Great Day Trip - Don’t Miss This One - Lucky me … booking this on a whim the day before. Prasad was early to pick me up. Very professional. No gimmicks - he only wants the best for his guests. Prasad has a great love and passion for his country, this is clear in his humble and genuine interactions. He’s very knowledgeable and no question was left unanswered. Tea plantation, beautiful scenery, king coconuts … I got to hold a baby turtle….and much more. I would 100% recommend him.

Excellent guide & interesting sites: A great tour to explore Galle! - We had a great day with Prasad! A relaxed & informative tour that covered a variety of different sites in the Galle region. We explored Galle Fort, tasted various teas (& cake!) at the Handunugoda Tea Estate, took in the stunning view at Rumassala, saw Sea Turtles up close and Stilt Fishermen. Prasad has an excellent knowledge of Sri Lanka’s flora, fauna & local culture, which he happily imparts throughout the tour - we learnt a lot! I highly recommend Prasad as a guide for a fun, relaxed and happy day.
