With nearly two decades on the road and an official Sri Lanka Tourism lecturer qualification, Asela is the kind of guide most travellers only stumble upon by luck. He knows the whole island — not just the postcards, but the backroads, the quiet temples, the villages tourists rarely reach. His English is fluent, his AC car and van are comfortable, and his repeat-visitor rate says everything: tourists don't just enjoy his tours, they come back and ask for him specifically.
"His timekeeping was dependable and his cultural knowledge enriched our holiday. He was always in good humour, thoughtful and flexible. We highly recommend him as a chauffeur, guide and knowledgeable travel companion."
— Sian & Phil Stenton, UK
"Always friendly, trying to make the best of every situation and responding to our needs. He has the ability to improvise when needed. We highly recommend him."

"You are the most patient and nice guide I can imagine. I think you have done your utmost to guide us through our 8-day journey."
— Solei Ophei, Norway · Dec 2017
