Great tour if short on time/one day only.

5.00My driver Ishan was lovely! I was on my own, and felt looked after by Ishan. He was very accommodating, as I only had limited time and had to skip some parts. The tour itself is a good way to see Kandy highlights. The gem ‘museum’ and tea factory are both shops that strongly encourage you buy things (the tea was very expensive!). Ishan took me to some lesser known Buddhist sites, which were a nice bonus and the Botanical Gardens were the highlight for me. If you are short on time like I was, this is great way to see the highlights.
Incredible tour and experience

5.00Everything you could want in a tour and we have been on more than our fair share. Lanka has impeccable English and give you a great depth of the history of the city. See something and ask “what’s that” and he will whip the tuktuk over and explain. We even had new foods and pink coconut for the first time. Time was not a concern for him which is a rare thing to find. Can’t recommend him any more highly.
One Perfect Day in Kandy — With Laka as Your Guide

5.00If you have only one day to spend it in Kandy (like us), spend it with Laka. Laka is an amazing tour guide - authentic, very kind and willingly customizes the trip to your schedule and interests. He is very knowledgeable about Sri Lankan culture and knows Kandy in and out. Since we are vegetarians, he took us to an amazing lunch place which had all the "must-eat" Sri Lankan local dishes at extremely reasonable prices. We just pigged out. Because he is known to the owners, they even let us pay after we ate our meal. At the end of our trip, he even dropped us at the railway station after picking up our luggage at the hotel - which is clearly not part of his responsibility!

5.00Lak is amazing, his enthusiasm and passion is clearly visible when he shows you around and explains. I can say, hands-down this is the best and only day tour you should be opting in Kandy. Lacquer is amazing, his enthusiasm and passion are visible when he shows you around and explains. I can tell you that this is without a doubt the best and only day tour you should choose in Kandy.
