We booked Buddhika for three days of tours during our stay in Kandy and from beginning to end he proved to be invaluable. He was easy to communicate with in advance of our arrival and responded to our queries very quickly. He was also excellent at suggesting sites to visit and advise us on how we could tailor our tours.
Day one began with Buddhika meeting us at the train station and conveying us to our hotel, The Trees, Kandy (see separate review). Later that day we continued with a tour around the Tooth Relic Temple followed by a cultural show. Proving incredibly knowledgeable on the subject, Buddhika guided us through the temple complex explaining in great detail the history of it while also ensuring we didn't commit any tourist faux pas.
Day two kicked off with journeying to Nuwara Eliya or "Little England" that was a hill country retreat where British colonialists could escape the heat and immerse themselves in their pastimes such as fox hunting, deer hunting, polo, golf and cricket. These days it is known for its waterfalls and tea plantations and Buddhika ensured we saw both as requested whilst also chatting to us throughout the journey.
Day three began with a very early 7am start but yet again Buddhika was punctual and ready & waiting for us at our hotel to take us to our next requested tour, The Elephant Freedom Project (see separate review).
Incredibly friendly, Buddhika proved to be a superb guide, safe driver and brilliant conversationalist with our chats covering a wide range of topics including food, local culture, history, economics and politics. We enjoyed his company immensely and have booked him to guide us around again when we return next year.
Would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a fantastic tour guide!

Buddhika is an excellent driver and very knowledgeable about the different sights to see in Sri Lanka. On top of that, he is a kind individual, conscientious to ensure that you have the best experience possible.
