Wow, what a day!!! Sheroen was a great English speaking guide for our tour of Kandy. He showed more than the scheduled stops & more. We went to the Bogambara Jail instead of the gardens & he was a great interpreter as the guide was a local worker of the jail. He was a great driver & really knows the places of interest to suit your needs. Thoroughly recommend Sheroen as his attention to detail was impeccable. Well done 👏
