  • The Ultimate Sri Lankan Adventure reviewer 1
    · April 8th, 2025
    We had a great 4-night private tour in Sri Lanka with Keerthe as our guide, and he truly made the trip unforgettable. From the moment he picked us up in Colombo, his warm, professional demeanor and deep knowledge of the country set the tone for an amazing adventure. Keerthe expertly navigated us through a packed itinerary, starting with a Colombo city tour featuring Gangaramaya Buddhist Temple and Independence Square, before heading south to Galle. Along the way, he introduced us to unique experiences like the turtle hatchery and the Madu River cruise, complete with a cinnamon-making demo and a ticklish fish foot massage. His thoughtful planning ensured we hit highlights like Galle Fort, whale watching in Mirissa (where we spotted dolphins and a breaching whale), and the scenic 9 Arches Bridge in Ella. He was a steady presence on the winding roads to Ella, Nuwara Eliya, and Kandy, sharing insights about tea plantations, British-era architecture, and local culture. Keerthe’s flexibility shone through when he arranged a train ride over the 9 Arches Bridge, coordinated a tuk-tuk trip to Ambuluwawa Tower, and guided us through the Sacred Tooth Relic Temple in Kandy. His passion for Sri Lanka’s history was evident at Sigiriya Rock, where he explained the ancient palace ruins, and at Dambulla Cave Temple. Beyond his knowledge, Keerthe was patient, accommodating, and attentive—whether arranging an early-morning safari to see elephant herds or ensuring we had time to rest after long drives. The village tour, with its ox cart ride and home-cooked lunch, was a personal favourite. Over 550km and 15 hours of driving, he kept us safe and comfortable. One small suggestion: it would have been helpful to have more clarity upfront about the cost to enter each attraction and whether cash or cards were needed, as this varied from the original tour guidance and caught us off guard a few times. Keerthe made our trip a perfect blend of adventure, education, and relaxation. We’d recommend him to anyone visiting Sri Lanka—thank you, Keerthe, for an exceptional experience!

    We only had 6 days, this trip really gave you a taste of Sri Lanka. Aaron our guide was brilliant, helpful and informative, even arranging a separate excursion for one of our party who couldn't partake in a walk. Accomodation was of a high standard, food was lovely with a good selection
