Ella Private Day Tour de Kandy

The guide, Kavindo, was wonderful and entertained us while smoothly guiding us from Candy to Ella! The tea train that I couldn't buy on the official website, I finally made it happen with a ticket. We were able to have various conversations in the car, and they taught me a lot of trivia about Sri Lanka. Since there are few tours that can accommodate the long drive from/to Candy, I highly recommend it! I got carsick on the way home, but it was kind of you to buy me a drink, thank you very much.

My boyfriend and I did the excursion from Kandy to Ella, including the scenic train ride and all the amazing activities along the way. Kavi, our guide, was truly special! He took us to see all the most beautiful attractions and made the whole experience even more enjoyable and unforgettable. It was definitely a day to remember. I highly recommend this excursion, and I truly hope you are lucky enough to have Kavi as your guide too! He is an exceptional person, kind, helpful, and passionate about his work. Thank you so much for everything, Kavi! ❤️

The trip was very enjoyable. We packed in several activities and had a very informative and helpful guide.

The Little Bus was an Oldtimer There are much better and much cheaper Cars with Drivers available umbrella was there but broken The Tour Guide tried his best …… I can Not recomend this tour

We had a enjoyable and comfortable day trip. Timely picked up from our hotel. Our guide/driver Lal Kumarage took excellent care of us. He went out of his way to make sure we see things which were not even part of the itinerary. Lovely human being and we will always be grateful to him. Kajal, Niraj and Ishan from UK

Our guide, Lal, has been absolutely perfect. On time, available and always happy to help and explain the surroundings. Very much suggested!

Drivers were fantastic given the traffic and weather conditions. The locations visited did not require entry fees so not sure how it’s an inclusion. No WIFI or water was provided and we had to pay $30 extra for a tuk tuk to the bridge because the van couldn’t go past a certain point. Ella and the other locations were beautiful but this is just a transport service and probably would be better off booking a driver opposed to this day tour.

Unfortunately, this tour was a huge disappointment and by no means what was promised on the website. For €235.65 we expected a comprehensive day tour with several stops and sights – instead we were only driven from Kandy to Ella, only a tea factory we saw. At our request at the end of the trip, whether we would at least visit the Nine Arches Bridge, we were advised to do so at our own expense the next day with a tuk-tuk. Only after urging, because this was supposed to be included in the tour, we were organized a tuk-tuk. For what was ultimately offered, we could have just taken a taxi for a fraction of the price. This tour was absolutely not worth their money and I cannot recommend it.

This tour came about because we had a Kandy to Ella train booked and it was cancelled at the last minute. The company agent worked really hard late at night to sort us out for the following morning. The trip was modified to accommodate our needs and the price adjusted accordingly. That’s pretty good service by anyone’s book and shows that this firm won’t leave you in the lurch.

This is a highly recommended trip to learn about the best teas in Sri Lanka, the most beautiful mountain views, and the interesting towns and delicacies along the way. My guide, Mr. Randika, is very good. He is very professional and arranges the schedule of the day very reasonably. Before the heavy rain, he showed me all the scenic spots that needed to be hiked. His driving skill was so good that he took me through the fog and sent me back to the hotel safely. He is very familiar with the scenic spots along the way and stops at every place worth taking pictures.
