Booked land transportation only with airport transfers as well as touring different temples along Colombo, Kandy, Nuwara Eliya and Galle. We had a wonderful time for 4+ days with our driver Hemantha. He was alert to our very quirky needs (for e.g. pure vegetarian restaurants) as well as patient and understanding as I was traveling with my elderly parents, one of whom is disabled and required to be on a wheelchair. He was also accommodating to any last minute change in plans.
Hemantha helped our savor the local life in Sri Lanka as well, stopping at various food stand and the also encouraging us to try the local buffalo milk yogurt by the roadside near Matara.
The van provided was spacious and comfortable and if you are a larger group (6-8 people) it would also work out to be more economical than renting multiple cars.
Besides Hemantha, we primarily worked with Ema to schedule to itinerary and she was extremely prompt and responsive to our queries. I would highly recommend MySL travels for all your travel needs in Sri Lanka. If you are unsure, ask them and they can provide recommendations and would suit your plans.
