I absolutely recommend Hetti (Jayarathna Hettiarachchi) as a guide. He went to great lengths to fully adapt the tour to the needs of my husband and me and helped us experience an incredible, wonderful journey through Sri Lanka. He is always absolutely friendly and helpful, very knowledgeable about Sri Lanka, a proficient speaker of German and English and a very safe driver. We always felt very comfortable with him. Our tour was 10 days long and full of everything: starting at the East Coast in Trincomaly, we then visited many of the cultural heritage sites of Sri Lanka (Anuradhapura, Sigiriya, cave temple, tooth temple in Kandy,...), diverse landscapes (coast and sea, cultural triangle,  highlands) and, what we liked best, 4 different national parks where we could see elephants, crocodiles, water buffallos and even a leopard in their natural surroundings. At the end of the tour we could spend one more week in an apartment near the beautiful Unawatuna beach near Galle in the south of Sri Lanka where we also had the opportunity to meet Hetti's friendly family. It was a wonderful tour, thank you very much, Hetti, for your hospitality and for helping us understand the Sri Lankan people a little bit better.
