Sri Lanka Central Province Highlights! - Jannuka was so friendly and knowledgeable! We seriously couldn’t have asked for a better day. We visited: the Ranweli Spice Garden (lots of things to try and a massage), Dambulla Cave Temple (one of the most beautiful places), Sigirya Lion Rock (absolutely amazing views), and, Minneriya National Park (where we saw over 100 elephants)! Our first full day exploring in Sri Lanka is certainly one to remember ✨ Tom & Caitlin

Perfect day, perfect companion - My partner and I had an absolutely joyous day with our companion Dinuwickz - we were between many options for a guide/driver, and finally settled with OneWorldTours, though we booked it slightly late (10pm the night before) and thus were cautious that the booking wouldn’t be relayed till the morning. Though I wouldn’t advise leaving it late to book, fortunately we were responded to that same evening and had a scheduled pickup early the next morning at 8am, with perfect timing by Dinuwickz. Throughout the entire day, he was kind, thoughful , informative, a good photographer and most of all, patient for all the wonders we wanted to stop and see. Even with early starts and late evening returns, he was cordial and punctual, waiting for us as we climbed Pidurangala Rock, and showing us lesser known spots to view Sigiriya. We managed to fit in the Elephant Sanctuary Jeep Ride which was a true highlight for the entire trip. What a truly beautiful day. We ran into him a few days later in Kandy on our return to Colombo which was a lovely surprise.

If you are considering booking a tour with him don’t hesitate, we will be recommending him to our friends and keeping his details for future visits. A true gentleman. Thank you for a terrific day out Janikka

Fantastic driver and knowledgeable guide - Janaka was a great guide and driver, with a wealth of knowledge about Sri Lanka and great sense of humour. The car was comfortable and the vibe was relaxed. Janaka was flexible and able to accomodate our requests. Highly recommend!

Great Customer Service - I was very impressed with Janaka, despite being injured and needing to rush to hospital the evening before our trip, he organised a replacement chauffeur (who was great) extremely quickly without us asking him! Booking with him was easy and he was open to modifying the itinerary and negotiation. I would definitely recommend booking with him. Get well soon Janaka!

Practical and Comfortable Way to Visit Sigiriya and Dambulla! - Pros: - Janaka was a superb chauffeur and guide. He was friendly, patient, and accommodating. - It was easy to coordinate with the travel agency and with Janaka himself. - He explained how things would go and provided options for food - Well paced tour - Semi-tailored to the preferences of the client (the places to go will still be based on what's provided in the list, but which comes first, which ones will be omitted can be negotiated) Cons: - For some people, it might come as a surprise that there is a possibility that not all the items in the itinerary will be covered, depending on the pacing and preference of the clients. In my case, I wasn't able to go to the elephant sanctuary because I prioritized taking my time in Sigiriya and Dambulla Caves, which required a lot of climbing (and in the very hot weather). But at least Janaka also explained this to me. True enough, I did not have enough time anyway to visit the elephant sanctuary. - This tour is really not for those afraid of heights, or have mobility problems as both Sigiriya and Dambulla Temple require a lot of climbing.
