While I enjoy Kayaking, Scuba and Golf, I have a fascination to learn about other cultures and histories and impart a bit of our own. Comparative history fascinates me.
I have travelled to many countries and also lived in France, NZ, USA and UK for Schooling/ Uni and work.
This tour, I sometimes combine with or hand over to final year school boys, so they get an exposure in guiding, and use any income they earn to do social projects under their school's Interact Clubs (A junior Rotary movement).
Didn't show up, sent his friend who also didn't show up. Shouldn't have advertised if he couldn't make it.
More or less decent experience. The tour took 1.5 hours instead of 3 (as it's indicated in the description). Ravi sent his student Nadith - a nice 18 y.o. guy who has good English, however he is not prepared to being a good guide yet. The official data on history was presented in a bit boring way. The general knowledge on Sri Lanka traditions, economics, social life is enough for a teenager but not very fulfilling for a person interested in expanding the overall knowledge on the country. The walk in the botanical garden is simply dull)) so it's probably goid that it didn't last for 3 hours.
Ravi introduced us to Nadith, a young smart boy who guided us through the temple and gardens. Since it was only my boyfriend and me doing the tour, we had the chance to have a lovely chat with him and learn more about live in Sri Lanka as a local. The earnings from the tour are used to support school projects and help boost the education of students like Nadith. We were very happy about the experience :)
Outstanding tour. We learnt so much!
