Super nice guy. Very helpful and good in English
Our guide Nishanther was very friendly and explained everything very well. It was a very enjoyable few hours. Would definitely recommend this trip!
Nishantha spoke to me spontaneously. He was very friendly and offered to show me a little more of the city. I could tell him at any time what I was interested in and what I was not interested in. He told me a lot about the island and offered me his help with everything. He is very respectful and has a good heart. It was nice to meet him on the first day of my trip. You feel safe with him and learn how it goes on the island. Thank you!
Thanks to Fernando for the commented visit of places to see it is more than just a guide his attention his kindness and humor make you have great times he is really a great friend to count on.
it was super cool. we watched a lot of different things. it was very informative and entertaining. the stop at the herbal garden doesn't have to be.
We had the most wonderful day trip to Kandy Botanical Gardens. Nishantha is very professional and excellent driver, and speaks very good English. As we drove along the scenic route which took 3.15 hrs to get there, he explained points of interest etc. We spent 3hrs in the Gardens and on our exit, he was there to great us, and return us safely back to Negombo. Well done Nishantha and Thank you, from Judith and Mark.🇬🇧🙂🙂
Nishantha gave us an amazing tour of negombo including temples, churches and the local way of life and food. Nishantha was very knowledgeable, he really does love his town and his English was very good.
Fernando is attentive and a great tour guide. We found him online and he surpassed our expectations. The tour is tailored to you and your needs. He speaks English and knows everything about the sights in Colombo. But it’s not just that. He took us to have a true Sri Lankan lunch and he organised tickets for us on the tourist bus. For an honest good price. He tries to show the beauty of the country and he does this with full trust en enthusiasm. It’s not about money, but about you having the best experience. He even came to pick us up early the next morning to bring us to the bus station. He has 15 years of experience, but has gone only just online. So show him some love and book this tour.
We are so glad we met Nishantha on our first day in Sri Lanka. He took us on a tour of Negombo, covering churches, temples, a medicinal garden and various markets. He was extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of Sri Lankan culture and history. He helped us arrange our onward travel for the next day. He went above and beyond to ensure we always felt safe and had a great time. I would thoroughly recommend his tours to anyone.
Just by coincidence we run into Nishanta outside our hotel. What a gift for our first day in Sri Lanka. He convinced us to go around to see some places in Negombo and was as flexible as possible. Also when we added a boat trip on the Canal, he was willing to join us although this was not agreed from the start. Everywhere he took us, he explained all about the sights in a clear manner and it was obvious he likes to take people around. Also had great humor which made it even a better experience. Really would recommend Nishanta to everyone visiting Negombo !!
