GOOD review Damiya!!
A truly lovely man. He was incredibly kind to us and took us to the most beautiful spots along the way from Kandy to Ella. He also stopped wherever we wanted, and we even had time to do some grocery shopping along the way. We would highly recommend Damiya to everyone!!

Excellent way to discover Colombo otherwise
Thanks to Raju, our guide and tuk tuk driver, for an informative and fun visit. In addition to visiting emblematic sites and monuments, we had the impression of sharing for a few hours the lives of the inhabitants of the capital, in all their diversity. We recommend to discover the city differently.
