“Thanks again for organising the trip. We had a great time and apart from the odd hiccup, everything went well. All of the people that we met were without exception incredibly friendly and helpful. Chathura as driver guide was excellent and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him. There is no doubt that we will visit the country again.”
