Rejseplan
Du vil blive hentet omkring kl. 6 fra dit hotel og derefter fortsætte til Kandy, på vej besøg Spice Garden i Mawanella I århundreder har krydderier været en af Sri Lankas mest berømte eksportvarer og bruges til medicin og kosmetik samt til at smage fødevarer. Du vil prøve dufte og smagsstoffer som kanel, ingefær, peber, vanille og kardemom. Batik er den gamle kunst af at blande farver ved hjælp af voks som hovedkomponent, og Sri Lanka er en af verdens førende eksponenter. Eksempler spænder fra enkle, enkeltfarvede designs til multi-farvede mesterværker.
Ved ankomsten til Giragama vil du besøge en teplantage 1.673 fod (510 meter) over havets overflade. Te blev først plantet i Sri Lanka i 1824 ved den botaniske have ved Peradeniya, da et par planter blev bragt fra Kina. Din vilje tilbringe en time med at udforske plantagen og fabrikken, inden du rejser til Kandy, som ligger cirka 30 minutter væk.
Besøg Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic (Sri Dalada Maligawa) i Kandy, en af Sri Lankas mest hellige buddhistiske steder. Udforsk dens fantastiske arkitektur, oplev daglige ritualer og lær om relikvensens rige historie og kulturelle betydning.
Kandy, Sri Lankas naturskønne bjerghovedstad, er en UNESCO-verdensarvsliste og var den sidste fæstning for de sinhalske konger, før den blev overgivet til briterne i 1815. I dag er det et pulserende centrum for buddhisme, kunst, håndværk, dans, musik og kultur. Udforsk byen på en guidet tur, der omfatter Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic, en køretur rundt i den øvre sø, et besøg på det travle markedsplads, og stopper ved en Gem Lapidary og Wood Carving Center.

Tour and arrangements are perfectly fine but as per my experience its overpriced for what I got. This tour more to shopping I'm suggesting to avoid Spice shop. Thanks kuma for drive me

Awesome experience. Driver and the guide were very friendly. HIs name was Kumar . The drive was very tiring for us and well as for the drivers. I would certainly suggest using this company for the trip. Worth the money spent.

This tour included many stops and is well worth the money! I encourage anyone to ask questions, as there will be lots to see and experience. I was able to purchase tea, items from the spice garden and enjoy a local meal. I was amazed at the beauty I witnessed when visiting the temple. Our drive was punctual and on time. I would do another tour with this company for sure!
Excellent but long day trip Good driver and guide and amended itinerary to suit our requirements Kandy great small city
<p>This tour was ok but the journey is far too long to do in one day. Spent most of the time on the road in pretty heavy traffiic. Kandy is quite an interesting town with an attractive lake. Palace and temple visit was interesting. From start to finish the tour seemed to be one long sales trip.</p>
<p>The trip was very disappointing. The guide was more of a driver than a guide and although answered some of the questions that we asked of him, he didn't volunteer any information, at least for the first part of the day. The tour was one of commercial enterprises/shops with tips demanded in most places regardless of the performance or enthusiasm of the local shop guides. The guide asked us what our itinerary was and as we didn't have one printed out we couldn't tell him. As he didn't have one, and didn't volunteer any information we found out which factory we were going to only after arriving there. In Kandy we were stuck in traffic for an hour so only saw the main temple. The guide simply showed us the door, and didn't offer any explanation for the temple or what it's history or significance was except to tell us it dated from the last king, which meant nothing to us. The provided lunch was average.</p> <p>The driver was courteous at all times and at the end of the day went out of his way to show us several gem shops which resulted in a good purchase. However, unless you are happy to see only spice, tea, batik etc shops and nothing of Kandy, best to avoid this commercial tour. It is long - 6am start and we got back to Colombo at 10.30pm.</p>
Nearly a 3hr drive from Colombo. I think this is the only main attraction to see in Kandy, and the temple with the Buddha on the Hill... again, foreigners must pay 1500, were the locals enter for free. The main temple idol was closed-apparently it only opens on certain days. It is however beautiful, scenic and calm.
I would call this less of a guided tour, and more of a chauffeur to various attractions and shopping opportunities. The process that occurred was that the driver would take us to a location and hand us off to one of the employees at the place. While the employees were more or less informative and helpful, I was expecting to have a guided tour by a single person, not being handed off to multiple people throughout the day. Our driver was very nice and friendly, but I'm not sure that it was worth the ~7-8 hours of driving just for a few nice sights.The spice factory, tea factory, gem museum, wood carving store, and Buddhist temple were all nice, but it just seemed like too little payout for a whole lot of driving on slow, twisty, one lane roads for the entire day. If you do end up booking this tour, I would suggest calling the driver the night before to confirm the pickup time. When I called, the driver had a different pickup time than what was stated by the tour company in the confirmation email.
<p>Your tour guide is less of a guide and more of a driver/wise guy shuffling you from one tourist trap to the next for his kick backs. Initially I was quite naive to this but toward the end of the day when taken to a tourist trap for traditional clothing that should have been inexpensive, I became alarmed and enlightenedno pun intended. The temple of the tooth is brilliant and I wish we had more time there. We ended up there toward the end of the day since we were delayed by all the traps and were too exhausted to enjoy it. The tea factory was actually just a shop and not a factory at all. The wood carving place was beautiful but also mainly a warehouse for shopping. The gem museum was also more store than museum. The buffet we were taken to was delicious. Our driver told us it was really cheap at 1000 rupees. If he only knew that our guide from the day before took us to a buffet for 200 rupees a person. After this tour my husband and I regretted traveling to Kandy at all and realized we actually did better shopping and touring on the days that we set out on our own or with the help of a local tuktuk driver. In fact, I probably won't use Viator again after this tour.</p>
<p>Quite average. You get what is mentioned in the package. as you should, this is not a cheap tour. All very nice and delivered as expected. The only thing is the driver suggesting more tours only one hour into this one. It was ok and I am going to leave it with that.</p>
