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).
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.
The guide did not turn up and could not be reached. We arrived at the meeting point 10 minutes before the agreed time and waited there for half an hour. We have never had such a disappointing experience with Guruwalk.
The information shared by the guru was well organised. A great orator and conversationalist. The tour was very engaging and informative. The walk through the rain forest is quite therapeutic.
We did good visits with Nikhil. He adapted to our choices. We have learned lot of interesting things !
