Dinuka is an awesome guide.He is professional and fun. He has great knowledge about the history and geography of the place,the flora and fauna,ans even the hidden gems of Ella.He knows very well to handle his guests and is one of the best at what he does.This was our first long hike and it wouldn't have been easy without him.

trip: Ella Rock, Nine Arch Bridge, Little Adams Peak I would've never been able (nor want) to try to find my way up to Ella rock and the view points. I travel alone and would require some extensive research before hand to get up without getting lost. Much thanks to my guide Dilan who showed the way & kept me entertained all day. He is a dedicated guy full of passion & very accommodating. HIGHLY recommended for those who would like to see Ella. Save urself the hassle of digging up info & navigating through bushes after long train rides & restless travels throughout the country.

Great full day tour starting at 7:30am, hiking up Ella Rock, then Little Adam's Peak and ending with a visit to the Nine Arch Bridge, stopping for lunch on the way. Very active day which we loved. Dilan was an amazing tour guide, very friendly and informative. We learnt so much about both Ella and Sri Lanka from him. He also took lots of great photos for us! Thank you!

My husband and I did an Ella tour with Dilan yesterday (Ella Rock, Little Adam’s Peak and 9 Arch Bridge) - we had an absolutely fantastic day and highly recommend Dilan. He was so easy to talk to and very knowledgable about Sri Lanka and the local area. We felt so comfortable and laughed all day. Dilan took us to spots that we had to ourselves and wouldn’t otherwise have found on our own - he’s also a fab photographer meaning we got some amazing pictures together. If you’re in Ella this tour with Dilan is a must do - such amazing places to see and Dilan really made the whole experience for us. Thank you Dilan & Ella Tours for a truly memorable day!

We had Dilan as our tour guide for 2 days in Ella. He is personable, friendly, and energetic - 3 traits you need when starting a hike at 5AM. He kept my family and I going throughout the 2 days. When my mom fell ill, he rushed to take her back to our hotel. We covered many of the sites in Ella with him along with Lipton's Seat before driving down to Galle. My family and I couldn't have had a better guide. If you're looking for someone to show you around Ella, don't hesitate to reach out for Dilan at Ella Rock Tours.

We only had two days in Ella and thought a tour would be a great way to maximize the experience. We saw all the sites in Ella in a quick and efficient manner. More importantly was the experience we had with our tour guide Dilan. He was a young well spoken professional guide who was very knowledgeable of the area having grown up there. He also took amazing photos of us and ensured we really captured the beautiful moments we had in Ella. The tours was also individual with only us an Dilan and we could customize the tour to our liking. We would highly recommend it and would ask for Dilan.

We booked 2 days with Ella Tours and they were fantastic! Anil was great for communication beforehand, and helped us plan out a personal itinerary based on what we wanted to do. It was all done over email within a few hours - so convenient! We were picked up at our hotel on day 1 on the south coast near Weligama, and taken to Undawalawe National Park for a Jeep safari... our guide, Dilan, was absolutely fantastic! He spoke excellent English, and told us so much about the many animals in the park that we saw. Our driver then returned and took us up to Ella to our hotel where we were spending the next 4 nights. So it was a perfect way to get from A to B, with our safari break in the middle on the way! We were a bit tired after all the driving on day 1 to get from the south coast up to Ella, so both Anil and Dilan were super accommodating and re-tailored day 2 for us so it wouldn’t be quite so long. Our second day of touring with Dilan was amazing - he picked us up in a tuk tuk and took us through the hills of Ella stopping at various viewpoints to tell us more about the tea plantations, local Sri Lankan culture, and the surrounding area. We then hiked 2 waterfalls with him that absolutely blew us away! We felt like we were in the middle of nowhere! Stunning. AND - he brought homecooked traditional Sri Lankan lunch with him that his mother had cooked for us to eat as a picnic lunch by the waterfalls. It was SO good! We truly had an amazing few days with Dilan and Ella Tours - could not recommend them more!

Had a great time during our half day tour to the Nine Arches Bridge and little Adam’s peak. Our guide, Dilan, is a kind, soft-spoken and knowledgeable young man who is passionate about sharing insights about the area as well as engaging in conversations about Sri Lankan society and cultural differences. He was also very patient in taking great pictures of each of us and made sure everyone felt at ease during the hike. At the end of the tour he brought us to a great Sri Lankan restaurant we all really liked. It was an informative and enjoyable tour I highly recommend! I’d definitely have booked an additional tour the following day if I had had more time in town.

Communication was excellent with Anil by email. I was able to set out my itinerary, book the trip and pay the cost to the driver, and this was all arranged by email, so easy! The driver arrived early and the whole day was taken care of, collecting us from Ella, driving us, with an impromptu stop at the waterfalls, to Yala National Park (whilst stopping for lunch) and having a pre-arranged safari around the Park for over 3 hours. We were then driven to our accommodation, to the door!, at Mirissa. No complaints, it was a really great day. Thanks again Ella Tours.

We contacted Ella tours to take us to little adams peak and the 9 arch bridge. They confirmed our request based on our email. As requested our guide was in our hotel exactly on time. Mr Dinu was very knowledgeable and made our tracking to both places very pleasant. He was very considerate and even without us saying we needed a break, he would just randomly stop to explain or show a plant (based on our breathing)!!! Perfect guide to go along with if you are worried about the hike. Fantastic service!

After a fair amount of relaxation this trip was a great way to stretch the lungs and see the wonderful scenery as we walked to Ella’s peak, the 7 arches bridge and Adams peak. Our guide Dinu was very knowledgeable and obviously loves showing people around his wonderful country. I highly recommend this trip.

From the moment I contacted Ella Tours I knew we had picked the right company. Communication was prompt and our guide arrived on time. Once we were introduced to Dinu it all went to another level, literally. Dinu was so knowledgeable and passionate about the area. It made for an experience that will not be soon forgotten. Do this tour and insist on having Dinu as your guide.

‘Uh ha’ we replied. Two and half hours later we stood hot and sweaty way above Dinu’s ambition to get to his solitary pine standing precariously one one of Ella Rock’s seemingly inaccessible ledges. The climb starts on the railway tracks and ends with a short sharp 20 min assent to the top (a longer gentler option is available). I recommend a guide, the route isn’t that obvious and it’s not cool to go barrelling through local farmers tea plantations and vegetable gardens. Our guide Dinu pulled out all the stops, passionate, well informed and professional. More tea vicar? An in joke which you’ll get if you get Dinu. Do it.

We booked the tours with Anil from Ella Tours and we always had a quick response and good communication. On the tours we were guided by Dilan. He gave us a very good insight in the life of the sri lankan people. We had a small cooking workshop with vegetables from a local yard and in the afternoon, we taught some basic english to the children of the village. On the second day, we climbed all the way up to Ella rock, we had a wonderful view on little Adam's peak and we saw the train coming by on the nine arch bridge. Thank you Dilan for those amazing two days!

We had a tour to the Etili village. Dilan showed us around and could tell is a lot about Sri Lanka and live in the country. It was an easygoing day out with a particular highlight. We prepared lunch together with a very nice local woman. Lovely! Our children of 6 and 10 loved the Sri lankan food. Again, thanks to Dilan and the rest of Ella Tours
