Faehliex2014-10-14 13:20 We (my girlfriend and I) spent one week with Raja as our driver mid September 2014 in Sri Lanka. Accomodation was organized on our own. I contacted him only a few days before our arrival and he was luckily still available. After the first email he replied within one day. Our plan was a tour through south west of Sri Lanka without a fixed route, only some places we wanted to see and the drop off fixed. Raja was supporting us with recommendations in advance as well as during the trip. Pick up at the airport was working great, he was already waiting at arrivals. Raja assisted us with the communication as well as for purchasing souvenirs etc. However, he was never pushing us to visit any particular place and left us in general a lot space. Raja was only supporting on request. We felt all the time comfortable and safe with him. His language skills are very good & we had no trouble communicating throughout the trip. We spoke English with him but he is also speaking four other languages. As a driver he was very reliable and picked us up always on time. Also traffic in Sri Lanka can be quite chaotic Raja was having overview and was driving defensive, he went slow and didn't take any risks.. Also for accommodation he was having many recommendations. However, we preferred to organize this on our own since our preferances were more on Guesthouses than Hotels. About the car, it is a Nissan Sunny with AC which is very clean, comfortable and reliable. It was working fine also on the steep and curvy way to Horton Plains. Long story short, I can recommend Raja without any hesitation.
