Kandy with Withlocals

"Deshan guided me for four days, during my time from Kandy to Galle, designing the trip to what suited me. I had a biggish itinery but with a short time. Deshan drives too, so this was brilliant logistically. We went up and down Adam's Peak and he was very understanding the next day when I was waddling like a penguin. He sorted the tickets for the spectacular scenic train ride from Hatton to Ella, as well as all the activities in Ella. The journey from Ella to Galle was long, but he broke up the journey with nice activities - waterfalls and visiting the Cinnamon Island, so you can see how cinnamon is produced and get your feet cleaned by fishes! Most of all, what's great about Deshan is that you can talk to him about anything; politics, history, culture, music, as well as find out what it's really like to be a Sri Lankan. He clearly loves his job and his country very much. It was a real pleasure to spend those few days with him. Highly recommended!"

"We made a trip from Kandy to the Adams Peak. He showed us not just the Adams Peak. We discovered a few other areas like a Tea Factory, went river rafting and he also told us much about sri lankan culture and animals! We liked it very much! We hardly recommend this guy to all people how want to explore sri lanka with a private guide!"

"Deshan is a good Guide. Timely, knowledgeable and very important climbing Adams Peak;encouraging. He knows a lot of the nature and good spots. A pleasant person and also important, as he is a former pharmacist, He can really help when you got injured by giving good advice and medication. We really can recommand him as a guide for Sri Lanka. We enjoyed and felt save."

"Deshan is an excellent guide. He was on time, professional, knowledgeable, and helpful. We had a great day and he exceeded my expectations."

"An excellent host who was considerate and understanding of situations as they arose. Allowed me to choose places that interested me but then offering his own expertise to guide me to see his country through his eyes. His choice of accommodation suited me very well and the hosts were excellent in their attentiveness and kindness. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience through vision, taste and culture in the short time that I had. Shelley- Lyn Harty Wagga Wagga NSW Australia"

"What a great couple of days my daughter and I had with Deshan. Have done my fair share of tours over the years and this guy knows what it is all about. Polite, knowledgeable, and extremely accommodating. Would not hesitate to recommend or use again when next back in town. It’s a great tour with Adams Peak (Sri Pada) a worthwhile experience. The early start is well worth the effort however be prepared for a work out climbing all those steps to the top. Deshan was a great support and excellent company. You will get to see wonderful landscapes and tea plantations a plenty including a couple of off the beaten track specials. Thanks for looking after us. Issy and John"

"Deshan is a terrific guide. Friendly, always in time, very knowledgeable about his country and the nature and above all very motivating. Which you need climbing Adams Peak. Next to that, as a former pharmacist he knows how to handle and advise when people get injured, because they did a miss step during the climb. We had a wonderful trip with him and will certainly recommend him to all of our friends that wants to climb Adams Peak in Sri Lanka."

"Deshan is a great guide. He showed us amazing spots trough Sri Lanka. I really enjoyed our 2-day trip with Deshan. Amazing guide who knows everything about his country. Thank you Deshan!"

"Deshan is a nice guy and gentle. Before taking the tour I had lots of requests. He answered everthing quiclky and fulfill all. He is a very positive person that I learnt a lor from him during the tour. All these days I was searching secret waterfall, but no one was super nice until I took this tour. The one she showed me just like paradise. He took care of us for everything. We appreciated all his effort. Thank you very much. I definitely recommend him to anyone!"

"We have really enjoyed our 2 day excursion with Deshan, he is a very active and happy host :) He could show us all the nice places, it was a great experience, we definitely recommend it!"
