We bumped into Pali in our hotel lobby on our first day. We didn’t really have a plan and were worried about missing out on certain things, but thanks to Pali we had an amazing two days! The man is a legend, he knows absolutely everyone and all the best things to see and places to go. It was like being driven around by a celebrity. Fantastic service, 100% must when visiting.

Amazing couple of hours with Pali. Initially we weren’t going to do much in Kandy, just Temple of the Tooth and not much else (it was our stopping pit from Sigiriya to Mirissa), but thanks to him we got a lot of context about said Temple and we watched a spectacular culture dance show. He also took us to the Gem Museum which I didn’t even know about and it was awesome. Great vibes and service on his part and I would definitely recommend to anyone who comes across him.
