The tour was really interesting. Ramzan was very kind, took us to many places, gave us great recommendations, and looked after us throughout the day. We visited several temples, various craft workshops, and a tea factory, among other places. He also stopped so we could try some local fruits, which were delicious. It was a wonderful experience overall. 100% recommended!!

Our tour with Akila was such a wonderful day! Akila was very knowledgeable and taught us a lot about the history of Kandy. We spent a great amount of time at each location. For me, the highlight was the Botanical Garden. What a beautiful place! We also had some surprise stops along the way to try some fruit! For a very good price you can experience all that Kandy has to offer in a day, with a joyful and personable guide! Thank you Akila!

Thank you for valuable feedback
We had a very nice tour with Ramzan. It was a full day and we saw everything we wanted to see and it was possible to skip things we didnt want to see. Ramzan drove very safe, waited everywhere for us and has nice music in his tuktuk. It was a very good day 🙂
The driver, Janet, was on time, friendly, and communicated well with us . He was very knowledgeable about the White Buddhist area, and facilitated our being told by onsite experts about the herb garden and tea factory. His driving was proficient and safe.
