Thank you so much kind to write a review.

Attentive, to ensure a great tour

Delma_D, Oct 2024
Our guide and driver Dimuth was very keen and attentive to ensure our tour delivered all we aiming to see and do. He was flexible with the plan to suit us and offered great commentary with excellent English about the area, and life in Sri Lanka. We'd recommend Dimuth and tour company.

Thank you very much for your review and kind

Kandy Day Tour

Rina_B, Dec 2023
The tour guide was friendly & flexible on start time since this was a private tour & we arrived late previous night in Colombo. We went to Elephant Orphanage, Kandy & Tooth Relic Temple. The tour guide also took us to Spice Market which was a waste of our time since it seemed to be a way to con tourists into buying expensive ayurvedic herbal medicines otherwise available everywhere, the prices were 3 times here! The guide also took us to a mediocre lunch spot which is where all tour buses were stopping by for buffet lunch. The meal was also finished by the time we got there. At the Buddha temple, we got a temple guide who apparently only shows to diplomats & was free that day for a tour. He also was expecting crazy tip for narrating the story of Buddha. Overall the trip could have been better, the best part was the elephant orphanage which was not on the itinerary and we requested to visit.

Response from Host, Jan 2024

thank you for your review we took you to the herbal garden to get the experience and to know the srilankas spice and herbals. we have gone to the best buffet lunch in kandy but that day was a very busy day sorry for that

Local History and Mythology

Sowjanya_A, Jul 2023
We made it very very clear to the driver that we do Not wish to visit the Gems factory and complimentary Spice garden...... Also, since this a private tour, you can skip the Cashew market and Pineapple market. This will leave you with more time at the ELEPHANT ORPHANAGE. The Elephant Orphanage has all the usual activities - Feeding an elephant, bathing an elephant, riding an elephant etc etc. Our guide was knowledgeable and spoke fairly good English. He explained in detail, the history of the TOOTH RELIC Temple and also pointed out the scars of the LTTE attacks. He told us the various mythological and colonial stories associated with the TOOTH relic. We went to the KANDY view point and opted to go to LANKATILAKA. Lankatilaka is a very picturesque hill and the hill-top temple is dedicated to King Vibheeshan, the brother of King Raavan.

Friendly and knowledgeable tour guide, fantastic tour and good value for money.

AbdulRazak_A, Feb 2023
The whole trip to Kandy was really memorable and since it is a private tour, it suits our needs perfectly. The guide brought us to interesting places along the way to discover more about Sri Lanka.
