5.00First of all we would like to thank this company for arranging our tour at very short notice just 8 hours before the trip. The staff were very kind and kept us informed about everything perfectly. At first we planned to take the train to Ella but it was too crowded. We realized that if we traveled all the way by train we would miss the beautiful tea gardens. So we visited a tea factory and enjoyed the amazing tea plantations and scenic views along the way. We also had a delicious Sri Lankan rice and curry lunch.The food was excellent and the views throughout the journey to Ella were breathtaking. After arriving in Ella we decided to experience the famous train ride the next day for just one stop so we were able to enjoy the train experience as well. A special thanks to our guide Supun. He was very knowledgeable, friendly and drove very safely, making the journey comfortable and enjoyable. This was our second tour with this company because our previous trip with them was also excellent. Once again they provided outstanding service and we felt safe and comfortable throughout the journey. We highly recommend this tour company to anyone visiting Sri Lanka. Thank you for everything and for making our Ella day tour from Kandy a wonderful and unforgettable experience
