  • 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!

  • Great guide! Book this tour!

    Aji was our guide in Anuradhapura. He has a lot of knowledge and is very friendly! In between, Aji took us to a place where he likes to eat or get a snack. Here we got delicious drinks and snacks. During the tour, Aji took pictures, which he sent us after the tour. This was a nice extra and the pictures were very good! We were very happy to be introduced to the culture in Anuradhapura in this way.

  • Fun and educational tour!

    We had a fantastic afternoon in company with our guide Ajee Vogel, who in the best way showed us around among the many sights in Anuradhapura - also on his birthday. We loved the bike trip and learned a lot about the city, Sri Lankan history and nature and got a nice introduction to Buddhism. We would always recommend Ajee as a guide.

    Tour guide Ajee Vogel gave us a fantastic tour of the ancient city of Anuradhapura today. Ajee Vogel is a very knowledgeable person who could tell us a lot about Sri Lanka and Anuradhapura's exciting history and the Buddhist philosophy and way of life. On our 6 hour tour we saw the most important historical sites in the ancient city and were offered tea/coffee and delicious traditional Sri Lankan snacks. A day we will always remember.

  • A fantastic guide for understanding Anuradhapura and Buddhism

    Aji is a fantastic guide with a solid knowledge of the local area and a deep understanding of Buddhism. As well as providing us with the historical significance of the sites we visited, he also shed a lot of light on the core tenets of Buddhism which brought the trip to life. He was also very happy to customise our tour so that we could take the time to meditate at one of the stupas. We would recommend booking a tour with Aji if you are in Anuradhapura!
