From a man with love for travel
Henry founded Sri Lanka Local Tours with the aim of delivering a valuable opportunity to all travelers to joyfully discover the charm of Sri Lanka. Once a tour guide, He was discouraged by prescribed vanilla group tours, tourism tricks, hidden surcharge, and detours. Henry decided to start something he would put his name and pride on, something that showed people the best of Sri Lanka.
The Wish to Share the Wonders of Sri Lanka
Henry knew that there was so much to marvel at and experience outside the group tour experience. Back then all trips were all fixed, and visitors had zero flexibility to customize a trip around their interests. He wanted travelers to experience off the beaten track, of the guidebook, out of sterile parks, major attractions, and beyond the typical tour itineraries.
Distinctive Taste of Sri Lanka Travel
Henry wanted to get rid of detours to commission motivated stops, those shops wore a cloak as museums and listed on the itinerary as a ‘sight-seeing spots,' and instead take visitors into the authentic charm of Sri Lanka, to talk to the locals, to strive authentic food at the kind of local restaurants and overseas friends loved. Thus, Henry set about to run an award-winning tour operator, starting a website helping travelers. Sri Lanka Local Tours was born then. Our passion, motto, and purpose have never changed.
