Best tour in Sigiriya / Kandy - The tour was amazing. He came to pick us up at the hotel very punctually and took us to all the points we wanted. There was a moment during the car trip when I was not feeling well due to menstrual problems and he was very understanding, he made several stops, even telling acquaintances so that I could be comfortable. The places we visited were incredible. He made a few more stops even than we had talked about and we loved them. He is very detailed and makes you feel comfortable. For example, he stopped us at a fruit stand so we could try them, he was in charge of paying the saleswoman and didn't let us pay anything. He knows a lot about history and tells you many interesting details. It's like talking to a friend.

Very nice day trip - We had a really good day with Janaka. He drove us to the places we wanted to visit and told us a lot about his country and the sights on the car ride. He customised the day to our taste and even helped organise our trip further by providing contacts and recommendations. He is a good driver and very friendly person.

The best way to explore Pidurangala Rock - We did the trip from Kandy to Pidurangala with Janaka and it was such a great experience! Janaka made sure, we only see the stuff that‘s really worth it and don‘t go to the very touristic places. We had very good conversations and got to know the country so much better because of it. We can really recommend booking a tour with Janaka :D

Amazing tour with an amazing guide! - The tour with Janaka was one of the highlights of my trip to Sri Lanka! I am so thankful to him for showing me this part of his country and for all the talks we had, which helped me connect much more to the culture and also hear about the history. The tour was so rich in terms of experiences - we did Pidurangala, we had an amazing stop at a village where I ate the best coconut roti prepared by a local woman in an authentic way, we went to the Dambulla Cave Temple and ended up with a Hindu temple on the way back. Janaka is the most friendly, thoughtful and kind guide you could ask for. I told him I haven’t tried jackfruit and he remembered that and bought some for me to try. It was really an incredible day. You won’t regret booking the tour with Janaka, highly recommend it! Thank you Janaka!

Great tour with friendly, knowledgeable guide - Fantastic tour. Janaka had great suggestions of places to go. He was very knowledgeable of Sri Lanka’s history and culture. When he found out I was vegan, he recommend lots of food and restaurants I could eat at. Overall really friendly guy and nothing was too much. I highly recommend booking his tour. Great value for money

I regret not joining a professional tour group on a bus with a good Sigiriya guide who also provides cold water & lunch - Janaka is a nice guy, but much better as a driver than as a tour guide. He was unprepared for common scenarios and situations.
