Kandy City Tour avec Mahaweli
Description
Kandy est l'endroit où l'histoire et la tradition sont combinées pour créer une culture. Capitale du dernier royaume cinghalais, qui tomba aux mains des Britanniques en 1815 après avoir défié les Portugais et les Hollandais pendant trois siècles. Il a fallu encore 16 années difficiles aux Britanniques pour finalement construire une route reliant Kandy à Colombo. Ne pas insister pour passer au moins un jour dans la ville de colline brumeuse qui semble bien, même quand il pleut. Certains jours, le ciel de Kandy semble perpétuellement meurtri, avec une brume tenace accrochée aux collines qui entourent le magnifique lac central de la ville. Cette visite guidée de Kandy visite plusieurs points forts de la ville classée par l'UNESCO avec notre chauffeur / guide professionnel

Amazing! Driver was on time, safe driver, courteous, polite and very patient. Unlike other drivers (from other companies) he did not talk on his phone while I was in the car
Pleasant car journeys from sight to sight. The time and place were individually arranged well in advance. My driver Dilshan gave me enough time for the stops at the places so that I could see everything at my leisure. I highly recommend Mahaweli Tours. Many thanks and all the best Irina

I really enjoyed this tour. It was amazing experiencing the city with a guide. We stoped at all interesting locations. My guide Nuwan was very kind and attentive. As I went alone on this tour, he tried to make me comfortable the whole time, took pictures of me so that I would have memories, kindly answered all my questions. The agency was very professional, they sent me all the information the night before. In the morning, Nuwan was punctual, he picked me up in front of the hotel at the agreed time. We visited all the listed locations and then he dropped me at my hotel. I honestly recommend this tour and this agency!

The car was very good. Clean and tidy and very spacious. Dushan the driver is one of the best person we have met in Srilanka. He showed us places, helped us buy artwork for our house, negotiated with the shopkeepers on our behalf. He made us both very comfortable. He is also a very safe driver. We would recommend him with eyes closed.

Had this tour on my first day in Kandy, trains were on strike during my visit so I was super late, we started like 1pm I think (thankyou for adjusting!). I was with Nisantha, a great guide. We went to a war cemetary, a tea factory, a gem store, to the longest river in Sri Lanka (forgot the name) and to the Temple of Tooth (but we werent able to go inside it cause there were like lots of police that day standing outside and will be hard to get in, so I just went the next day). At the end of the tour I wanted some kotu roti, so we went to a place which i forgot the name and eat (best kotu roti on my entire stay in Sri Lanka). Booked my Sigiriya tour with them too. Very safe! Thank you so much!
Dear Sir/Madam, Thank you very much for your kind words and the time spent on making this comment. We are really happy to see that our staff is giving the maximum service to satisfy our guests. Please keep in touch. Thank you :)
The tour is very nice and covers all the “important” spots in Kandy. However my guide didn’t speak much English so he ended up being more of a chauffeur than a tour guide. Expected to learn more about the city’s history and culture. Recommended if you want to see the Kandy sights in one day! If your preferred language is English remember to request for an English speaking guide.
Dear Madam, Thank you very much for selecting Mahaweli for your day tour. Glad you loved the trip and thank you very much for the advice. We are working on the languages and we will do better in the future. Please visit us again. Thank you.
It was a pleasant trip. Nicely arranged by the tour advisor Prasad. We have covered the temples during our stay and the driver by the name of Jehan guided us. He gave us the brief history about them. They were punctual and made our journey extraordinary. 😊😊
Dear Sir/Madam, Thank you very much for the encouraging review about our service and the staff. Hope you will recommend us for all your friends those who are visiting Sri Lanka in future. See you again :) Thank you. Khulood
Great day, knowledgable tour guide and we were able to see everything we wanted to and more because of our expert guide.
Dear Sir, Thank you very much for your great review and the kind words. Please do visit Sri Lanka again we will be happy to be your travel partner with the same great service once again. Thanks again
The tour operator, Mr. Prasad was kind enough to tailor the tour to our liking and preferences. Everything was well arranged, nothing was rushed, and we had plenty of time to complete most items on the itinerary. Nishantha, our guide / driver had extensive knowledge of the city, and kept us entertained with the history and culture of the city. Highly recommended. Not to be missed by any person visiting Kandy.
Dear Sir, Thank you very much for the very encouraging words. It was great that we had you as a guest of Mahaweli. Thank you very much for selecting us. And thank you very much for allocating some time for us for a chat at the end of the first day. Hope you will visit Sri Lanka again and we are looking forward to serve you with the best of Mahaweli Hospitality.
As a traveller on my own, I always like to do a guided tour on my first day in a new city/town to help me get a feel for the place. With only two nights in Kandy, this was even more important. The great customer service started right after booking when Dilani messaged me to confirm my booking and offer assistance if I needed anything else for my trip. The day before the tour, my guide, Harry, messaged to confirm pick up time and location. I was also able to make suggestions for what I wanted to see. And when I needed an HSBC atm, he knew where to take me! Highlights include Temple of the Tooth, Kandy Lake, the viewpoint, royal botanical gardens - with monkeys! - and then stops st boutiques for shopping if you want.
Thank you so very much for such a great review. We are pleased to hear that you have enjoyed your travel experience with us. MTH is really proud and honored to host you. We look forward to seeing you again. May you have a wonderful life
