A wonderful day with the Nilanka guide, not just as an escort, but as an old friend! That's what this man has made of himself! On January 20, 2025, our adventure began at dawn from the hotel where we were staying, the whole day was filled with ravishing experiences and ended in darkness again by the hotel. Initially according to its requirements you can make a list of attractions, and Nilanka will already provide everything else: the most profitable visiting time, will protect(!) from all kinds of tour guides and vendors offering their services, and with its delicateness, courtesy, careful driving of the car and very positive own attitude will make the trip unforgettable and magical. We visited the Matale Hindu temple, Sigiriya, both temples of Dambul and the Nalanda Gedige temple. Who hasn't heard of the latter, I highly recommend to visit (the oldest temple on the island). Talked to the guide in English or through Google translator about travel and just about different topics. They wanted to eat, they described the food requirement and here we are in a very good place. They wanted to buy groceries with them and so they take us to a supermarket where everything we need is available. The phone's dead and they're buying us a charger. I mean, as the guide wrote to us, "I will take full responsibility for today, fear nothing. If anyone says anything, I'll be there," that's what happened on the trip - felt completely confident and calm about their trip and enjoyed the sights. Thank you so much Nilanka and Ranweli Tours(pvt)LTD for such a memorable beautiful trip!
