I enjoyed my trip with Juli very much. He was a polite young man, a competent TukTuk driver and happy to change my visit to the waterfall for a tour around Lake Gregory. Furthermore, when I told him about problems I had with my adaptor he helped me to buy a new one. Much appreciated.
Akram was a great guide- on time, knowledgeable, and so kind. Also knew all the great photo taking spots! Very fun tour!
We went on a private tour together with my sister. Akram was friendly, communicative and on time. We talked a lot about the trip but also he shared a lot of info about Sri Lanka and Nuwara Eliya culture. The itinerary was well organised. We learned the process of manufacturing tea and in Damro factory there are a lot of tea options in reasonable price to buy. We also visited two waterfalls, for one of them there is a bit of hiking but it’s worth it. Also the transportation with the car is very comfortable for a road with a lot of turns. In conclusion, we were really happy and learned a lot from the tour!
Anwar was super nice, stopping in several view points along the way and answering all our questions. The treck to the first waterfall was lovely exercise and he found all the best spots to get the best views. My favourite was the visit to the tea plantation and factory, where we were walked through the production process of white, black and green tree from the leaves they pick themselves, using machinery that is more than 100 years old but work like a dream. All in all, a morning well spent!
Nice trip done with visit waterfalls and several tea factories (explanation of process and also tasting and possibility of kopsn)
The trip was well organised. Guide and driver were very nice to us and showed us the most insane and beautiful views. The tea factory was also a great experience to try local tea and to see how it is made
It was a fun tour. We visited two impressive waterfalls and the Bluefield Tea Factory. Anwar is a pleasant and friendly driver. Really a toucher
Fantastic day hosted by Fais around the tea factories of Nuwara Elyia. We had a great time learning about the area and seeing some of the sites before touring two tea factories. Both included tea tasting and an opportunity to buy some to take back home. I highly recommend trying the tea cake at Labookellie, if that is one of your stops! We also tried tea picking at Bluefield, which was fun. It was raining, but we did the hike to the top of lookout to see a falls. It was well worth it and the rain added to the power and beauty of the area. Overall a great day and would recommend this tour with Fais.
Today's tour is unforgettable! I started this adventure with Juli, he is super warm and supportive! I climbed the mountain slowly in the raining and he helped me a lot and waited me with patience. He helped me to find the medicine for my bite bug and helped to dry my cloth in the furnace. And I accidentally burned my shoes badly. He helped me to find a new slipper and glue! Save my life, thanks Juli🙆🏻♀️
Karim is a great guide! He arrived on time, took us everywhere we asked, and provided deep insights about Sri Lanka and Nuwara Eliya in particular. He knows all the great locations for the photos, and you don't even need to ask him for a good photo of yourself,
