From the moment my driver Pandula picked me up, I knew I was in good hands! He was an excellent guide and gave me history lessons on Sri Lanka! He was with me every step of the way including whale watching, safari and even being nice enough to take me to the medical clinic to get antibiotics! I cannot recommend him enough. I had a great overall experience with CCTSL!! Thank you!
Sven –
great service, Everything went very easily. The driver met us directly at the airport and drove us relaxed with stops to our destination.

As a photographer, I needed permission to take pictures in advance. Everything was very well organised. The boat crew was fantastic and got us close to the whales quickly but without stress. Unfortunately, we also saw many boats heading straight for the whales, people jumping straight into the water and diving off the whales. In the context of sustainable tourism, we hope that this behaviour will stop soon. It simply requires a certain understanding for whales, which our crew conveyed.

We booked a 2 week trip with Cross Country Travels and had a private vehicle and driver for the entire trip. Our driver, Kalana, was the best! He was super professional, helpful, friendly and a very safe driver. He would tell us lots of information about things we saw during our drives across Sri Lanka, he was always on time picking us up, knew exactly where we were going and got us to where we needed to go. One time we were running late to a musical event because of traffic and he was able to navigate through traffic safely and down local streets in order to get us to our destination right on time, we were so grateful! The vehicles we had were always clean, air conditioned and well-maintained. We couldn’t be happier with the service that CCT provided for us and the price was very reasonable, so we highly recommend them!

CCT helped us with several drivers for our trip around Sri Lanka. They were always on time, super personable and great drivers. They gave us honest recommendations based on what we liked and we avoided tourist traps. Highly recommended!

We booked a 2 week holiday in Sri Lanka for a family of 6 from the UK.. and could not have been more impressed with CCT! Anu was professional, courteous, drove safely, and was friendly and fun to be around. I was really impressed at how he thought carefully about the things we might be interested in, and researched ideas and destinations for us before suggesting. He’s formed a wide network of contacts and broad knowledge of places across the island that he used to enrich our holiday and we felt luck to have him as our guide. I would highly recommend and we will definitely use CCT again the future.
