This tour focuses on Kandy’s British colonial history, something most city tours overlook. Travel through the city by tuk-tuk with your local guide, Sheroen, and visit the places that shaped colonial Ceylon—from tea plantations and wartime memorials to historic hotels and government buildings.

The experience is private and flexible, allowing you to explore at a relaxed pace with time for photos and questions. Sheroen shares local knowledge and stories that bring the colonial era to life, offering insight into how British rule influenced Kandy’s architecture, tea industry, and culture.

It’s a unique way to see Kandy beyond the usual tourist sites while learning about an important chapter of the city’s past.

    Wow, what a day!!! Sheroen was a great English speaking guide for our tour of Kandy. He showed more than the scheduled stops & more. We went to the Bogambara Jail instead of the gardens & he was a great interpreter as the guide was a local worker of the jail. He was a great driver & really knows the places of interest to suit your needs. Thoroughly recommend Sheroen as his attention to detail was impeccable. Well done 👏
