Sebbene mi piaccia il kayak, le immersioni e il golf, mi affascina conoscere altre culture e storie e trasmetterne un po' delle nostre. La storia comparata mi affascina. Ho viaggiato in molti paesi e ho vissuto anche in Francia, Nuova Zelanda, Stati Uniti e Regno Unito per motivi di studio/università e lavoro. A volte abbino questo tour o lo consegno ai ragazzi dell'ultimo anno, in modo che abbiano visibilità come guida e utilizzino tutto il reddito che guadagnano per realizzare progetti sociali nell'ambito degli Interact Clubs della loro scuola (un movimento Rotary junior).
We did the Getambe Temple and afterwards we the university. Ravi gave us an amzing authentic tour and provided a lot of intersting informations about buddishm and how to pray at a temple. Afterwards he gave us a little tour of the university. He gave us 5 very good resturant recommendations especially with vegeterian or vegan options. All in all it was a great experience and we can highly recommend a tour with Ravi.
The walk with Ravi was fantastic. He took me to places I would never have otherwise visited in Kandy and he is a wealth of information about the history of Kandy. Highly recommend!!
We had an amazing experience with Ravi. Ravi knows a ton about the (colonial) history of Sri Lanka and is very passionate about sharing it. The tour was as follows: first a walk through the forest, where he talks about the Kandyan Kings and the foreign colonial powers. He is very open to questions. When there is something natural during the tour which is interesting, he also points it out, although it is certainly not the main part of the tour. We also shortly discussed the turbulent period up till 2009. Afterwards, we went to the chapel of Trinity College, where he went to school. The chapel is discussed architectually and historically, together with the British schooling introduced in Kandy. In short, a tour where the information provided is very dense, with a lot of interaction. We loved it!
I really enjoyed my walking tour with students Yashod and Ishika. They were both very friendly, and they led me on a very well-planned and informative tour of the Botanical Gardens and Getambe Temple. They were very enthusiastic about sharing their culture and everyday life in Sri Lanka, and I was able to ask plenty questions and learned so much about Sri Lanka that I never would have picked up on my own. A really enjoyable and memorable experience!
We arrived at the meeting point 10 minutes before the meeting time of 3.30pm. We waited there until 3.45pm but the guide never showed up. We heard nothing from the guide about being late or needing to cancel, but then he started ringing me at about 3.55pm, but it was already too late by then. We have used Guru Walk tours all over the world and this has never happened to us so it was very disappointing, we also only had 1 day in Kandy so we're disappointed to have wasted an afternoon waiting around for a tour guide who never showed up on time.
