 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Sanju has given us a really great time in Sigiriya! He showed us a lot of places. We had a massage, saw a traditional dance show, went to a temple and climbed the Pidurangala Rock. He explained a lot to us about the country. And beside that was he a really friendly and nice guy. You should definitely book a tour with him!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. the best in Sri Lanka, always ready and kind to us throughout the trip. he explained many interesting things to us during the journey. After just one day spent together you can consider him a friend, he is always available and has a rare kindness. Another thing, among the most honest prices on the island. I hope to meet him again one day!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. we have used Ceylon4You’s taxi service a few times now and it’s amazing! Sanju is a great guy who was able to show up or get us a car on incredibly short notice! we also had a trip from Sigiriya to Kandy with some sightseeing on the way, and it was a great time.
highly recommend

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What a great Driver. Very reliable und friendly. Not only someone who drives you from A to B, but someone who tells you with joy (if you want) about his beautiful homecountry Sri Lanka. After one ride with him, you will call him a new Friend. Also great and fair pricing. I would highly recommend him/them!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Via de accommodatie van Sanju z’n ouders, ontmoette we Sanju. Wat een geweldig mens! Samen met onze 3-jarige beklommen de Lion Rock en Sanju hielp ons daarbij en ging gezellig mee. Ook heeft hij ons een aantal keer gebracht en gehaald met z’n tuktuk. En hetzelfde voor familie van ons, die wat later aankwamen in Sri Lanka. Altijd fijn contact. En de kids kregen een mini tuktuk als aandenken, zo lief! Bedankt voor alles Sanju, het ga je goed.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Sanju was onze reddende engel bij het verlies van een mobiele telefoon.  Met al zijn contacten en doorzettingsvermogen heeft hij ons snel kunnen helpen.  Ook daarna werden verschillende ritten door hem geregeld en informeerde hij ook tussenin of alles naar wens was.  Een volgende keer nemen we zeker weer contact !!!
