Beautiful tour of ancient Anuradhapura - We spent a fantastic day touring around Anuradhapura with Ajith. His knowledge is vast, and he is very passionate about this history and impact of this beautiful corner of Sri Lanka. We would recommend his services to anyone who would like to know a bit more about the history of Buddhism in Sri Lanka, and not just take pretty pictures of temples.

Great tour! - Ajee was a great guide. He took his time to explain everything at each stop. Since I was traveling solo, he drove me around on his motor. Which was a fun experience. Can 100% recommend

Thank you for the time spent - We have loved our time with Ajith. He has been very helpful from the beginning: starting by booking him last min, helping us find a driver, got us some flowers and even helped us with the buses and finding the best route.. he even gifted us with some tea and bites during the tour! We have learned a lot during the day and had a very insightful exchange about culture, religion and the normal life in Sri Lanka. Ajith is a very genuine lovely person with a honest heart. We are really happy to have crossed paths with him and we wish him ALL the best to him and his family THANK YOU for everything. We will think of you when planting the seeds at home :) Take care dear Ajith 🙏🏻 Cristina

Definitely worth it - We had a great tour with Arjee. We learnt so much that we would not have learnt if we had tried to visit these sites on our own. Arjee is so full of knowledge. Would definitely recommend this tour.
