EXCELLENT Based on 4 reviews Posted on Tamara ZVerified Srilanka holiday We had a great time in Srilanka. The driver was kind, flexible. Because of the weather we changed the whole initeraty and it worked perfect. Best experience.Posted on Rebecca cVerified Safe , the most loveliest kindest man We have just spent 4 incredible days touring Sri Lanka with Marlon and his driver, and I can honestly say it was one of the best travel experiences we’ve ever had. I was travelling with my 16-year-old daughter, so safety was extremely important to me. From the very first moment, we felt completely safe, comfortable and genuinely cared for. Marlon is such a warm, kind and thoughtful person — nothing was ever too much trouble, and he constantly went above and beyond to make sure we were happy and relaxed. He speaks perfect English and several other languages, which is so impressive and really shows how experienced and professional he is. He shared so much about Sri Lankan culture, history and everyday life, and it made the whole trip so much more meaningful. It never felt like a “tour” — it felt personal and tailored just for us. Over the four days we visited Udawalawe National Park, Mirissa and Hiriketiya Beach, and everything was perfectly organised. The safari in Udawalawe was absolutely unforgettable — seeing elephants so close in their natural habitat was truly magical. His driver was equally amazing — calm, professional and an incredibly safe driver. The car was spotless and comfortable throughout, which made all the journeys easy and enjoyable. More than anything, it was Marlon himself who made the experience so special. He is genuinely one of the loveliest people we have met while travelling — kind, patient, attentive and so proud of his beautiful country. We felt completely looked after from start to finish. If you are thinking of booking with him, please do. We are so grateful we chose him and would recommend him without hesitation. Thank you again MarlonPosted on Anja BVerified Trip to SriLanka We had the pleasure of traveling around Sri Lanka last December, and our entire trip was organized by Malen. From the very first contact until the last day, everything was perfectly planned – transportation, hotels, daily activities – and most importantly, he was personally with us throughout the whole journey. We were in contact with him for almost a full year before the trip while planning our itinerary, and he was always responsive, patient, and full of great suggestions. About a month before our arrival, Sri Lanka was hit by major floods and landslides, which meant we had to quickly change our travel plans. He handled everything calmly and professionally, reorganized the entire itinerary, and made sure our trip stayed safe and smooth. Thanks to him, we truly felt safe and well taken care of at all times. He is an incredibly kind, honest, and warm-hearted person who truly cares about his guests. Always smiling, patient, and attentive, he made us feel relaxed and genuinely welcome every single day. Traveling with children was easy thanks to his flexibility and thoughtful approach. What made our experience truly special was his deep knowledge of Sri Lanka – its culture, history, local life, and especially Buddhism. He didn’t just show us places; he helped us understand the country in a meaningful and authentic way. If you are looking for someone trustworthy, knowledgeable, and passionate who will turn your trip into an unforgettable experience, we wholeheartedly recommend him. We truly believe many future travelers will be lucky to explore Sri Lanka with him. Thank you again for the beautiful memories – we hope to return one day!
