That was our second tour with Ran in Srilanka. We came back after 9 years to see more of Srilanka what we haven’t seen before. Ran is very reliable and thoughtful guide. Very safe driving and providing a lot of information. Very helpful and trying to help in every situation. We truly appreciate his efforts. And recommend to everyone coming to Srilanka.

9 days of great service from Ran, beginning with picking my family up from the airport in Colombo, being ever so patient with us and our young children (boys aged 10 and 9) as we worked our way through jetlag tantrums and disorientation - he was always there to guide us and to make sure we had nothing to worry about. Nothing was too much trouble for Ran, and he adjusted his plans and his route to accommodate the needs of a young family. We had prearranged our own accommodation and route and only contacted Ran about a month before our arrival - but in hindsite we wish that we had taken some advice from him before we booked our trip - he knew what we were likely to enjoy and what we might be better avoiding - but in any case he expertly guided us around the Habarana/Sigiriya area, the hills south of Kandy, the area around Ella (including tea plantation visit), some secret waterfalls and then down to Tissa for dual safaris (afternoon and the next morning) which he arranged for us with a trusted local driver, and we were even treated to the rare sight of a leopard! In terms of the experience, Ran drove extremely cautiously and safely and we remarked a number of times that we were glad that he was driving and not us! We also learned a lot from Ran about Sri Lanka and its history and culture, both at the various sites we visited as well as various conversations as we drove along. Ran showed lots of daily gestures of kindness, including buying little sweets for our boys, or saying good morning and goodnight to us every day. Our family grew very fond of Ran as the days rolled on, and we slept soundly knowing that whatever problems cropped up (as they inevitably do on an adventure holiday) Ran would know what to do. So he was far more than a driver; he was a friend. We’d happily recommend him to anyone!
