					  Best guide for Sri Lanka  - Kalinga was the best local guide we have ever experienced in our travels. He was so experienced and answered all questions about history, the country and its people very well.

					  Great Journey  - Travelling together with Chintake was every day a big pleasure for us. We are really very happy that we could spend our holiday days with him. Due to the fact... read more that he is from Sri Lanka underlined at every interisting sightseeing point deep dive insights. Every day was a positive adventure with him and we had a lot of fun. For sure it was not the last time at Sri Lanka, which is from now on one of our favourite travel destinations. Ayubowan 🙂
