A bit disappointed, poor value for money
Tour was ok but nothing extraordinary for 60$. You see basic things and the tea factory tour wasnt planned well in terms of timings so ended up skipping it. I think it is better to hail any tuk tuk in the street and ask them to bring you where you want, you’d end up paying less and do whatever you like
Operator response
Hello and thanks for your review. You could definitely hail any tuktuk in the street for a cheaper price. However, our drivers are fully licensed and insured to provide you with a safe experience. With regards to the tea factory, they often change their tour times but we will work better in the future to plan ahead of time.

Excellent way to get around Ella quickly
With this tour you're mostly paying for the tuk tuk transport, which makes getting to a lot of the sites much easier, but you don't get a lot of info or history. I, unfortunately, had climbed Adam's Peak the day before and came down with a cold that morning, so I was too tired to do a lot of the hiking and activities as part of the tour. Still I'd recommend this as an option.

Enjoy Ella with Vijay!
Our time at Ella was short but with Vijay’s help we managed to cover a lot. He is an amazing guide, on time, made our time at Ella memorable. I highly recommend Vijay as a private guide.

Impressive natural sceneries and the best guide
Stunning view with a wonderful stay at Ella. Host is very welcoming and supported us in everyway he can. He was very kind and took us to visit most beautiful places in Ella. We didn't even know that there are so many amazing places to visit in Ella even though we are locals, hence, kudos to our guide.

Great guide and transportation in Ella!
I had a great time in Ella, in large part thanks to Vijay. I saw everything I wanted to and things I didn’t even know I wanted to at his suggestion. He offered a fair price and was a great guide during my stay at Ella Alpine Resort.

Our tour guide, Vijay, was amazing! He helped us organize a fully packed day in Ella, and it didn’t disappoint. He arrived on time and waited patiently for us before taking us through Ella’s main landmarks, all at a very competitive price. Highly recommended — I would definitely do it again!
