We have just spent the last 4 days with Kosala travelling around the Cultural Triangle, and we genuinely felt very sad to say goodbye to him today when he dropped us at our next destination in Kandy. Not only is Kosala an excellent driver and guide, he is also the nicest, most warm hearted person you will meet! His communication is excellent and speaks with perfect English - he was even helping us learn a few Sri Lankan words as we travelled around. Kosala drove us around the Cultural Triangle, explaining everything as we went. He has great knowledge of all of the area and various sites, but also knows so much about the local wildlife - we were lucky enough to see an assortment of animals whilst driving with him from elephants to pythons due to Kosala’s very good eye! Kosala’s car was very comfortable and always immaculately clean, a pleasure to be driven around in! We really cannot recommend Kosala high enough - do not hesitate to book with him, you will not regret it!L889QBsimonr

Kosala is an incredible driver, guide, and person. He made our trip to Sri Lanka so special and memorable. It was evident that he truly wanted us to have the best experience and on multiple occasions went out of his way to ensure that we did! We cannot be happier with our time and the service we received, and feel that we left Sri Lanka with a new friend. We booked him for transport on specific days of our trip, but he also does multi-day tours. His prices were fair and transparent, he was always on time and ready, and helped us arrange tours and plan our time. He has a wealth of knowledge on Sri Lankan history, culture, and sites, and answered all of our many questions. We felt that we had a deeper understanding of Sri Lanka because of him! Don't hesitate to book tours or transportation with Kosala!!juditah2020

I highly recommend Kosala to anyone interested in exploring Sri Lanka. Kosala was recommended to me by a friend who visited Sri Lanka 4 years ago, and she was also very satisfied. It was the first time I ever traveled with a private driver and it turned out to be the best idea, he was a great driver/ guide and at the same time very friendly, kidly person! He was very reliable and helpful. Kosala is knowledgeable about the country and recommened us many interesting places to visit. There's so much to see and do, and with Kosala's help the trip would be so much more enjoyable as you don't have to worry about all the logistics. He recommened us markets to visit, restaurants, trips and also places to stay when the hotel was not ok ... Great experience!!!
