    A true ray of sunshine who lights up the room with his smile! Kind, generous and always down for a good time but always making sure everyone is safe and accounted for and that he is the last one home after the night

    I just wanted to give him a shout out as I think this group is not easy, most of them are youngters and didn't really listen to him. It was kinda hard to get their attention but he made it and managed it very well (Our group is lovely though. Well done, Mahengg️

    Mahen was amazing! He made sure we had everything we needed. He took time to explain to us about Sri Lanka and the cultural sites. He always let us know about the plans in advance and made adjustments to the plan when we needed! He was a really nice person to travel with and very understanding !

    Mahen was the best guide I could have asked for! He was always cheerful, his smile never left his face! He would happily take time for each of us individually when needed. Nothing was too much of an ask. He gave great recommendations and information about Sri Lanka and the history, was our go to photographer and hype man on karaoke nights. He always ensured we were safe and make a real effort to ensure we felt very much a little family. He went above and beyond for a traveller to celerbrate their birthday with cake, presents and decorations. The ending dinner he gave us a great recap on the tour as a whole and a small present for each of us. Mahen stands out above any other tour guides I’ve experienced.

    Mahen has been amazing and so much fun. Thank you for all your knowledge, patients and laughter. This tour has been full on, making sure we have visited everywhere and loved finishing with last few days at the beach and time to relax more. Thank you for everything! It’s been a time I’ll never forget.

    our stay at the flower garden in ella was not satisfactory. mahen kindly swapped rooms with me and my roommate as the hotel room (cottage) was dirty, damp, far away and covered in ants. we had to share a bed in the end which was unfair as the others had their own.
