Private Tour Driver & Guide

Meet Your Sri Lankan Guide

Hi! My name is Kasun, you can call me ( Kas ). I am from Kandy, Sri Lanka, and touring Sri Lanka is my life because sharing my culture is essentially important to me. Having been employed for several years in a 5-star hospitality business, I have grown to appreciate the personal touch people look for when traveling. Therefore, I have carefully compiled a small, exclusive list of safe, private drivers fluent in English, friendly and fun, knowledgeable in all the sites and communities of Sri Lanka
