What an incredible time I had with this company last year. It was my first time doing anything like this before and I was pretty skeptical to begin with. After chatting on the website I felt way more relaxed and couldn't wait for the trip to start. The whole experience when I was in Thailand was just out of this world. The hotels, activities, experiences and all the locals we met on the tour. What really stood out for me was how friendly the guides were. Matt and all the local guides were just super friendly and they really were more like your friend than a guide or leader. If I had to choose my favourite day it would have to be the day we did the boat trip on Phi Phi. We had the tunes going and the weather was just amazing, we saw reef sharks and a turtle which just blew my mind (I have never seen a turtle before lol). I loved it that much I am planning my next trip with the company as soon as all this COVID stuff is finished. Thanks for a great time and making my first travelling experience so special x

I just completed a tour booked my Australian friend with Prasad starting from Colombo to Wilpattu , Passikuda , Habarana , Polonnaruwa , Ella and back to Colombo. He is very knowledgeable and most of all very courteous . We felt very safe with him and he himself is well traveled overseas so can relate well to international tourists. I can highly recommend him to book your tours. Especially for women travelers.

I booked this class as I wanted to know more about Sri Lankan dance styles- and I got much more by learning so much about Sri Lankan culture as well. The class was very good, experienced and learned basic steps and hand moves, and got to play the drum as well! The organizers are professional and the ladies are absolutely fabulous! If you have the chance you definitely should try this.
