Tharaka is the best and most knowledgeable tour guide I have ever had. He was very punctual, flexible and helpful and he adjusted the tour based on my likings. He shared with me so many interesting facts about the country, the local religions and traditions. If you are visiting Sri Lanka, this tour should be on the top of your list!

Had great time in this tour.. Even though our flight was cancelled on the actually planned day, contacted Rajeewa via WhatsApp and he made process seamless and he was really helpful with answering all my questions and made everything easy. We were picked up from the Transit Hotel and everything was ready to roll. Diyath was my tour guide and was so nice and he also waited for us while we were getting ready and had lunch in the Hotel. He was very knowledgeable and was able to provide history of the places we visited. Though we didn’t had much time because of flight delays … but he made sure we covered most of the places which are open. He explained everything very nicely and was very kind. Would definitely recommend to anyone who has a layover in Sri Lanka!👍👌

I was picked up from the hotel promptly. It was a Hindu festival and we visited the temple as well as 2 Buddhist temples. Also visited a food market and tasted several different fruits. Drove round to get a general idea of the city with several stops. Very relaxed and great information. Kumara had good English and was very friendly.
