Perfect option for not taking the train. Very easy, very nice. Would recommend! - It was a perfect alternative to the train (we didn’t get tickets, but found out it was delayed by 3h). Our driver was on time, he was very kind and looked after us. We got picked up and dropped off at our places, we stopped at view points, and we even had a tour in a tea factory. I would definitely recommend this tour. Perfect symbiosis between comfort and nice views.

Timely, comfortable, and reasonably priced taxi ride - I took this taxi ride from Nuwara Eliya to Ella.
Indika was well on time and very professional. The communication on WhatsApp was also very efficient and smooth.
The overall ride was comfortable.
The drop off and pickup was from door-to-door as promised.

Beautifully scenic, private drive with great driver who took care of us! Highly recommend to break up the long journey. - 10/10, Our driver Ayesh (I think, sorry!) was brilliant. His driving was great, he kept at a nice steady pace and it was great to break the long drive up with the stops. The tea tour was very interesting and the best stop by far, so great that it’s included. The park I would give a miss as you have to pay 600LKR each just to enter and it’s just a lake with people tryna sell you a “boat trip”. Very tired and groggy towards the end so completely forgot to tip, we feel very guilty as he did such a great job and deserved one. I would highly recommend this it was so beautifully scenic and a private experience to get from Kandy to Ella!

Minivan trip from Kandy to Ella - We had an amazing trip from Kandy to Ella. We were a bit sad cause we couldn’t catch the train, but this was a great substitute. The driver was so nice, and we made a couple of stops in the way that were really interesting like Nuwara Eliya and a tea factory. The trip takes about 5 hours, but doesn’t seem like that. We go home with a lovely memory from this journey 👌
