Kandy City Tour with Three Temples - Day Tour Around Kandy

The tour was very interesting. We did it all on foot by ourselves, arranged for the return with a tuk tuk. The temples are very beautiful

Nihal is really an excellent guide and a very safe driver. He speaks fluent English, has a lot of knowledge of Sri Lanka, religions, history and all aspects of the country and has good empathy and healthy humor. We spent a total of six days with him in Kandy, Sigiriya, Nuwara Eliya and Ella as far as Tangalle on the south coast. He took care of everything and showed us the best spots, we had a great elephant safari where we had the opportunity to experience many thick skins up close. Another highlight was a train ride on the Calypso Train from Ella to Nine Arch’s Bridge, where we took the historic train for a quarter of an hour. We can unreservedly recommend Nihal, the best guide for a perfect Sri Lanka tour at a fair price! There were four of us (Nihal included) in his Honda station wagon about 800km on the road, very comfortable and fully adequate in terms of space.

We had a great two days with Nihal. Day 1 was Sigiriya Rock, Dambulla caves and the Temple of the Sacred Tooth. Day 2 was an amazing elephant safari to Kaudulla! Nihal was friendly and informative and did a great job showing us in and around Kandy! 10/10 Highly recommended. Thank you!

We did a wonderful private tour with Nihal around Sri Lanka during four days. Our Sri Lankan friend with whom we were traveling had just left us due to other obligations, and we were a bit lost in the middle of our itinerary. However, we were truly lucky to meet Nihal in beautiful Kandy. Nihal offered to complete our itinerary for a very reasonable price, and took us from Kandy to Nuwara Eliya, Ella, Galle and Colombo. I must say that our experience with him was very positive. First, he is a very nice guy, always professional, respectful and discreet. He adapted very well to our needs, timings and budget at all times. He is also a reliable and safe driver, which is particularly relevant in Sri Lanka. He was always in a good mood despite being quite an intensive journey. He was also quite knowledgeable and resourceful, had a lot of proposals of places to visit, eat or enjoy our time. His stops along the road were also very well picked. Overall, we felt very lucky to meet Nihal along the way. Our tour with him was definitely one of the highlights of our visit to Sri Lanka and I encourage anyone visiting the country to count on him.

We are two female students and were on the road with Desi for 5 days from Dikwella to Kandy and made stops at Ella and Nuwara Eliya. On our tour we made for example a Safari at Udawalawe National Park where he surprised us with his knowledge about the wildlife and plants. He speaks very good English and was always on time. We had a lot of interesting conversations and he has a really good knowledge of the culture and history. He is also a very good and calm driver so we always felt safe with him. Desi has a lot of good connections and always finds a delicious place to eat or a fitting accommodation. If you like he is a private guide who explains you a lot of interesting things. He gave us lots of good ideas where to stop and what to visit. He always kept our little budget in mind and still found very cool things for us to do. For example we visited tea plantations where we could see the whole process and try different sorts of tea. Desi always made sure that we don't pay more than it is common. We would always recommend traveling with him through Sri Lanka as we had a really good time with him. Even after the trip he offered us always to contact him if we had a problem.

We had one memorable trip in SL last year. Thanks to Nihal who coordinated our pick up from Bentota. He guided us on the places to see and took us to the interiors of SL which no other package tour operators would do. Absolutely loved his car and the way he drove around for 7 days. He even helped us get tickets for whale watching which on my own would have missed it. We felt completely safe and secure throughout our stay. Would recommend Nihal if you are going to SL with family, friends or solo.
