About us guides

Our names are Lillan and Ali Celander and our goal is to offer you a unique holiday experience here in Sri Lanka. We have many years of experience in guiding for large travel companies, but now run our own guide and hotel business.

Ali was born in Sri Lanka and speaks the local languages as well as fluent Swedish. Lillan is from Sweden but has spent much of her time in Sri Lanka. We live in Gothenburg but are in Sri Lanka from October to May. However, you can reach us by phone or email all year round and we will be happy to answer all your questions.

We are very happy for all the wonderful people we get to meet daily in our work and grateful for the great support we have received in social media.

Our staff help look after Sophie House and ensure that you have a pleasant holiday.
