I just came back from Sri Lanka after spending 6 days for tourism there. Based on my positive experience, I wanted to leave a feedback for my two super-helpful guides – Alex Prasad and Derick, with whom I spent almost 4 days in Kandy and Anuradhapura.I initially got to know about Alex and Derick through an AirBnB host (based out of Kandy). My first meeting with them and overall planning was very pleasant and helpful. They were prompt, cheerful and listened well. They suggested a plan based on my specific needs and desires, rather than a cookie-cutter itinerary to the usual touristy places. They took me to local eateries, which were tasty, cheap and clean. Through them, I established other local contacts, which helped me get access, which would not have been possible otherwise. There were other several subtle things which Alex and Derrick helped with, e.g., understanding the subtleties of culture, when, who and how much to tip, what questions to ask the locals and what’s forbidden, etc.. I have not come across many guides who will go to this extent.All in all, I will whole-heartedly recommend Alex and Derick as tour guides if you are in Sri Lanka.
