5.00Sheroen was absolutely wonderful - so kind in showing me places I hadn’t even heard of, pointing out local wildlife and viewing spots along the way, and patiently waited whilst I took photos and toured round the herbal garden. It was such a lovely way to spend my morning and I couldn’t recommend him enough! 10/10
Best Sri Lanka tour guide ever

5.00Having Sheroen as our tour guide made our experience of Kandy more memorable. He took us to places we would never have been able to get to, not just tourists attractions but even where locals live and shop. We ate meals at fractions of cost compared to tourists areas. He was very polite, patient, friendly, generous and kind. He is very knowledgeable and good story teller. A well rounded guide indeed. Thank you Sheroen. You are the best

5.00Sheroen, is undoubtedly the second dad of every one in Kandy! He is absolutely the best tour guide you’ll find in Kandy and his service is second to none. If you want a local tour guide who really knows what he’s talking about and knows all the best places to take you to, look no further! Not only is he warm, friendly and considerate, he has the patience of a saint. He is incredibly considerate and takes his time to explain things to you. His takes the time to learn his customers interests and will show you things that resonate in ways you probably would have never considered yourself. He’s also really funny and relatable so you enjoy every moment of his tour. He was our tour guide for the two days we were in Kandy and he took us absolutely everywhere! He gave us an insiders guide to Buddhism is Sri Lanka, showed us where to get the precious Sri Lankan sapphire (I even picked up a ring), showed us a tour of ayurevidic gardens, took us to the temple of tooth relic, the Kandy viewpoint and even showed us some of the local wildlife. Added to that, we even managed to go spice shopping and took us to some local eateries for some authentically delicious food, places we would have never discovered without him. He also incredibly generously gifted me with some curry leaves from his garden when I told him I love cooking - such a super star! I can’t recommend Sheroen highly enough. I’ll be telling anyone going to Kandy to make the use of his services and insider knowledge. He truly made our time in Kandy memorable for all the best reasons. Thank you so much Sheroen - my mum and I had a wonderful time with you!

5.00We wished to go from Kandy to Nuwara Eliya tea plantations and than to a train to Ella and we were lucky to meet our driver day before. He has a great knowledge of all local interesting points - knows all the waterfalls and view points. He stops wherever you want so you can have a look and take a picture and he answers all your questions. He is a smart and funny guy and it was a pleasure to spend half a day with him. He took us to the train on time and helped us get the right tickets. He also knows where to stop for a free cup of very nice tea 😉❤️
Amazing!
