🌟 Meet Your Local Guide: The Story Behind Alex Dunn Tours

“When you travel with us, you’re not just booking a tour—you’re joining a Sri Lankan family.”

In a world full of crowded tour buses and generic travel packages, Alex Dunn Tours was born from a simple idea: to give travelers an authentic, local, and unforgettable experience in Sri Lanka.

Whether you're wandering through the misty hills of Ella or tasting spicy sambol in a family-run kitchen, our mission is to show you the real Sri Lanka—with heart.

👋 Who Is Behind Alex Dunn Tours?

Hi, I'm Alex!
A proud Sri Lankan local, passionate traveler, and your future tour guide. I founded Alex Dunn Tours in 2010 to offer more than just sightseeing—I wanted visitors to experience Sri Lanka through local eyes.

After years of guiding international visitors from the UK, USA, Europe, Australia, and Malaysia, I realized what travelers truly seek:
➡️ Connection. Authenticity. Adventure.

🛤️ A Journey That Started with One Tour

Our very first tour was with a couple from Malaysia in 2024. What started as a small itinerary turned into a deep friendship, with shared meals, laughs, and cultural exchange.

Since then, we've guided solo travelers, families, and groups through tea plantations, UNESCO sites, wildlife safaris, hidden temples, and beaches only locals know about.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Meet Our Team

At Alex Dunn Tours, we believe a great journey is built on great people.

Our small but dedicated team includes:

• Licensed Local Guides with fluent English
• Friendly Drivers who know every road, shortcut, and scenic stop
• Local Hosts who open their homes and hearts to you

Together, we ensure your visit is safe, personal, and enriching.
