I travelled to Srilanka for 10 days with friends in Feb. We got Vinoj’s contact from a mutual friend. I was still skeptical in the beginning before booking but from the moment we landed to our last trip day, Vinoj was so helpful. We travelled across southern srilankan beaches to Ella and then Colombo. His driving is great and he also accompanied us in some activities which enhanced the whole fun as having a local person really improves the cultural experience.
I would recommend Vinoj and his company’s services 100%. He is an asset and as professional as you get. He is an athlete so brings all the energy along. A great human being to have fun with while travelling. Wish all the Best to him 🙌

Vinoj is a fantastic driver and he accommodated every request that we made. He drove us to and from the airport and the city, stopping whenever we wanted food, drinks or just to use an ATM. He was so kind and he even decided to attend the cricket match with us.
Honestly he was 10/10, I don’t have a single complaint. He is amazing!

Vinoj was the kindest and the most helpful person in our 8 day Sri Lanka trip. He always went out of his way to help our group of 9 people. He showed us around constantly bought us coconut, food to try, suggested places. Couldn't recommend him and Nelum travels enough. If we ever come back to Sri Lanka, we will only be engaging in him. Thank you so much bro Vinoj, hope to see you soon!
