Eddie drove us from Nuwara Eliya to Galle, he is a great tour guide! He stopped on the way to show us different sites and the most beautiful waterfalls. Thanks Eddie from the Aussie girls

We were not in the best of spirits when we met Eddie at the Nuwara Eliya train station as our train had been delayed several hours, but Eddie made us soon feel better with his humor and passion for his country as he and his driver took us to Galle (6-7 hour trip). I highly recommend Eddie if you are looking for a tour for a day, several days or even a week as he will show you the sights of the beautiful country!

I have known Eddie for many years he has arranged trips on rivers rides on elephants long tours to Trinco and air port pick ups etc
Now that the troubles are over in Sri Lanka there are many more guides springing up to take advantage of first time travelers Eddie has been going through the bad times and good times and he always comes up smiling He is honest and trustworthy and will do his best to make your trip memorable He is also very fit !!
You wont tire him out GO EDDIE !!!!

We are a family of 2 adults and 2 teenage boys and met Eddie by default as our driver had trouble with the car! Overall Eddie and his superb driver enhanced our trip to worlds end and the Mackwoods tea factory through there skills, knowledge, command of the English language and fun approach to what they must see every day. Of our 2 weeks in Sri Lanka this was the most engaging tour by far and we'd thoroughly recommend that you try Eddie first for any tour, day trip or dealing with special needs....couldn't recommend him highly enough.

If you're like most people you will arrive in Nuwara Eliya by the spectacular train journey offering some of inland Sri Lankas most beautiful scenery. When the train pulls in to the station there's a high chance Eddie will be there unless he has been booked in advance by someone reading this review.

I can not overstate how knowledgeable & professional Eddie is. He takes his clients where they ask to go but also offers suggestions that yo may like after having chatted with you to see what your plans are for the area.

Eddie gave me some great advice on where to stay that was cheaper & nicer than all the places I had already researched Online before going.

I did a Tea tour, a Photo tour, a Food tour, a Waterfall tour & a Dawn tour of the national park with Eddie. All were excellent & Eddie & his driver were happy to come pick me up at 4am in the morning when I requested an opportunity to Time Lapse the dawn one morning.

Eddie is great, English is exceptional, he's on time every time. Give him a try you wont find better!
