Nuwan was the perfect host! On our very first day in Sri Lanka, a mere four hours after we checked into our hotel, Nuwan arrived promptly at 9am to begin our wonderful tour.
His vehicle was very clean and he was a very careful driver who safely transported us from our Colombo hotel to the Galle region. Our excursion began with a truly informative experience at the Tea Factory. It was very educational and enlightening and gave us a greater appreciation for the hard work involved in creating that soothing cup of tea.
We then enjoyed a delicious curry lunch at one of the local cafes in the Galle district, recommended by Nuwan. The spices delighted our tastebuds, capped off with homemade Ginger Beer.
A drive by a white sparking mosque, local beach and stilt fishing site added to our leisurely enjoyment. At day's end, we also stopped by Galle Fort and lighthouse for keepsake photo-ops.
Despite the evening traffic, Nuwan returned us to our hotel safe and sound. We totally enjoyed the day's adventure and the opportunity to meet a new friend like Nuwan in Sri Lanka.
We were so impressed by his professional service, warm smile and hearty chuckle that we promptly booked him for another full day tour a few days later.
