Perera was fantastic - a wealth of information along with all of the sights to go with it. We came in at 12PM, he picked us up with a sign at arrivals, and took us out on a great adventure. We were back to the airport at 6PM, right on time for our next flight.

This was an excellent trip. Shimaz was an excellent guide. And the most amazing person to go on a tour with. He was very generous and accommodating, and we loved every minute of it. We highly recommend using him.

I was hoping for a good tour guide and I got a great one! Shimaz was very knowledgeable and spoke English proficiently. He showed us everything the tour description listed and then some additional sites which were absolutely outstanding. He even included a stop for local ice cream and a local textile venue. Thank you!

We had the most amazing tour with Priyantha! He went above and beyond to make sure we were fully satisfied. We wanted some specific food so he researched restaurants for us to find the perfect place for us. He tailored the tour so it was absolutely perfect for us. He is a genuinely kind and thoughtful person who loves Sri Lanka and is incredibly knowledgeable about the country. We learned so much from him. I can’t recommend Priyantha enough!
