点评:We were two couples wishing to combine a number of activities into a 2 day tour. We came across Shehan’s details on a board along Tangalle’s Medaketiya Beach so, unable to find anything online we contacted him to see if he could help. Wow! Without delay we were presented with a packed 2 day itinerary which ticked all the boxes - and was inclusive of fares, entrance fees as well as b&b - all at an unbelievably good price. We were able to adapt our itinerary during the course of the 2 days to suit evolving needs and Shehan and his driver were more than accommodating. Our trip included Diyaluma Falls, Ella tea factory, hill train and Udawalawe National Park - plus several other places we had to leave out due to time restraints or downright fatigue (e.g Adam’s Peak and the Elephant Transit Home). Everything about the trip was unforgettable and has created lifetime memories. Shehan is an incredibly personable young man who puts his clients satisfaction uppermost and we would thoroughly recommend his services👍.
Some words of advice for anyone travelling the Hill Country Train: firstly, get on the train at the first station (which we did) in order to get a window (or any!) seat. Secondly, by the second station the carriages are absolutely rammed with tourists (mostly Russian), who spend the whole trip trying to get their ‘Insta’ picture by hanging out of the doors and being filmed with no regard for fellow passengers. We won’t be rushing to repeat that particular aspect of the trip…
翻译:我们是两对夫妇,想安排一次为期两天的旅行,体验各种活动。我们在坦加勒的梅达凯蒂亚海滩边看到谢汉的联系方式,由于网上找不到相关信息,我们便联系了他,看看他是否能提供帮助。哇!他很快就给我们提供了一份内容丰富的两日行程安排,完全符合我们的需求——而且包含了车费、门票和住宿——价格更是令人难以置信地优惠。在两天的行程中,我们可以根据实际情况调整行程,谢汉和他的司机都非常热情周到。我们的行程包括迪亚卢玛瀑布、埃拉茶厂、山地火车和乌达瓦拉维国家公园——还有一些其他景点,由于时间限制或实在太累,我们不得不放弃(例如亚当峰和大象中转站)。这次旅行的一切都令人难忘,成为了我们终生难忘的回忆。谢汉是一位非常友善的年轻人,他始终把客户满意度放在首位,我们强烈推荐他的服务👍
给所有计划乘坐希尔乡村火车的旅客一些建议:首先,为了能抢到靠窗(或者任何座位!)的座位,最好在第一站就上车(我们就是这么做的)。其次,到了第二站,车厢里就挤满了游客(大部分是俄罗斯人),他们一路都在忙着拍照发到Instagram上,身体探出车门,完全不顾及其他乘客的感受。我们可不想再经历一次这样的旅程……
