5.00It was very peaceful and serene, everywhere he took us looked beautiful and he recommended every activity which ended up being worth our time. He also explained different stories while at the temples. Took us around 5-6 hours all around the areas, and admission was relatively cheap. Best for people looking to be with nature, and want a deep cultural insight into people’s beliefs and such.
Highly recommended! He...

5.00Highly recommended! He was extremely kind, knowledgeable and helpful throughout the whole tour. He explained a lot about Kandy, the culture and the different places we visited, which made the experience much more interesting. Always friendly, patient and never rushed anything. Everything was perfectly organized and I felt very comfortable the entire day. One of the best Tuk-Tuk drivers I’ve had in Sri Lanka!

5.00I had a wonderful experience . Athula was incredibly informative, friendly, and professional throughout the entire journey. At each place we visited, he took the time to explain details and share useful insights, which made the trip even more enjoyable. He also went above and beyond to ensure I was comfortable—especially in the afternoon when he thoughtfully provided me with fresh local fruits, which was a lovely touch. Overall, it was a great experience, and I would highly recommend his services to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and courteous driver.
Totally recommend
