“Our tuktuk driver Nawfer was excellent and looked after us very well. The tour was exactly as we expected but in addition he tweaked the order and timings to enable us to have Sri lankan lunch at a restaurant that he recommended. We had tried Sri lankan food back in the UK and it was great to eat in Sri lanka. Thank you Nawfer. He found a less crowded place for tea tasting which was appreciated.
