Kandy to Nuwara Eliya Day Tour

I joined a one-day tour to Nuwara Eliya. The town still strongly reflects the influence of the British colonial era, and even along the route from Kandy to Nuwara Eliya, the vast scale of the tea plantations makes it clear how well-organized and well-funded the system must have been at the time. It was a very insightful experience. Our guide, Kavishan, had the most fluent English of all the guides I met in Sri Lanka. Not only did he explain the history of Nuwara Eliya and daily life in Sri Lanka in great detail, but as a local from the area, he also had extensive knowledge about tea, which made the experience especially informative. Initially, I did not place much importance on learning about the British colonial influence when coming to Sri Lanka. However, in the end, this tour allowed me to understand many different aspects of the country and how they continue to influence modern Sri Lanka, which made it a very valuable experience!!!

Our tour guide - Malan was the BEST! It was an incredible day, we drove thru the mountains, toured a tea planation (he picked) lunched at a secret spot. Truly it was an amazing tour & Day. Thank you Malan for being such an amazing guide.

Milan was very knowledgeable! And incredibly helpful. He stopped at lesser known places, clearly knows the region. Aside from the fact he knows how to drive on these roads, we really enjoyed our tour with him We highly (highly) recommend!

We had a wonderful day with SD our driver. He was very informative and shared his knowledge along the way. He expertly drove us and manoeuvred around the traffic in a safe manner. Thank you for a lovely experience.

Nuraliya was a wonderful experience from start to finish. The hotel was great, with a beautiful view that made the stay truly relaxing. The food was excellent, fresh, and full of flavor. Our driver, Hasi, was outstanding—very professional, friendly, and provided a smooth, comfortable ride throughout the journey. His service added a lot to the trip. Overall, Nuraliya exceeded expectations and is highly recommended. I would happily return and recommend it to friends and family.

We would highly recommend this tour, we both had a fantastic day. Nazly our driver/guide was excellent helping us cram a lot into one day. Spice garden, tea factory, Nuwara Eliya, temple, boat trip on Lake Gregory, Ramboda Falls and a delicious lunch. Thanks again

Great day out winding through the hillsides on the up counties of sri-lanka. Our guide Naazy took us to all the places of interest. The tea tastings were great as was the visit to the famous post office in Nuwara eliya. The weather was drizzly rain, very typical for this high altitude area, however we were still able to enjoy a walk round beautiful victoria park. Nazzy is an excellent driver and navigated the roads very well.

I joined the Nuwara Eliya Day Tour. It was a satisfying trip to Nuwara Eliya where I was taken to various tourist attractions along the way.
