What a tour. Great value. Athula was a great guide and very knowledgable. He catered the tour to little things we wanted to do. He also took really good photos for us which was a great bonus.

Such a special day in...
Such a special day in Ella and Diyaluma falls- my favourite day that I had in Sri Lanka. Athu is an amazing guide and also photographer!!! He is kind, trustworthy, fun and knowledgeable. Thank you Athu for an incredible day, for being so patient, making sure I don’t trip over on hikes, and taking me to the best places!

Great experience
Athula goes above and beyond! We spent 12 hours with Athula and he showed us all the attractions and main tourist spots, as well as showing us some local treasures and neighbouring towns. He was very kind and genuine, and truly makes it a great and relaxing experience, exploring Ella and surrounding towns. He is very proud and passionate about his town. Highly reccomend to anyone in Ella, an amazing personalised experience, and much more genuine and relaxed than your stock standard tour and guide.

Best choice for a tour around Ella
Totally great tour with Athula, who picks you up right at the hotel and drives you to the main attraction around Ella in time, so you are still there in front of the crowds. This is comfortable, but what makes it really special is that Athula is a relaxed and totally friendly former, with whom you can laugh great and also entertain. We couldn't have hit it better! Tip: Not everything is predefined. Talk to him, he will adjust it exactly to your ideas and fitness level. We're not so super fit, he's included that.

Ella and Athu impressed a lot!
Our guide, Athu, was absolutely amazing! He took us across Ella++ and set the journey out of what we had already seen and not. Very local with lots of information about the places we visited and all the hundreds of questions we threw at him! We felt and very very very well cared for the whole trip, and he is the most beautiful in the world! Highly recommended!

Just really recommended. Best day of our trip.
The tour was Mega!! It was so fun with Athula. We thought at first we were just being driven, but he was so nice and kind and showed us everything. We felt so comfortable and the day was one of the best days in our 2-week Sri Lanka tour.This day we will never forget! Athula showed us places we would never have seen on our own and told us a lot about his homeland. The most beautiful was the sunset at the top of the mountains. In the end we didn't want to say goodbye..Thank you again for this unforgettable day! Who is thinking about booking this tour..we can really recommend it! Worth it! Vivi&Lisa☺️

The best trip to Ella 10/10. Highly recommend booking this trip to everyone.
Being my first solo trip to Srilanka, this trip to Ella was the most memorable so far! Athula is the best guide ans person I have met during this trip. We visited the little adams peak, the ravana falls and zipline, he took the best pictures to capture all my memories and even hiked with me everywhere including our trip to Diyaluma falls which was the highlight. Unforgettable trip to Ella with the best guide. Felt safe and had the best time.

More than just a tour
We wanted to take this trip for about a year, but our schedule didn’t allow it. However, this year it finally happened, and our trip was amazing! Athu is not a driver - he is a guide. He didn’t just take us from one landmark to another - he told us a lot about every sight and the local culture. Plus, he planned our tour based on our preferences. He managed to show us as much as he could and in the end, we had a very long 12-hour tour! And thanks for all the extras :)

A Day to Remember in Ella
We had an amazing day exploring Ella and the surrounding areas with Athula! From the popular tourist spots to a few lesser-known treasures, this tour gave us a really special and unique look at the place. It was the perfect mix. Athula was such a great guide – he speaks really good English, is super friendly, and has a great sense of humor, which made the day even more fun. The time just flew by because we were enjoying it so much! :) This tour was definitely one of the highlights of our trip to Sri Lanka. If you want a memorable experience in Ella, we can’t recommend Athula enough!
