Ajeet is very knowledgeable and was happy to adapt tour to suit our interests. We felt we got a really good overview of the city and saw both the old and new parts.. He covered the interesting history of Sri Lanka before we went out so that we would understand the background to what we would see and we travelled round by tuk tuk. , car and walked. Would highly recommend
