Great vacation with very friendly driver - In January 2024 we made a 17 day tour starting at the airport of Negombo, and then via Mannar to Wilpattu, Anuradhapura, Sigiriya, Kandy, Kitulgala, Nuwara Eliya, Ella, Udawalawe, Sinharaja and finally Weligama. Our first contact was with Jay, who was one of the few people responding to our first offer request who actually took the time to answer our questions (and in excellent English). Also when the agreement was made he was always available to help with our (many..) questions. Our driver was Mahinda, who picked us up at the airport with a Toyota Prius. A comfortable car that was big enough for all our luggage (we were only two people but carried around at least twice as much as normal people). One thing to keep in mind is that like most sedans, the ceiling on the back seat is quite low if you're somewhat tall (1,90 m). The car was modern and equiped with seat belts, and Mahinda made sure it remained clean. He was always punctual (even though we were late most of the time), always friendly and flexible to adjust the schedule if we asked for it. Furtermore he is just a fun, friendly guy with a generous smile, we felt comfortable really quickly. Traffic in Sri Lanka is a bit chaotic, especially with busses overtaking everywhere at high speed and the constant zigzagging between dogs that are laying and walking on the streets. Mahinda, a former lorry driver, showed his experience and although he drove fast (within limits) we never felt unsafe. No unnecessary risks while overtaking and alert on traffic coming from all directions. In the meantime Mahinda still helped us look for anything along the road. Fruit stands that sold the fruits we like, good local restaurants, special animals, coconuts, and the regular stuff like ATM's and grocery stores. Mahinda was in general very helpful by the way, also helping us with our luggage, making sure we wouldn't pay too much for souvenirs, tours and food, booking tours for us and even taking pictures of us. This was the first time we had a driver on vacation, normally we drive ourselves. We were a bit afraid that having a driver would mean less privacy or freedom, but we did not regret it for a moment. Mahinda always kept his distance unless we asked otherwise, and was always genuinely patient so we never felt rushed. Besides that, it was really comfortable to be able to get in a car after an early sunrise hike and relax until the next stop. We could not have expected it to be as pleasant as it turned out to be with Mahinda though, when we parted in the end it felt like saying goodbye to a friend. No matter what your plans are, I promise you that your vacation will be better with Mahinda as your driver (and the support of Jay of course).
