5.00A friend introduced me to a trusted driver in Sri Lanka and I met Dimuthu. My friend and I had planned to travel a week from Colombo to Kandy to Galle to Colombo. He was very courteous in his hearing and he made a schedule. So we were very comfortable travelling from the moment we arrived at the airport. Mr. Dimuthu was very kind and courteous, very knowledgeable about Sri Lankan history and culture and gave me many experiences. They always listened to our requests and treated us with care. Thank you very much. They called each other in various places to make impossible requests come true. And at the end of the trip, they made mugs and photostands with the pictures they took during the trip, to take home! I was impressed because I didn't expect them to do this. I'm really glad I asked Dimuthu to do it. I look forward to seeing you again when you go to Sri Lanka.
Great tour and great guide

5.00The tour with Lesley was brilliant. We had an amazing day around Kandy and seeing the Elephants in Pinnawala. Although this was an extra cost which we agreed as its a long way from Kandy. Lesley is a great guide and very informative about everything Would definately recommend.
Great tuk tuk experience with Lesley !

5.00Great 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!

5.00Amazing 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 👍🏻

5.00We 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

Unbeatable Kandy tour

5.00We 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!

5.00I 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!!
