We went to Sigiriya with Dushan and had a great day exploring. Dushan got in contact before to arrange pick up and make sure we had everything in place. He also asked us what else we might want to see so we could adapt the day to suit us which we really appreciated (for example, we stopped at a spice garden on the way back) He had good knowledge about the history of Sigriya and the cave temples and looked after us well. There was a lot of driving and he was a great and safe driver so we were more than comfortable the whole trip. It was great to have a personal guide rather than be part of a big group and we would definitely pick Dushan again for any future trips and tours!
Our two days with Deshan were by far the highlight of our trip to Sri Lanka. He picked us up in Kandy and took us through beautiful scenery, waterfalls, and stops as we headed to our ultimate destination in Ella. This included a perfectly timed and fun train ride. He took care of absolutely everything. Including arranging a stay at a really well-located hotel in Ella with the absolute most incredible view. We only wished we would have stayed longer! (I recommend you do this in 2 nights...much more to do) The hike on day 2 was one of the nicest hikes we have done. A bit tough on the incline, but totally doable. Nothing crazy hard. But most important to note, Deshan was hands down the best tour guide we had in Sri Lanka, and one of the best throughout our numerous travels. He was very nice, fun, answered our million and one questions on Sri Lanka and religion/history. I couldn't recommend him enough! We will definitely reach out to Deshan when we come back to Sri Lanka. Especially because we realized how much more we have to see...and we were here a full month!
My husband & I enjoyed the time with Anoj. We can talk almost anything just like friend. He arranged the activities for us at reasonable price. Like entrance fee, Yala Safari, whale watching. I know of some guide make a hefty profit out of it. At times, the day before, I decided to change my itinerary, of course within reasonable distance and time along the way, he is accomodative. He also brought us to reasonable places for meals. Knowing that we cannot take spicy food, he always ensure eateries have both local food in case we want to try and western cuisine. When I run out of LKR, he went round looking for it along the way despite a public holiday. Together with his driver partner, we really enjoyed the whole trip with Anoj. Thank you Anoj for making our trip memorable.
We had a great day out with Rohana! He was an excellent driver (not too fast!) and was very insightful about all the different places we went to visit, as well as any general questions we had about Sri Lanka, it's history and culture. Would definitely recommend Rohana.
