点评:14 day trip - Two friends on Tour
If you're planning a trip to Sri Lanka, then we strongly recommend you consider booking a driver through Sri Lanka Dream Yours! From start to finish, they have been professional, efficient, knowledgeable and totally accommodating of our itinerary ...
Our 14 day tour of the island was pretty epic; starting in Colombo we then moved on to Habarana, Kandy, Ella, Arugum Bay, Mirissa and Bentota, taking in all of the cultural, historical and natural sights along the way.
Without Harsha, our fabulous driver/guide, we wouldn't have seen or experienced half as much as we did ...
He took us to the best photo op spots, hired us the best and most daring safari driver (who gave us an incredible extreme close up experience with a family of elephants), sourced and booked a traditional indulgent spa afternoon for us, took us to tea plantations and waterfalls and orphaned elephant transit homes, just 'on the way' to our next stop...
When we received the email saying our Kandy-Ella train tickets hadn't been reserved, Harsha pulled out all the stops and managed to get us on the train, with seats in the driver's compartment!! (His connections really know no bounds!) We had our very own guide and photographer right there with us whilst Harsha drove our bags to our next hotel.
Harsha was sensitive and attentive to our requests; initially he made suggestions to us regarding a variety of 'tourist attractions', but as soon as he realised our personal ethical sensibilities (ie. turtle hatcheries and the bigger national parks which, reportedly, corral the elephants for viewing), he dropped these ideas entirely.
Harsha is a great bloke! Intelligent, kind, funny, and patient (especially when I thought I'd lost my passport 🙈). He is great company, a safe and proficient driver, a fab conversationalist (British sarcasm and irony not being lost on him, lol) and a super tour guide - what he doesn't know isn't worth knowing!
Seeing our WhatsApp group chat close once we returned home made my heart sink ... no more "Good morning ladies, I'm at the hotel, take your time and let me know when you're ready to go 🙏" ..., a realisation that our adventure was well and truly over, but oh, what an adventure.... !!
Thank you, Harsha 🙏🥰🙏

翻译:14 天旅行 - 两个朋友的旅行
如果您计划去斯里兰卡旅行,那么我们强烈建议您考虑通过 Sri Lanka Dream Yours 预订司机!从开始到结束,他们都非常专业、高效、知识渊博,并且完全配合我们的行程……
我们 14 天的岛屿之旅非常精彩;从科伦坡出发,我们接着前往哈巴拉纳、康提、埃拉、阿鲁古姆湾、美蕊沙和本托塔,沿途欣赏所有的文化、历史和自然景观。
如果没有 Harsha,我们出色的司机兼导游,我们就不会看到或体验到这么多东西……
他带我们去了最佳拍照地点,为我们聘请了最优秀、最勇敢的野生动物园司机(他让我们与大象家族进行了令人难以置信的极近距离体验),为我们寻找并预订了传统的奢华水疗下午,带我们去了茶园、瀑布和孤儿大象中转站,就在前往下一站的“途中”……
当我们收到电子邮件说我们的康提-埃拉火车票还没有预订时,Harsha 使出浑身解数,设法让我们上了火车,坐在了驾驶室的座位上!!(他的人脉真是无穷无尽!)当 Harsha 开车送我们的行李到下一家酒店时,我们的导游和摄影师就在我们身边。
Harsha 对我们的要求很敏感,也很细心;起初,他向我们提出了各种“旅游景点”的建议,但当他意识到我们的个人道德观念(例如海龟孵化场和大型国家公园,据说这些公园会圈养大象供人观赏)时,他就完全放弃了这些想法。
Harsha 是个很棒的家伙!聪明、善良、风趣、耐心(尤其是当我以为我丢了护照的时候 🙈)。他是个很棒的伙伴,一个安全熟练的司机,一个很棒的谈话者(英国的讽刺和反讽在他身上很明显,哈哈)和一个超级导游——他不知道的东西不值得知道!
看到我们回家后 WhatsApp 群聊关闭,我的心沉了下去……不再有“早上好,女士们,我在酒店,慢慢来,准备好出发时告诉我🙏”……,意识到我们的冒险真的结束了,但是,哦,多么精彩的冒险……!!
谢谢你,Harsha 🙏🥰🙏
