Great day with Lesley. Took me around and customized the schedule as I had already seen some of the things in Kandy. Highlight was the view of the city of Kandy and trying to find a lunch place that was opened considering today was a national holiday.
Friendly and hospitable guide!

Amazing tour experience with Lesley. Lovely conversations, ask him anything about Sri Lanka livelihood! If you have any requests on your itinerary, he tries to fulfill them too. Treated me mangoes, king coconut and red bananas to try - they were very delicious! Very friendly and hospitable 👍🏻
The best driver and experience

We booked with Lesly and his son 2 days. Incredibly friendly and has shown us a lot of Kandy. You see his job done with heart and soul. Always with a smile. Also the best price, highly recommended. Lesly also knows a lot about history, and that is also a plus. Day 2 we went to Nuwara Eliya with his son. What a sweet son, the father. Along the way we could see many waterfalls, a beautiful location for our coffee. We will never forget these moments. And when we come back no doubt we book them again.
Very good experience thanks to lesley

We had an unforgettable TukTuk tour around Kandy with our guide Lesley. We spent the whole day with him visiting the temples and the most important places in the city, and he was always kind, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable. He explained in detail the history of Kandy, its temples, and Buddhism in a way that was both engaging and easy to understand. Without a doubt, he has been the best guide we’ve had on our trip: attentive, friendly, and always ready to answer any question. The value for money is unbeatable. We give him a full 10 out of 10 and highly recommend booking with Lesley – it’s truly the best way to discover Kandy!
Amazing Experience!

I had the best experience with Lesley. He showed me all the important places in Kandy in one day and even got me some fruit he knew I liked. He's doing the tour like you want it to, so if you want to skip some places, that's not a problem. He has lots of knowledge about the culture and Buddhism, which is not a usual thing (noticed other driver just letting the tourists watch the sights & than drove away very quickly). I felt very safe as a solo traveller woman. I can highly recommend spending a day with him. :) thanks again!!
A truly unique day with a wonderful guid
