Born and raised in Kandy, I know the city and its surroundings inside and out. Sri Lanka is rich in heritage and culture, and I want to introduce you to this beautiful country and my hometown. With my TukTuk I will pick you up at your hotel or any other location and take you to some of my favorite places around town. I will cater the tour to your wishes and take you to touristic highlights as well as hidden local gems. You are interested in tasting traditional foods? I will show you where to try fresh king coconut, delicious samosas and other dishes. Some of my go-to places are the local tea factory, the Nelligala International Buddhist Center and the Buddhist temple with the giant Buddha statue. The attractions listed in the tour details are examples of spots we can explore together. I'm looking forward to being your local tour guide and creating an unforgettable experience for you!

Dinesh gave us a bombastically good tour of Kandy and surroundings. He showed us all the major sights and more, was super nice and very funny. He responded to our wishes and made the perfect tour for our available time. We would book again immediately with him!
Excellent, friendly and knowledgeable. Nothing too much trouble. Nice guy. Looked after us and took us to interesting places. Great value.
We spent a magical day next to Dinesh, he showed us the most typical and beautiful places in Kandy. Between the Tea Factory, the Wood Carving in a Family House, Medical School and not to mention the most famous monuments of Kandy such as the White Buddha and the Temple of the Relic of the Tooth, this day was rich in memories. He was able to adapt to the desires we had with kindness and benevolence. Dinesh is a guide who makes the whole walk comfortable: punctual, accommodating, always smiling and kind. It was my favorite day in Sri Lanka thanks to him and his knowledge. Thank you for everything Dinesh 🤟🏼 Coconut 🇫🇷🇫🇷
Hi Dinesh, today was an absolute delight. We were honoured to be your first booking via Viator and wish you all the very best for the future. Please book with this young man, his knowledge is amazing and he is extremely kind and helpful in every way - he even took me grocery shopping on the way home to the hotel. A pleasure to have spent the day with you - Neil and Heather from Scotland
