I would like to commend both the bus driver and assistant for going above and beyond. The driver was the most competent and safe one I have ever experienced. He drove in some difficult situations and was always safe and calm. I am often nervous in buses on crazy roads but not once did I feel unsafe. The assistant Upul was also an absolute gem. Gave us flowers every day.. helped us on and off the bus.. filled our water.. just a beautiful man. Please make sure these men get the accolades they deserve.

gAdventures delivers what they offer and at a reasonable price. The itineraries cover all the places of interest with a great balance of being busy and resting - cultural activities, village experiences, local refuges for women (for example), temples and active outdoor activities. The CEOs are a fount of knowledge and you learn so much about the history and life of the people. The CEOs make sure the restaurants and other eating houses are of a high standard and no one was sick on the trip.
