wonderful

"excellent tour with chandu" Me and my daughter made a tour with Chandu during 5 days exploring the south of Sri Lanka. Everything worked very well and he was very receptive for our wishes. He guided us throughout and showed good knowledge in everything from Buddhism, animal life, culture to the social, economic and political context of Sri Lanka. We made a great friend in Chandu during our tour and hope that we one day can return to also explore the northern part of this beautiful country.

Best Local guide in Skri Lanka

If you are looking for a genuine experience of Sri Lankan landscape and culture, Chandhu is the right man for you! He accompanied us for a whole week in Sri Lanka making our journey as most comfortable and enjoyable as possible. He picked us up from the Colombo airport and took us to wonderful places, from the sea side to the centre of the island. Being from Kandy (one of the most beautiful city of the country), he was also able to give us a great tour of Sigirya and the surrounding area. I would definitely recommend him to everyone who's looking for an adventure in Ceylon!
