    Hasi has amazing knowledge and I can feel his passion for his country and culture when he explains the history of Sri Lanka. I loved the authentic Sri Lankan experiences we had and seeing how local people live. I also loved the sunrise hike. This tour is definitely for people who want adventure off the beaten track!

    Hasi was a fantastic guide! He provided us with so much information and I have learned so much about Sri Lanka. He knew the answers to all of our questions and I am leaving with so much appreciation for the country. He helped us with the tour in a very organised way and dealt with people’s requests and needs excellently and quickly. He was very enthusiastic and it was clear he was passionate about tour guiding and Sri Lanka. He to brought us together as a group and introduced us to Sri Lankan games, music and culture.

    Hasi was really knowledgable about his country and culture and the history of it - I learnt so so much on this tour! He was a fab tour guide and was always on hand to help us whether that was finding a pharmacy, helping us to literally climb the rocks and giving us recommendations for things to do / foods to eat. He is really passionate about animal conservation and the baby elephant sanctuary and turtle sanctuary was some of my top highlights. He was kind and fun and made sure we had an amazing 10/10 time in Sri Lanka.

    The Sri Lanka tour was absolutely amazing. And the main reason for that was our guide Hassi. He went out of his way to make this a memorable experience. He taught us everything we need to know to understand the Sri Lankan culture and way of life. Once in a lifetime trip. I’m definitely coming back. Big shout out to Hassi
