Set off 30mins late. Took 3hrs but there was a huge traffic jam in Matala; looked like it was a normal occurrence. Other than that, great.

Thé driver played really loud music, however he did turn it off when we asked. He dumped us in Kandy in a dangerous location. He was unfriendly.

All was fine with the pick up and drop off, maybe pick up a tiny bit later than the time frame given. The transfer though took over an hour longer, which is understandable with the traffic, but maybe could be included in the time frame advertised if the roads are always that busy.
