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).
Ravi è stato molto molto bravo, lo raccomando
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!
