Ayu-bo-wan!!! Which means you can live a long time and is our traditional way of welcoming anyone to Sri Lanka, our home and when they first meet you. I am Premil Shasendra and I work as an Independent National Tour Guide. I am also on TripAdvisor in Sri Lanka for many years. I have completed a diploma in tourism and orienteering under the Sri Lanka Tourism Board and have qualified and have a license as a national guide. I specialize in managing group tours and have extensive knowledge of archeological sites, history, culture, flora and fauna, bird watching, camping, biking, trekking, climbing, etc. I can also arrange your transportation in Sri Lanka (cars/vans/coaches) and hotel reservations (depending on star rating or accommodation style - boutique/villas/bungalows/guesthouses) with access to special and negotiated rates. Are you looking for a guide who knows the country by heart, who is honest, flexible, responsible, a good driver, dynamic and intelligent? Then contact me so that I can show you my country in the best possible way! As soon as you land in Sri Lanka, you will be in good hands and you will be looked after by a friendly, smiling and caring professional guide.
