This was an amazing experience. Chami gave a great summary of Sri Lanka‘s recent history, politics and economic situation. She is a true expert in this field, with excellent story telling capabilities. Also, we really enjoyed hearing her personal views on recent developments and future outlook through the perspective of a local. We learned a lot and we definitely recommend this experience. It is much better than going for a basic city tour. Don‘t miss out on this!
Chami is an engaging and knowledgeable tour host. Seeing places that are part of Sri Lanka’s political history and present-day helps appreciate its culture while visiting.
