poih girlfriends had a bad experience riding with a scourge. they bought a tour from him to some festival. rode tuk tuk. so he then took money from the locals so that they could rub against the "white meat", and so on. yes and they are addictive

We went on a two-day excursion with a beach boy in a comfortable air-conditioned minibus, and we went around the place (Halle, shops, cafes) with him in a tuk-tuk. Everything was top notch. The guy is honest. Liked the tours. If you want, I can give you his contact information.

If the excursions are for the whole day, then no one will take you by tuk-tuk. It will be an air-conditioned minibus for 9 or 12 seats with a driver. Excursions for short distances (approximately 30 km) will most likely be by tuk-tuk.

sandra-art, now we are scared to go (we are two girls), it’s better to buy excursions from a tour operator, although it will be more expensive

We went on an excursion to the waterfall with the beach boy Dilyan, we liked everything, a comfortable bus (with air conditioning) Everything was as agreed, both in time and at a price .. and it was interesting to see everything, take pictures where we liked it. Before the trip with the beach boy, we ordered one an excursion to Kandy from a tour operator, it was all naked, they didn’t really see anything, they really didn’t learn anything ... just wasted money

I agree about the fact that there are scourge fights, as even the locals themselves call "mafia", who take money and do not fulfill their promises, without scammers, if I may say so, no one is safe here. Whoever is going to Kogallu (or Galle) in the near future, I can give the phone number of our guide, he knows Russian well, with him our trips were incredibly interesting and only positive emotions

It seems to me that in order to get the most out of the tour, you need to go with guides who speak Russian well. Such, as a rule, are not beach-boys, but work in specific companies.

This was correctly noted about the Russian-speaking guides. We had a very good whipboy, but he spoke almost nothing in Russian. And in the temple of the BUDDHA'S TOOTH in Kandy, there was generally a guide who did not know a word in Russian, only in English. And we don't know English. So we all looked, looked like, and what the Russian thinker figured out, then we understood. I then came home and read everything on the Internet.

Beachboys are different. Therefore, ask for advice from those who have rested near the hotel where you are planning a vacation. These people will be able to give you a name, the phone number of a local "beachboy", with whom you can travel safely. I know this in the Induruva area. Kasun. I wrote about it in my reviews.

In our case, excursions with locals favorably and qualitatively differed from those offered at the hotel. They don't waste your time on long journeys, it's cheaper. Look for good reviews and you won't go wrong. We contacted a tuk tuk after a sad excursion from a travel agency and were subsequently very happy. Contacts are always at your service.

In place - driven by tuk-tuk. If you want to see the country, you can safely turn to a scourge (my friends and I used the services of a scourge named Baba (0094) 775132911 - an exceptionally decent and responsible guy, he will help you comfortably travel around the resort and the country). This is not advertising, I know for myself that it is dumb to contact strangers in an unfamiliar country. I was pleasantly surprised by his approach to work - therefore I advise
