Colombo Transfer to Kandy Transfer Destination Reviews

The journey was comfortable. Unfortunately we had to change our sightseeing plans because the journey began late. We were asked to be at the pickup at 8.30 for a 9am pick up.

WhatsApp communication was excellent. We booked the minibus but as we were the only people who had booked our particular service, they sent a car instead. A photo of the car and contact number for the driver was sent to me in advance. The car was comfortable and we arrived in good time.

When mini bus accidentally down, company arranged a private car to pick me up at hotel. Although I have to wait one hour, I still consider the company is responsible and willing to help.

We booked through 12go Asia as we have had good experiences when booking rail tickets. Despite the terrible typhoon and the destruction of the railway lines in Sri Lanka they provided refunds and excellent service. The price offered was better than any taxi company in Colombo and the driver turned up on time in a spotlessly clean car. Really delighted with the service and will now be using them for other transfers around Sri Lanka

I received a phone call asking me to come to the meeting point 30 minutes earlier, at 1:30. However, we didn’t actually depart until after 2:00. As a result, I had to wait for more than 30 minutes inside a car with the engine revving. I get motion sickness, so this was extremely uncomfortable for me. Also, the vehicle was not a van like the one shown on the 12Go website, but a regular passenger car. There are around 100 ordinary cars parked in front of the World Trade Center, and I had to walk around searching for it for over 10 minutes. There should be a visible logo, or the driver should stand outside holding a sign or a flag.

Train

Train is a often a great choice for long-haul travel especially if you opt for a night sleeper train with berths which will allow you to sleep all your journey through. To make the most of your train journey, choose the class of your ticket wisely.

Note that there are air-conditioned and fan-only carriages; private compartments for 2 or 4; hard and soft seats.
Though the upper class you get the smoother is your journey, often second class air-conditioned or fan-only sleepers are a good money saving alternative.

Van

Vans are a great alternative - or, in many cases - your only option - if you need to travel overland within one and the same province or neighbouring provinces or states. Vans ply the roads between Colombo and Kandy, too.

Things to remember: When travelling by van with huge luggage buying a separate seat for your suitcase or backpack is a good idea. Do not expect there is a roomy luggage compartment in a van - there is actually none and your fellow passengers are unlikely to appreciate your luggage stuck under their feet, alas.
