This was a great experience planned with Ramzan. As a first time solo traveller, he made sure I saw all the great attractions of Kandy, that I'm comfortable and overall having fun. I would highly recommend it to anyone coming to Kandy for a good ride and a great conversation to add!
It was very nice, recommended. Chintha was a great driver and a cheerful guide and flexible to ajust the tour as I wanted it
We had a very nice tour with Ramzan. It was a full day and we saw everything we wanted to see and it was possible to skip things we didnt want to see. Ramzan drove very safe, waited everywhere for us and has nice music in his tuktuk. It was a very good day 🙂
The driver, Janet, was on time, friendly, and communicated well with us . He was very knowledgeable about the White Buddhist area, and facilitated our being told by onsite experts about the herb garden and tea factory. His driving was proficient and safe.
I had a an amazing time visiting all the main spots of Kandy with Ramzan as my tour guide. He did an brilliant job of giving me the freedom and time to explore on my own as well. For the price, it was very well worth it
What a fantastic tuk tuk tour today. Dhanu took us to all the places we asked for and more. We also asked to be taken to dinner and he waited for us. What a great day out and thank you for the yummy cake
We had the best time and really enjoyed the tour. We visited all places in Kandy and especially liked the tea factory. Although you don‘t visit a big tea plantage, you learn about different types of tea and their production. We visited every place in Kandy we wanted, even though it wasn‘t included and he taught us about sri lankas history, the kingdoms and colonial period. We got lunch at a very sweet, not touristic place and he invited us to try all the tasty common sri lankan dishes and snacks. We can really recommand the tour, although we didn‘t make a batik-workshop. We saw every sight in Kandy and even more!! We would do it again & are so happy with the experience and everything we learned. Thanks again for the special day!! - Hannah, Sara & Anne :)
We spent a magnificent day with our guides, Samith and Chirantha, during our trip in Sri Lanka.They are very kind and professional, I recommend their services to all travellers. Thanks a lot to bring us this experience.
We really enjoyed the tour. Our guide showed us around the museum at the stupa and explained some of the features of Buddhism and SL history. We could choose which places we wanted to visit from a list. Really good value.
Chintha our Driver was very nice & kind , fully discussed with us exactly what we wanted out of our day as unfortunately it was raining heavily. He even book us a last minute Dance show which was excellent. Went to the tea factory , lady there Danuksha was so helpful. Despite the rain we really enjoyed our day.
