5.00I had great day trip with Mr Rohan. He helped me to visit each and every place and explain every detail. So precisely I would highly recommend Sakuratravels. Those who are looking for a day tour. It’s super affordable and productive .
The tower has the turn to impress!

5.00Apart from the fact that it rained as soon as we arrived and that the mist prevented us from seeing anything, the experience was perfectly pleasant. My guide-tuk-tuk (Rohan) deserves more than 5 stars! It's been 3 days online that I call on his services!😉
Beatiful tour with Rohan

5.00We had a truly wonderful time in Sri Lanka, and a big part of that goes to Tony from the Sakura Ceylon team. From the moment he picked us up at the airport, we felt welcomed and taken care of. The very next day, he gave us a full tour of Kandy city at a very reasonable price, and he made sure we experienced the place like locals rather than just tourists. What really touched us was his kindness and generosity. Along the way, he kept surprising us with little treats like ice cream, king coconut drinks, and fresh fruits, all paid for from his own pocket. Every time we tried to return the favor, he politely refused and just smiled. It was clear that he genuinely enjoys making people happy and comfortable. We visited many beautiful places, but the fire dance experience stood out the most for us. It was magical and something we will always remember. If you are planning a trip to Sri Lanka, we highly recommend Sakura Ceylon and especially Mr. Tony. He is not just a guide, but a truly wonderful person who makes your journey feel special. - Ashok
