"We loved our tour with Anoj! He was friendly and knowledgable and we had a lot of fun. He tailored the tour to what we wanted to do. The van was very modern and comfortable with excellent AC. The turtle hatchery was amazing and the baby turtles were adorable!"
"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!"
"What a brilliant day. We learned to drive a tuktuk and so much more. The tour of Galle fort was informative whilst not drowning us with information and it was fantastic to meet your family as well - thank you!"
"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."
"We had a great stay in sri lanka, especially the day we have learned how to drive a tuktuk! Dilshan and his family gave us a very warm welcome. We were able to see the sri lankan life through their eyes. The whole family has received us at their homes, that was really special. Diner was delicious :). Thank you for this great day!"
"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. "
"Dilshan is the ultimate local guide in Galle. Genuinely passionate about his hometown it didn’t matter where we were everyone's knew Dilshan. We’d walk around a corner with another person saying hello to both Dilshan & ourselves. Big highlight was a visit to the cricket stadium & meeting Dilshan’s family & visiting his local area. Thanks Dilshan for a memorable day in Sri Lanka. "
"We had a great day with Dilshan and his family. We asked if we could do a cookery course and Dilshan kindly offered to take us to his home where his mother in law would show us how to cook some traditional vegetarian dishes.
Following a tour in a tuk tuk, a visit to a temple, a spice garden and an old hotel, we were driven through the countryside to Dilshan’s home to meet his extended family. What super, genuine and hospitable people. They even reassured us when a 2 metre snake slithered through the garden (which is full of the most amazing flowers). After helping to cook the meal we were left alone to eat and then taken to a wide road and taught how to ride a tuk tuk. The day flew by - all quite surreal but we loved every second."
"We were fortunate to come across with locals and Anoj during our recent trip to Galle - Srilanka. Anoj was very professional in dealing with us and making our trip very comfortable and went extra mile in accommodating all our requests. "
"Anoj was a perfect guide. He took us to several temples, a moonstone mine and also for a walk on the Galle fort. Even when we desperately needed a good coffee (rare in Sri Lanka), he knew exactly were to take us! It was a wonderful experience! Thank you very much!"
