Absolute must to visit the temples, beautiful cycling - Ajee was very kind, generous, attentive and knowledgeable. We spent a great day with him and learnt a lot about the temples and Buddhism. The cycling in nature was beautiful. Highly recommended, it’s a must if you pass by Anuradhapura.

Impressive experience with very good guide - Super experience with Aji. Told us a lot about Buddhism and showed us everything with great enthusiasm. He also speaks quite a bit of Dutch which he learned from all the tourists. Seeing these special structures with their strong meaning in a nice relaxing way was very impressive. Highly recommended!

Great and friendly guide - Ajee is an awesome guide. He explained not only about the history of Anuradhapura but also about traditions and culture. He is very kind and friendly. We booked a tour in the sacred city, but we enjoyed it that much that we extended the tour with a visit to Mihintale for sun set. Something I would recommend to everyone! Thank you Ajee for the great day.

Excellent and friendly guide! - We had a fantastic day with Ajee. He was our guide in Anuradhapura and was a super guide! He taught us a lot about the history of Buddhism, the origin of the historic city. Because we liked it so much, we extended our tour and went to watch sunset with him in Mihintale, only recommended!

An all-round perfect experience - Ajee led the tour with a lot of historical knowledge and passion for Buddhist philosophy. I especially enjoyed riding my bike. Ajee is a careful and considerate driver. A few small detours to the rural surroundings with views of rice fields and the large reservoir have rounded off the day perfectly.
