My husband and I recently had the pleasure of spending two weeks in Sri Lanka with Chinthaka as our chauffeur/guide.   Whenever you do a private journey, there is always some concern about the guide you will use because you spend a lot of time with them.   We were very lucky to be partnered with Chinthaka.   He was relaxed, but professional.   He is knowledgeable about history, culture, customs, nature, birds & animals.   And, he is interested in having conversations so he can share information about Sri Lanka but also to learn more about the world.   We had some fun (and funny) conversations.    He is well educated, interested in business, food, travel, etc.  We would highly recommend that anyone considering a private journey to Sri Lanka engage the services of Chinthaka!    Even his driving is great in a country where that is challenging.   Highly recommend!

Our Guide:

Chinthaka Shamal Hatharasinghe

Our trip to Sri Lanka recently was made all the more memorable by your fantastic Guide above.

We visited Colombo, Kandy and other places. I would like to add your Guide was helpful, polite and at times very funny.

I travelled with my Uncle Ambrose De Souza and we both thought the Guide very informative. Particularly when we visited the ‘Temple of the Tooth’.

I would recommend him very highly. I personally felt very at ease when asking him general questions. Please let him know how grateful I am.

Many Thanks 

Mark De Souza

We went to SRI Lanka as a family in the first week Sept  without an idea what to expect and were rest assured the minute we met our guide Mike/ Chinthaka . The 5 days that we were touring, gave us an insight of the people, culture and cuisine; all thanks to our guide. My 2.5 year old also loved his company and still talks about him. Mike helped us getting hotels booked at discounted rates as well. He is a complete package and the right one for your holiday in SRI Lanka.
