The driver I had been assigned by Direct Link did not have the decency to speak properly and was interested more in playing politics. He did not have a valid license and decided to go somewhere without informing at one of the tourist destinations. A cell phone with a good network allowed me to contact him and he was rude on the call as well. To all traveller's to Sri Lanka: Please verify if the cab driver cum tour guide these agencies assign to you are authorized and have a valid license. You can check which drivers/tour guides have a valid license by going to SLTDA website.
I would like to add here that the overall trip experience was good and the accommodation offered by Direct Link was good as well. The tourist spots I visited were mesmerizing.
