What an incredible time I had with this company last year. It was my first time doing anything like this before and I was pretty skeptical to begin with. After chatting on the website I felt way more relaxed and couldn't wait for the trip to start. The whole experience when I was in Thailand was just out of this world. The hotels, activities, experiences and all the locals we met on the tour. What really stood out for me was how friendly the guides were. Matt and all the local guides were just super friendly and they really were more like your friend than a guide or leader. If I had to choose my favourite day it would have to be the day we did the boat trip on Phi Phi. We had the tunes going and the weather was just amazing, we saw reef sharks and a turtle which just blew my mind (I have never seen a turtle before lol). I loved it that much I am planning my next trip with the company as soon as all this COVID stuff is finished. Thanks for a great time and making my first travelling experience so special x

We got our trip arranged very quickly via email, and the price was reasonable. Definitely cheaper than the prices you get from the street. And this was without haggling. We booked a trip from Budget Taxi Sri Lanka to World's End to Kandy, so it wasn't a standard two way trip either. The car had AC and we were comfortable. Our backpacks fit in the car nicely too. The driver was very friendly and drove safely for the whole trip. We stopped to eat in some tea factory he recommended and the food was very good as well.

I have contacted them for a safari jeep and they said they will arrange them for us. I took severals phone call and confirmed the session. Once I came to the venue they told, they even didnt answer my phone calls. I waited around 1 hour for them but they didnt get back to me. Feel like they are cheaters. Not recommended.

Our tour started with the pick up from our hotel at Galle fort. Roshan was so friendly and extremely informative. Had a wonderful day with new friends, enjoying the scenery and hiking the Rainforest. This should be in everyone's list when visiting Sri Lanka. Loved the added bonus of Tea factory visit. Guide Wigitha made the day amazing. Although no rain in the rainforest ,this day made the hike a bit less slippery, the flora, fauna and the waterfall -- all made a lovely day. One of our Dreams was to swim under the waterfall, and we got a chance to do it here. Transportation was comfortable and efficient, and the lunch was delicious. Would highly recommend this tour and also this tour company.
