          Sri Lanka 🫶🏻
          Our private cab tour with Mr. Ek and Mr. Sampath was more than just transportation; it was an immersive experience that truly enhanced our visit to Sri Lanka. We traveled in a comfortable air-conditioned mini-van, which was perfect for the long distances we covered during our trip. The vehicle was spacious, well-maintained, and provided a smooth and relaxing journey. Whether you're interested in history, culture, nature, or simply seeking a peaceful getaway, Mr. Ek’s tours offer an excellent way to explore the island. Both Mr. Ek and Mr. Sampath brought a wealth of local knowledge, professionalism, and a warm hospitality that made every moment of the tour memorable. They were not only skilled drivers but also insightful guides, sharing fascinating details about Sri Lanka’s rich heritage and hidden gems along the way. Their careful planning, attention to detail, and flexibility ensured that we had the perfect balance of sightseeing and relaxation. From scenic viewpoints to cultural landmarks, they made sure we experienced the best of what Sri Lanka has to offer. I highly recommend booking a tour with Mr. Ek for anyone visiting Sri Lanka. Their exceptional service and personal touch made our trip unforgettable!

          6 day trip around Sri Lanka
          Amazing experience with Ek. We reached out to him to plan our 1 week trip all the way from Colombo. We covered Mirissa, Ella, Nuwareliya, Kandy and drove back to Colombo. Ek helped us arrange the travel from day 1 of reaching out to him, he was helpful, responsive and extremely professional and transparent about the plan and the cost. He helped us curate the itinerary and we were very excited about our trip. Our actual trip was nothing short of amazing. We had a great driver, Janaka, who knew all the places. The car was very comfortable and we always felt safe and happy with our plans every day. Would totally recommend Ek and his company, thanks so much for having us in your beautiful country!

          Dependable Cab Operator
          Used the cab service for pickup from Colombo airport to Kandy. On another instance used for a drop off to Belihoya. On both occasions complete professionalism was seen by the driver. Satisfied with the service

          Great experience with all the places you want to see
          Great experience. The driver will drive you to all of the places you would like around Kandy and allow you as much or as little time as you need at each place. The driver also gives you options to pick and choose where you would like to go. The tea factory and the gem museum were our favourites as they were so interesting and informative. The guides here were also great. Our driver was also so lovely and friendly too. He also had an umbrella for us when it was raining which was so kind!

          Central and South Srilanka tour!
          Hello, many thanks to EK for organising our Srilanka holiday. Service and support provided by them has been exceptional, given our booking came at the last minute. Special thanks to Mr. Upul, who was our chauffeur. He has been a pleasure to travel with and has always been there, whenever needed. He is very gentle, kind and welcoming. The travel agency has also organised wales watching and other activities for us at the last minute. Only disappointment was the Pedro Tea Factory, where the tea we tasted at the site was exceptional but the BOP tea powder we bought at an exorbitant price did not meet half its standard. Upon retrospect, we should have read their reviews before buying the tea powder.

          Five-star service
          Five-star service, Sri Lankan style! E.K & Janata wasn't just a car company-driver, they were our island adventure buddy. Punctual, friendly, and always a step ahead, they whipped up magic with insightful local tips, foods and flexible plans. From secret spicy snacks to hidden waterfalls, we saw Sri Lanka beyond the guidebooks. Respectful, professional, and always up for a chat via all communication channel, These guys made our trip unforgettable. Can't recommend them enough!

          Truly exceptional experience!
          We are so pleased with the services of this company. We booked a car and driver for our 9 days in Sri Lanka and were able to explore so much of the beautiful country. EK was so helpful throughout the booking process and assisted greatly with organizing the itinerary. He checked on us during our trip to make sure we were always satisfied. Ruwan was our driver and he was truly exceptional! Such a pleasant individual with so much knowledge. He took such good care of us during our trip, and provided us with the best recommendations (food, shopping). Ruwan tended to all of our needs to ensure we had a wonderful experience. He made our experience in Sri Lanka an unforgettable one. Highly recommend this company! We will definitely be using them again next time we visit!

          Good travel Experience
          Four of us visited Sri Lanka. As a new traveler, we have little idea about places to visit except some important ones. They provide us exact tour plan and cost. Thanks to EK. We took the van with A/C. It is comfortable and well decorated. Appreciate their efforts to make our journey enjoyable and smooth.

          Highly recommended
          I highly recommend the service. It is super professional and honest. We got an written offer before getting to Sri Lanka, so we exactly new the price and all the conditions. Car is new, clean like a brand new, with A/C, so the ride is very confortable. The owner and the driver are extremely kindly persons. They took care of us throughout the whole trip. If we wanted they recommended us very worth visiting places. In particular I enjoyed visiting Kandy with the owner and driver. We were given help once entering to several tourist in order to avoid being robbed. There were no problem that we were changing ideas about our trip almost every day. Once we did, we were given help and new advices. Highly recommended. Maksymilian (Poland)

        I had an incredible experience with this company. It was an spontaneous trip and we were not sure what to do. Ek gave suggestions for the itinerary adjusted to our budget, and was willing to arrange any requirement to make the trip easier, from accommodation, to restaurants and tours. The driver, Chamara, was extremely polite, interesting and fun. I will definitely would like to hire their services again.
