How to identify an experienced tour guide?
I read a lot in reviews about scammers who are not guides at all, what to do about it, who can advise a good guide who does not hang noodles, knows a lot, and does not rip off money ....

I can recommend Dylan. His cafe is located to the left of the entrance to Tangerine, if you stand facing the entrance. Here is his mobile 779874858.
With Dylan we went for two days to Kandy - Sigiriya. We also went with him to Galle, to the fish market, to Bentota, to Ayurveda, to jewelry stores and mines of precious stones, etc. In principle, we are satisfied. Cheaper than the hotel guide almost twice. In addition, fruit, beer, and alcohol were bought through it. In addition, they took a car with a driver from him to go shopping in Colombo. It turned out for six 60 dollars for the whole day. In general, I repeat, I think that it was quite successful to use his services. And in general he is a cool guy 35 years old.

you will find an experienced one only through travel agencies, and so, basically, tuk-tuk drivers offer excursions in the surrounding area, help you find a driver with a car who pays them interest. Only locals can work as licensed guides, so if you don’t speak English very well, then it’s better not to take risks and contact a travel agency that gives Russian-speaking guides, and if you speak English, then write in a personal, I will advise a professional guide, give the driver’s phone number and you can rent a car without intermediaries, bypassing communication with beach-boys and dubious contacts.

Thank you very much for the information. How much do two day trips cost on average?

It cost us $350. This includes feeding, an overnight stay at a hotel in Kandy (by the way, a very decent hotel), an entrance fee to the inspected objects (Royal Botanical Garden, Temple of the Tooth Relic, Sigiriya).

For the amount of $ 320-350 / person, you can (if booked in advance) get a 4-day tour of the Central-Northern Province ("Cultural" triangle).
At the same time, sensible, responsible guides work through travel companies, and excursion programs on the principle of cruises are booked in advance (a route with transfers from point to point and a short / 1-2 night overnight stay in transit hotels) to get acquainted with a rather extensive list of attractions.
