You will not find a more thoughtful and caring guide in the whole of Sri Lanka. Tissa’s knowledge of the area and culture is exceptional. He shared the love of his country and way of life and we learnt so much. Nothing was too much trouble. We consulted with him before arriving in SL and he put together an individual itinerary to cater for our interests. We feel blessed to have met him and would highly recommend him as a guide or companion during any trip to Sri Lanka. Thank you Tissa, it was a wonderful holiday and it was all because of you.
We've had a great 2-days journey with Tissa. He is such a great and safe driver, knows about all the good and interesting places, speaks very good english, is such a lovely person, knows everything about history and country of Sri Lanka. It was so interesting to talk to him to get lots of informations. He brought us safely from Nilaveli to Kandy and further on to crazy Colombo. Thank you so much Tissa!
We spent three days with Tissa who was our guide in the area of kandy. He was extremely kind and really very attentive to the children. He was a force of proposal for activities we absolutely loved! For example, rafting. He also explained a lot about the history and lifestyle in Sri Lanka. He is also a very good driver, very careful. We really had a great time with him and he even gave my two children little memories which touched us a lot. If you are looking for an experienced and very friendly guide, do not hesitate to contact Tissa!
This tour was all perfectly organised thanks to our wonderful guide and driver Tissa. Our girls really enjoyed every activity… we managed to fit in all must-sees of the area smoothly while including boat ride, safari and visit of the village on a cart! Our visits were tailored to our family needs and particular requests. We will cherish this visit and the times with Tissa, who immediately felt like family and home. We highly recommend booking your Sri Lankan visits of the area with Tissa.
Highly recommended, a wonderful experience, guided by an excellent driver and also a certified guide, but above all by a wonderful person
