Overall great experience. Immediately after booking (34 days prior train departure) we received an email with a booking confirmation, however, it took very long until we received the ticket confirmation/voucher (11 days prior train departure). The shipping of tickets went smooth, however, we never received an email confirming the shipment of the tickets as it was mentioned in the ticket confirmation email.
So overall the train ride was superb, just a little bite nerve killing waiting for confirmation or hoping tickets will arrive:)

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.
Excellent driver sujith, arranged on rime, polite and good driving in traffic .

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.
Amazing service! Highly recommended the agency and the guide are top. Very reliable!

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.

Like always when we book through 12Go Asia everything was easy and arranged perfectly. Quick booking-process and proper instructions how to handle.
