Parfaite 😁 - We had such a wonderful experience with our hairdresser! Traveling with our 6-month-old baby can be challenging, but he was incredibly kind, patient, and understanding throughout our visit. He made us feel completely at ease and never rushed us, knowing we needed to take our time. Beyond his talent and professionalism, he went above and beyond by sharing so many helpful tips about the area and even assisting us with organizing the rest of our trip. His advice truly made a difference in our stay. We are so grateful for his warmth, generosity, and five-star service. I cannot recommend him highly enough — an absolute 5-star experience from start to finish!

6days package with Janaka - best guide - I highly recommend Janaka! I've traveled a lot, but I've never had such a great guide. I spent six days with Janaka, traveling around central and southern Sri Lanka in a brand-new, super comfy van. From the start, Janaka was very communicative and helpful. When we finally met him, he totally exceeded our expectations. Janaka is not only an excellent driver and guide but also a kind, wise person with a great sense of humor. We felt completely taken care of. Every place he recommended—whether attractions, restaurants, or hotels—was fantastic. The cherry on top was when he invited us to a home-cooked dinner with his family. His wife made an amazing feast! I had some mixed feelings about Sri Lanka, but Janaka made it one of my top destinations, and now I'm thinking about returning to explore the northern and eastern parts. Thank you Janaka♥️

Nice. - Climbing to the top of the steep staircase you can enjoy a magnificent view. Not suitable for those who are afraid of heights.

Janaka is the best tour guide in Sri Lanka! - Booked Janaka for a one day tour of Kandy. It was the best day of our trip so far. Everything was no problem and took the hassle of us organising the day ourselves! Janaka was super fun, telling us stories and intestering facts about Sri Lanka! He even was a great photograph too! Janaka was so good, we even booked him for a second day to take us to Nuwara Eliya where he stopped at places we would never have known about! He also gave us plenty of recommendations for the rest of our trip in Sri Lanka! He was the perfect driver 👌

The BEST tour with a phenomenal guide! - Where to begin?! Janaka is a an absolute legend!! We had two amazing days with him doing a tour of Kandy and then a trip to Nuwara Eliya. He took us to some of our favourite stops of our trip so far, knew when to take us so it wouldn't be as busy and had so much information to share with us along the way. He knows his city so well you couldn't pick a better guide. On top of being a great guide he was great fun, we laughed and joked the whole time and he helped us capture some phenomenal pictures to help us remember the fun that we had. I would 100% recommend this tour to anyone visiting - it's was worth so much more than the price we paid. Tremendous!!!
