Good Day Out

Great communication before and during trip. Provided water and cold towel which were welcome. Visited all sights as per itinerary, but we did not do the tea tour as we had already done two elsewhere, but did do the commonwealth war graves. Note that this is not a fully guided tour. You are taken to the sites and shown where to get tickets and where to meet afterwards. Very informative about Kandy when travelling between sites.

Great Kandy day trip

Great day roaming around Kandy. Aruna spent a full 10 hours (!) showing us the history and beauty of Kandy. Super knowledgeable and incredibly conscious of our comfort in the heat on a long day. Botanical gardens were incredible, the head temples stunning. Highly recommend the day tour. Felt very safe and comfortable with him driving - Kandy traffic is not something we’re ready for as Aussies :)

Day Trip/Tour in Kandy & Sorroundings

I booked this day tour last minute on my last day in Kandy. Aruna confirmed promptly and communicated very well and professionally. The entire day was lovely and very rewarding in seeing different parts of Kandy and sorroundings. Aruna was very professional, courteous, agreeable and made the tour quite enjoyable. Overall, a great day experience. Thank you Aruna for a lovely day.

Día excepcional con Anura. Amable, honesto y hace el tour a tu medida,visitando zonas poco turísticas.

Amazing day with Aruna 🤗

We had an amazing trip from Kandy to Nanuoya with our driver Aruna😊 He took us in his brand new tuk-tuk, which even had seat belts — we felt super safe and comfortable the whole way. There was plenty of space for our four bags, and the ride was smooth and enjoyable. Along the way, he shared interesting stories and cultural facts, making the journey really special. We stopped at a beautiful waterfall, and he even walked with us to make sure we had a great experience — it was honestly one of the coolest things we’ve done in Sri Lanka! He also took us to the Kingswood Tea Factory, where we learned how tea is made, and later helped us get the best train tickets the rest of the way to Ella. He drove carefully through the mountains with incredible views, always stopping when we wanted to take photos. We had such a great time talking and sharing stories about our different cultures — he’s truly one of the best guides and people we’ve met on our trip. We’re so grateful for this unforgettable experience! 🙏🌿
