I have to recommend a trip with Lishan to everyone coming to Ceylon! We took an 8 day trip around the island and I can’t imagine a better guide. Lishan is not only a great driver who drives you safely to the destination. He also knows the greatest attractions of Sri Lanka and advises where to go and what should be avoided. He is very patient and flexible to your individual planning. Lishan often shares good advice on what’s worth seeing and where to eat well (local food, not just tourist spots!). He is a good, honest and very nice person above all! Truly professional guide, 5 stars out of five!
