      Inspiring 1 Day Tour in Southern Sri Lanka

      "Great trip. Raji, Anoj's brother, along with Arjun were on time to pick us from Colombo. Showed us all the main attractions on the route to Galle. Everything went really fine. Very accommodative people. Glad they gave us the option to customize our trip. Helped us with the train tickets to Jaffna as well. Also, way cheaper than similar trips offered by some other websites. Recommended!"

      Learn to Drive a Tuk-Tuk Like the Pros!

      "I booked a personalised tour with Dilshan, which is basically the tuktuk experience plus pick up and drop off in my hotel in Unawatuna. I enjoyed the tour immensely. As I like history and culture very much, he tailored it to what I like - skipping some things and adding more temples. It was a great surprise. Conversations with Dilshan and his brother in law, Harsha, were also very stimulating. They gave me great insights to the history of Galle Fort, bits of Ramayana, lessons from Buddhism, as well as everyday Sri Lankan life. I also got to meet their families; they were very warm and hospitable. The dinner was a normal Sri Lankan dinner (minus the chili!) and was very sumptous. I highly recommend Dilshan's tuktuk experience."

      Great authentic tour! Thank you Anoj.

      "Anoj ist ein sehr liebevoller und gut organisierter Tour Guide. Anoj hat uns mit einem Chauffeur von einem grossen Tempel über Brief Garden nach Galle gebracht und uns geduldig unsere vielen Fragen beantwortet. Wir haben durch ihn sehr viel über Sri Lanka erfahren. Der Abschluss war Ein Traum-Curry in einem lokalen Restaurant. Herzlichen Dank Anoj für diese schönen Tag. "

      Lagoon and Village Cycling

      "i had an amazing time with Chameera during his Cycle ride. He took me through a nice lagoon area with lot of wildlife Like eagles & Crabs & lot of other fish. Then to an old coconut mill which produces variety of related products. He took me to see one of the historical Buddhist temples which situated in Galle where i spent lot of my time relaxing to the clam nature. its was an amazing tour & the riding gear kit is awesome which makes sure the guest is fully protected. Chameera is a wonderful host and can tailor his experiences to suit you, where possible."

      Fabulous day with Dilshan

      "Dilshan tailored a tour to help us celebrate our silver wedding anniversary. From fresh flowers presented to me at the start to the delicious anniversary cake presented to us at his family’s home in the evening we had such a day to remember. Dilshan was very accommodating (we so enjoyed our unplanned stop at Galle cricket ground to watch a match and our local lunch!), the visit to the temple was very special, the tuk tuk driving a fabulous experience and another particular highlight was the delicious meal we had at his home in the evening. It was great to meet all his lovely family and try so many local specialities. Thoroughly recommend 😃 "
