Chamil

It was reassuring that we could discuss everything in Japanese right up until our departure. Our driver, Chamil, also responded flexibly whenever we changed our plans.

Above all, his help with our delayed baggage from the outbound flight was invaluable. At first, we contacted the airline ourselves in English, but the luggage did not arrive as scheduled and we were at a complete loss. Chamil was genuinely concerned for us and communicated with the airline and delivery company in the local language.

Even though it must have been extra work for him, he readily offered to help.

Our child also became very fond of him, and thanks to Chamil we had a wonderful trip. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he is the reason we fell in love with Sri Lanka!

He was kind, well-presented and punctual, and kept everything running on time.

He was friendly and reliably carried out everything we requested. We had planned to visit Sigiriya Rock in the evening, but he learned that it would be crowded and suggested moving the climb to early the following morning, recommending Ayurveda instead. We enjoyed a comfortable climb the next morning and also experienced the Ayurveda treatment we had wanted, so we were very glad that we followed his advice!

Entrusting the entire itinerary to him made the trip extremely comfortable.

As this was a trip with my mother, I chose LankaMe because I wanted us to travel safely and with peace of mind. With a limited itinerary and few ways to cover every place we wanted to visit, I was very glad we booked the service.

Our driver, Chamil, was friendly and responded flexibly. Thank you very much!!!

We travelled to Sri Lanka right after a cyclone and had to make major changes to our itinerary, but thanks to Chamil it still turned into an amazing trip.
Because it was a three-generation family holiday, it was incredibly reassuring that he came with us for activities like climbing Sigiriya Rock and going on safari. When the schedule changes meant cancelling our original hotels and train tickets and booking new accommodation, he was always there to help, and we are truly grateful for that support.

He constantly gathered up-to-date information from various sources about road conditions and safety, and suggested the best possible routes at each moment. Those suggestions always reflected a real understanding of our preferences, so every single day was a lot of fun.

For meals as well, he took us to restaurants that only locals would usually know about (exactly the kind of experience we were hoping for), and we were thrilled. Every place he chose was delicious – it felt like one pleasant surprise after another.

He was always kind to our child, attentive when they weren’t feeling well or were sleepy, and we appreciated that so much. When our child was too tired to visit a temple, we felt completely at ease leaving them in Chamil’s care.

He is quick-thinking and endlessly considerate, and because all of that comes so naturally to him, both the adults and the children in our group ended up falling in love with Chamil and with Sri Lanka. The next time we visit Sri Lanka, we definitely want to ask for Chamil again.
