We wanted to find out more about the cultural heritage of Sri Lanka and the kings that ruled the island before. This tour by far exceeded our expectations. The polonnaruwa archeological site itself was above all impressive. But besides that, this well explained, relaxed and clear english tour not only gave us the correct interpretations (or presumed assumptions) about the old ruins and how the monks and kings were living there. We truly visualized ourselves how the ruins looked before the destructions in the battles that have taken place. It also gave us a complete overview of different perspectives on buddism/hinduism and how the distinctive elements per belief, but also within buddism can be seen in the temples and statues/remainders. If you want a joyful, energetic and complete immersion into history, Don Nuwan is your guide! Of course it was a hot day in 36 degrees, but the tuctuc, carefully chosen shades, sri lankan local lunch snacks and wonderful explanations made the eventually 7 hours fully worth the time and visit!
Dear friends, Thank you so much for your incredibly kind and thoughtful review. It was a true pleasure and privilege to spend those seven hours with you, exploring the ancient Kingdom of Polonnaruwa together. I am especially happy to know that my stories and explanations helped you visualize the ancient city as it once was and understand the different Buddhist and Hindu influences reflected in its monuments. This is exactly what I try to achieve through my Cinematic Narration — bringing Polonnaruwa’s history to life. Despite the intense heat, your enthusiasm, curiosity and wonderful company made the day truly special for me as well. Thank you once again for choosing me as your guide and for recommending me so warmly. I sincerely hope the memories of Polonnaruwa stay with you for many years to come. Warm regards, Don Nuwan
Don Nuwan’s guided tour of the ancient kingdom city of Polonnaruwa was exceptional.

We had a few guides during our tour of Sri Lanka, but none were as knowledgeable and interesting as Don Nuwan. As a guide he frequently referenced the positions of different scholars in explaining the various sites of Polonnaruwa. This makes him no regular guide as he brings with him the discipline of a scholar and lecturer- and we felt so lucky to have him guide us through historic Polonnaruwa. Highly recommended. Thank you Don!

I truly believe that guiding is not just about showing monuments, but about bringing the history and people of the past to life. It was a pleasure meeting you all, and I’m very grateful that you chose me to be your guide. Wishing your family many more wonderful journeys and unforgettable experiences together. Warmest regards, Don Nuwan
We recently had the pleasure of doing a bike tour around Polonnaruwa with Nuwan, and the tour was absolutely fantastic! Nuwan is incredibly passionate and knowledgeable about the ancient city, and he really brought everything to life with his stories, knowledge and enthusiasm. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with him, and the experience simply wouldn’t have been the same without him explaining the history and significance of everything we saw. Nuwan also arranged the bike hire for us at a very reasonable price, and everything was sorted quickly and efficiently. A big thank you as well for the delicious rotti and refreshing juice! Thank you so much, Nuwan, for such a wonderful and memorable experience. We would highly recommend Nuwan to anyone visiting Polonnaruwa.

The most memorable part of the experience was walking and seeing how far and long the walls are.The complexity and the structure amazed me .The time was perfect and the atmosphere was a bit hot.The ruins was out in the sun so we were sweating a-lot(I recommend to bring water hats and sunblock)The admission fee was reasonable and not that expensive. -Owen

We had an outstanding experience exploring Polonnaruwa with Don Nuwan. His knowledge of Sri Lankan history, archaeology, Buddhism, and the ancient kingdom was exceptional, bringing the ruins to life with fascinating stories and context that we would never have appreciated on our own. He was professional, friendly, and patient throughout the tour, taking the time to answer every question and tailoring the pace to our interests. The explanations at key sites were clear, engaging, and informative. What impressed us most was his passion for sharing the history and cultural significance of Polonnaruwa. He helped us understand not only what we were seeing, but why it mattered. The tour was well organised, never rushed, and offered many opportunities for photographs and appreciation of the site’s beauty. If you are visiting Polonnaruwa, I highly recommend booking a tour with him.
