By far the best taxi ride of our entire vacation. Samantha, our driver, took great care of us and was very friendly. We felt very safe and had a pleasant ride. Along the way, he even stopped when we wanted to take photos of the scenery.

Driver didn't show up again, in spite of confirming the booking the day before with the company. The company sent an alternative driver after 1.5 hours. The driver drove much too fast, given the road conditions and recent land slides. Then asked us where the hotel was in Ella (we had no idea, we'd never been there before!) In spite of this being clear on the booking form. Then asked for payment at the end of the ride, even though we'd already paid via 12go.

We had a language barrier which was a problem because some roads were closed and driver couldn’t explain what he wanted to do. He was also driving a bit insecure and slow. We had other drivers before with the same agency and had better experiences with them.

We didn’t stopped at the mentioned stations. Only stopp was tea factory. The group didn’t buy something and they weren’t happy/friendly anymore. We waited 1,5h for picking up other people.
