A wonderful experience

We had a fantastic private Tuk Tuk tour. Our guide was extremely nice and knowledgeable about Sri Lankan history and all the places we visited, including some highlights off the beaten track. He used to work within hospitality and was used to talking with tourists so his English was very good. He also guided us to buy some local spices and gave us recipes so we could make some local dishes when coming back to Denmark. All in all highly recommendable.
