This was one of the best experiences of our trip! Ahmed was incredibly knowledgeable, not only about gemmology and the mining industry, but also about the local culture, history, and traditions. He went above and beyond to answer all of our questions and made the entire experience both educational and enjoyable.
We visited the mines, explored local markets, learned about gemstones firsthand, and enjoyed some absolutely amazing buffet meals along the way. Ahmed was friendly, professional, patient, and genuinely passionate about sharing his knowledge.
If you’re interested in gems, local culture, or simply want a fantastic guide who takes great care of his guests, I cannot recommend Ahmed highly enough.
We bought some amazing gems to take home.
Thank you for such a memorable experience! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This tour was fantastic! Ahmed is so friendly and knowledgable and answered all our questions. It was really interesting to see how the gem industry works in Sri Lanka, from mining to cutting and selling. We would have been lost in Ratnapura without him!

Ahmed is a knowledgable and kind host who personalised this tour to my liking. It was great to see the gem cutting and heating process in real life and also visit the mines. Highly recommended.

If you can only book one tour about gem stone, Shreek is the best choice for sure, we are so happy with the whole experience, not only learned lots of the knowledge about the gem stone but also had the chance to see the mining and polishing process and so on. I really hope I can go back again!!!
