    Krish spent five perfectly organised days with us on a tour of the mountain regions. It was a pleasure to travel with him. His calm, punctual, professional and relaxed attitude, and his beautiful sense of humour was the perfect compliment to the beauty and diversity of Sri Lanka that he guided us through. Couldn't have imagined or hoped for a more enjoyable tour.
