Sri Lanka - We had the pleasure of traveling with Wasa during our trip to Sri Lanka, and he was truly exceptional. He was extremely polite, kind, and hardworking. Wasa always made sure we were comfortable and went above and beyond to show us as much as possible during our journey. He is very knowledgeable, reliable, and an overall wonderful human being. We felt safe and well taken care of the entire time. We would highly recommend Wasa to anyone visiting Sri Lanka—he made our experience unforgettable!

A truly memorable and enjoyable experience! - Started 7.30 from our hotel and our driver was Asanka. We tried so many new things and visited so many places in just one day. Definitely worth it specially the madu river safari and fish therapy.Asanka was such a kind and flexible guide. I could choose various options to make the most comfortable and enjoyable tour. Good luck JK Tours.

Truly amazing 10/10 !!! - Amazing coastal areas in Sri Lanka. I really like to see the turtles in hikkaduwa which gave me a great experience to see giant turtles. Can’t believe that the tour arrangement was done perfectly at the beginning to end. We have lunch after madu river boat ride , it’s truly authentic srilankan lunch. Thanks for arranging such great tour in down south of Sri Lanka, Highly recommend for anyone
