. An affable chap, & reasonably chatty at time. Most importantly is he is reliable. We will definitely recommend to our friends who need a driver-guide in Sri Lanka.
