- 572kevint0 contributionsGreat guide and experienceAmazing experience in Sri Lanka with Aruna! Great friendly guy, very adaptable to our different wishes. Had tons of fun with him and we are bringing back crazy memories. Definitely recommended. Thank you!!Written May 10, 2020
- 656ga_perp0 contributionsTraveling with ArunaWhen we thought to visit Sri Lanka we certainly read many reviews on everything regarding the trip, so we thought we will travel on our own and decide on the way what we want to see and where we want to go, but after several days of calculations, we saw that it would take us almost a week to finally get to the beach to relax, so in mind that we are staying only 12 days its quite a tight game, but luckily we have found Aruna thru friends and it was a perfect win!!! He managed to take us everywhere we planed in just 3 days and we were really thankful for that because he really met our needs, and it was really fun too. He sang to us all the way when we went on the train in Nuwara Eliya he waited 3 hours, that we surely took off, and even provided fellow travellers in need a free ride to Ella, can you imagine? And the best of all, regarding our budget we have even seen much more places as agreed at the beginning! Once again thank you Aruna!! we didn't find just a great guy, we have found a true friend! For all travellers who are unsure traweling thru Sri Lanka, we strongly recommend Travelling with Aruna.Written February 4, 2020
- 656ga_perp0 contributionsTravel with ArunaHello everyone 😊 If you dreaming to fly to Sri Lanka, I can tell you that this is one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen. And most thanks go to a great guy we had the luxury to meet there, his name is Aruna. So, who is Aruna? Aruna is a young and very talented guy from Sri Lanka. He made it possible that we have seen some beautiful places in Sri Lanka, like Sigirya, Ella, Yalla and Mirissa... As we only booked 2 weeks, which by the way, is not much, our priority was relaxing on the Beach, but still we want to see something, and Aruna made it happen. May I also add that we wanted to organize a sightseeing tour by ourselves, it's doable,but it would have taken us 5 to 7 days, but Aruna managed to make it possible in 3days and this is pretty impressive!!! And he made it for a really decent price! We are already thinking to return next year 😊 and there is only one guy we will call!!!! Thank you again our new friend Aruna👍👍Written February 3, 2020
- maggie_hk10 contributionsThe number one experience of Sri Lanka !!! Simply travel with Aruna!We traveled with Aruna for 5 perfect days. From the moment he picked us up from the airport, we knew we've made the right decision. Aruna is a lovely guy, very warm hearted and thoughtful to take care the details and always make us safe, comfortable and cheerful. He showed us many incredible places and fulfilled everything on our wish list. It is simply beyond our expectation. We have visited Negombo, Kandy, Nuwara Eliya, Udawalawe National park, Ella and Galle, we enjoyed every moment, including singing songs together in the car, having dinner together in nice restaurants he recommended.... and so many other fun moments. The highlight of the trip was Ella, breathe-taking views, Aruna arranged a special "Tuk Tuk" trip for us to the Nine Arches Bridge, it was super fun!! At the end of our trip we became good friends! He is THE ONE if you wanna to see the most amazing Sri Lanka, while you can be totally care-free! From our heart we would like to say a big THANK YOU and hope to see you again soon, Aruna!Written October 18, 2019

- Tilen H0 contributionsAruna - King of Sri LankaI know the review is long, but it is worth reading :)<br> <br> One day, me and my friend Ana were sitting in restaurant in Habarana having lunch. We were talking in our language and all of a sudden, a guy at the next table said: Zdravo, kako si? (eng. Hello, how are you?). First few second we were in shock, but than he started saying some other words in our language. <br> Than sitted at our table and told us, he is a Sri Lankan tour guide and he had a lot of Slovenians and also people from other countries. We started talking about our trip around Sri Lanka, and than he took my pen and paper and started writing every essential information about Sri Lanka (not the ones you get in tourist guides, but real local-guy-stuff). <br> After half an hour, our ways separated, but we exchanged contacts. <br> All day, we were just talking about how can you be such a good person as Aruna. We were so excited!<br> After that, everything we needed know, we just texted Aruna, and he reply very soon and he had the answer to every question.<br> After a week or so, we meet in Ella for a drink and we became really good friends.<br> Once I got to know him better, I was surprised. Aruna is a tour guide, singer, he can cook really well, want to travel the world and learn about other cultures and languages. And for the cherry on top, he is humble and honest man. We've been travelling a lot, but for sure I can say, he is the most amazing man, we've ever met.<br> <br> With love, Tilen and AnaWritten July 31, 2019

- anicabass0 contributionsBest tour guide / druverAruna was the best tour guide we could have hoped for. He was very reliable and helpful, and was always in a good mood. We came to Sri lanka just after the attack in April 2019 and we felt very safe traveling with him. We always laughed when we travelled together, and we became good friends and we couldn’t recommend him enough. Ana and bineWritten July 28, 2019
