Ajee is an awesome guide. He explained not only about the history of Anuradhapura but also about traditions and culture. He is very kind and friendly. We booked a tour in the sacred city, but we enjoyed it that much that we extended the tour with a visit to Mihintale for sun set. Something I would recommend to everyone! Thank you Ajee for the great day.
Excellent and friendly guide!

We had a fantastic day with Ajee. He was our guide in Anuradhapura and was a super guide! He taught us a lot about the history of Buddhism, the origin of the historic city. Because we liked it so much, we extended our tour and went to watch sunset with him in Mihintale, only recommended!
Excellent bike tour!

Aji is a super guide! We took him on a bike tour through Anuradhapura, which we really enjoyed! He made us understandably familiar with the historical events and Buddhist culture! We had a lot of fun and can absolutely recommend him!
An all-round perfect experience

Ajee led the tour with a lot of historical knowledge and passion for Buddhist philosophy. I especially enjoyed riding my bike. Ajee is a careful and considerate driver. A few small detours to the rural surroundings with views of rice fields and the large reservoir have rounded off the day perfectly.

A day tour with Ajee is fantastic. He guides you in a very pleasant way along all the highlights in the Anuradhapura area. He knows history and knows how to connect it to the present time. Speaks good English and even a little Dutch. Driving his car is a wonderful attraction and safer than the tuk tuk. Highly recommended.
Happy Ajee tour

We had an amazing tour today and can highly recommend Ajee as a tour guide. Our hotel was quite far outside the city center, but that was absolutely no problem for Ajee, he kindly picked us up from our hotel without hesitation. He took plenty of time to show us around and explained the history in a very clear and interesting way. The tour was originally planned for 4 hours, but since we had more free time that day, Ajee happily extended the tour and even took us to Mihintale. This was even farther away from our hotel, yet he still brought us back safely afterward, even though it was not required. The extra costs were completely up to us, as Ajee said, as long as we were “happy.” That truly shows how genuine and kind he is. Ajee is a wonderful tour guide and a very sweet person. We would recommend him to everyone. Thank you, Ajee, for this beautiful and unforgettable day!
