I'm Hemantha Gunawardhana, an experienced chauffeur guide from Galle, now based in Colombo, with a background in automobile engineering and transport management. I spent 10 years handling VIP travel at Hilton Colombo and have worked with TLC since 2016, building up extensive knowledge of Sri Lanka’s roads and destinations. I take pride in safe driving, punctuality, and a well-maintained vehicle, and I'm fluent in English and Sinhala. I'm calm and professional by nature, and with deep local insight and courteous service I aim to be a reliable and personable companion for a safe and enjoyable journey across Sri Lanka.
Our guide, Hemantha, was exceptional. He was knowledgeable, warm, and patient, and he made us feel safe, welcomed, and genuinely cared for throughout the entire journey. Whether he was pointing out wildlife, explaining cultural history, or helping us navigate local spots, he added so much depth and meaning to our trip.
