December 3, 2023Best guide in Sri Lanka – If you want to come to Sri Lanka and have the best experience possible i can’t recommend Mahesh enough! He didn’t force us to anything and respected our itinerary but… read more he took it to a whole next level. He took us everywhere safely, took planty beutiful photos of us, and showed us places we would have never find without him. Every places he recomended us were emazing. For example the oldest tea factory, herbal garden, village safari and secret lagune with waterfalls. He told us planty interesting facts about Sri Lanka, was able to arrange tables in beautiful restaurants, and hotels for way better prices. His main concern is that you enjoy your vacation as much as possible. If you come to Sri Lanka definately take Mahesh as your guide you won’t regret it!

August 18, 2023Ideal way to Travel Srí Lanka – If you want to travel Srí Lanka and see as much as possible you definitely need your driver and Mahesh is perfect for that. He listens to your itenerary and… read more proposes some places to visit during the way and it’s up to you if you want to go there or not (but I recommend you to listen to him, always took us to amazing places).
He is very kind, funny and reasonable person who tells you a lot of information about Srí Lanka and you learn a lot about this beautiful country.
Thanks to him we enjoyed our vacation maximally.Coastal57932522128

A family trip with fantastic Mahesh – We had planned a first family trip to Sri Lanka for Easter 2019, which we decided to cancel due to the events at that time. Five years later, we picked… read more up the itinerary from back then: Galle, Tangalle, the central mountains, Trincomalee, Habarana and the cultural triangle, then Negombo. We found a fantastic country, welcoming and easily accessible with 3 children aged 9, 7, and 4. Mahesh played a big role in this success: a driver and guide recommended to us by a friend, Mahesh is friendly, discreet, efficient—he goes out of his way for us, knows all the best spots, drives safely, and knows how to stay in the background! We were the ones who booked all our hotels, and he managed everywhere to find his own accommodation. We highly recommend using his services.

November 14, 2023Unforgettable experience – We met Mahesh by accident when me and my friends had a rooms at his place. We were just looking for some taxi and his wife introduced us. And honestly?… read more He made our trip turn 180 degrees.
He tried to make out trip the best. For instance he was able to arrange us really charming and cheap accommondations. Recommended us really amazing, local restaurants and came up with new and hidden places to visit. What really matters – Mahesh listens to your wishes and all mentioned things above were just his proposal, ideas. He’s able to fullfil everything you wish for, like for real.
He’s so warm and fair person who takes his job really seriously and responsibly.
If you ever visit Sri Lanka I would definitely recommend you this man. I can say he wasn’t just our driver but he became our friend during our time in Sri Lanka.Tour03914206239
