About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- 629mudassarm0 contributionsAwesome guideHad a wonderful time in Colombo, thanks to Mr. Feroze. He is a wonderful guide and driver. The car was good and comfortable, he speaks good English and has a wonderful knowledge of the city. He was very helpful and cooperative as he took me places not included in the tour. 5 stat serviceWritten February 28, 2025
- GoPlaces417018021650 contributionsGreat overall Experience with Feros!We got to know Feros through PickMe and traveled with him from Colombo to Sigiriya. Everything went quickly and smoothly and he told us a lot about the country. He also showed us a local restaurant with very good curry along the way. We were also able to book a driver through him several times during our three-week stay in Sri Lanka, even at short notice. He always took care of everything and there were never any problems. We can recommend anyone to use his services!Written February 25, 2025
- Karl H0 contributionsOur tour guide was a young man named Abdul. At 25 years old he seemed to be beyond his years. In wisdom. He watched our backs aAbdul picked us up at 7:30 a.m. near the cruise terminal. He was running late due to a flat tire but that was not a problem because he is a great young man. He helped us all day during each stop making sure that we are understanding what the locals were telling us and protecting us from any underhanded situations. We felt very comfortable with him chatting as well as his guiding skills, talking about his family and his plans for the future. He asked about our family and we told him about our children and grandchildren. He helped take pictures during the day, often standing and waiting while we went through sites that did not involve him being on site. He was at hand with comfort and water. He helped to calculate the conversion between Sri Lankan money to US dollars. He helped us with finding a reasonably priced place to eat lunch on the way to the elephants. Stayed with us the entire time that we rode elephants in the river. He was nearby. Taking pictures and protecting our belongings. I could not think of a better guide or a nicer young man. My wife and I both appreciated everything that he was able to do for us and with us.Written February 23, 2025
- B2359CBangelaw0 contributionsThe Very BestIt can be difficult travelling alone as an older woman but from the moment I met Aashik at Colombo airport all my worries faded away. On the way to my hotel in Negombo he stopped and bought and paid for a SIM card for me and changed my currency. I spent the next 3 days in his and Althaf’s company…they helped me to climb Pidurangala which I couldn’t have done without than. Aalshif arranged the most amazing jeep safari with the best guide in Minneriya National Park. We saw elephants from one month old to full adult. These boys have treated me like royalty and I will always treasure the memories.Written February 22, 2025

I have elderly family members as part of the tour, the guides were so attentive to our needs and goes above and beyond to make our experience exceptionally comfortable and memorable,Written February 20, 2025
- scottkI3855HG0 contributionsGreat local tour companyHad the pleasure of using kingfisher tours on this trip. The team know the area very well. They are fun and know all the best things to include. I liked this tour so .much, I booked 2 more tours with them through out my visit. Thanks team.Written February 19, 2025
- G9835FPmichellem0 contributionsTuk tuks in ColomboThere were a group of 8 of us and I booked the tuk tuk trip before travelling. My husband is a wheelchair user so we also hired another tuk tuk for this to be driven around for us. Althaf Was our driver and he was knowledgable, good fun and lovely to have as a guide. He made our tour interesting and fun and listened to what we wanted to do, instead of insisting on a set itinerary that some companies insist of making you complete (jewellery shops, fabric shops etc). He fully appreciated the limitations of my husband and respected the fact that, at times, he didn’t want to fully explore at a stop off but I did. He balanced this incredibly well. Our wheelchair was well cared for in the other tuk tuk and we arrived back at the port in plenty of time for our cruise departure time. I’d thoroughly recommend this tour.Written February 14, 2025

- Traceylasz0 contributionsAwesome tour guidesOur guides, Althaf and Ruhuman, were exceptional. They drove us from Colombo to Sigiriya to Kandy to Nurawa Eliya to Ella and back to Colombo and they did so under challenging driving conditions and always with amazing skills, good spirits, kindness and care for us. We are so grateful for them. We saw so much and we had an incredible experience thanks to these two wonderful guides. We will remember them and our fantastic time in beautiful Sri Lanka forever.Written February 9, 2025
