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.

I visited Polonnaruwa in April with my family. We did not have any plans of hiring the services of a guide. However, after visiting the museum close to the ticket counter, we realised the importance of having a guide given the vast size of the ancient city. Right outside the museum, we met Don Nuwan. He agreed to guide us around the city. Don Nuwan is knowledgeable and passionate about history. He explained the historical significance of every site, staying close to documented facts without trying to add any unnecessary dramatic stories. My wife is a student of history and archaeology and she really appreciated his attempt to stay as close to documented history as possible. He even drew maps and layouts of the city in the sand, helping us get a better understanding of the scale of the ancient city. While we had agreed for a specific duration, he took us to almost all the important sites in the city, going over and above the agreed time limit, without asking for anything extra. He truly made out trip to Polonnaruwa memorable due to his knowledge and passion for the city's history and his ability to narrate it in an engaging manner. I highly recommend Don Nuwan as a guide to better understand Polonnaruwa's ancient history.

I always try my best to make each visit both informative and memorable, so your words really encourage me to continue doing what I love. Wishing you and your family many more wonderful travels ahead. I hope to welcome you again someday in Sri Lanka! Warm regards, Don Nuwan Artistic Sojourns with Don Nuwan

Mr. Don Nuwan was a great guide for us at the Polonnaruwa Ancient City Ruins! He is very thorough, knowledgeable and enthusiastic about his job. He took us around more places than other guides and spent more time explaining to us the history of the place, answering questions etc. He also spoke good English. I would strongly recommend him!
