9 Friends, 14 Days, 2 Amazing Guides – A Journey We’ll Never Forget

  1. August 01, 2025

We were a group of 9 friends traveling through Sri Lanka, and we had the pleasure of spending 14 unforgettable days in this beautiful country. A huge part of what made our trip so special was the incredible support and professionalism of our two guides, Liya and Thushara.

Liya was our driver throughout the entire journey. He is an extremely professional and reliable person, and thanks to him we always felt safe and comfortable. Every trip with him was smooth and pleasant – he’s truly an excellent driver. He also recommended a fantastic restaurant in Tangalle, which we really appreciated!

Thushara, on the other hand, was our all-round support throughout the trip. Always smiling, kind, punctual, and helpful, he was constantly attentive to our needs and made sure everything ran perfectly. His presence was essential to ensuring that our vacation went smoothly from start to finish. He also acted as an excellent guide, helping us discover and appreciate Sri Lankan culture in a deeper way. Thanks to his suggestions – from activities to restaurants – we were always in great hands.

Without Liya and Thushara, our trip wouldn’t have been the same. They made every moment special, and for that, we are truly grateful. I sincerely hope to meet them again one day, and I wish them both the very best in achieving all their dreams.

Thank you for everything!
