Exceptional service and customer focused! Mr.Charith took me around for the tour, he was extremely professional, courteous and knowledgeable. We chatted along the way and I enjoyed his company. He also made a stop to the spice village which was not part of the itinerary. Highly recommended, they are an incredible travel agency.
