Kandy is a beautiful city and we are glad we found Thara Lanka tours. We did Sigiriya, Dambulla caves, spice gardens and village tours one day 1. The prices were very reasonable, we had a mini van all to our self. On 2nd day we did the Kandy Citi tour with botanical garden and the Golden temple. Thara is a good person who goes above and beyond to make your day memorable, speaks good English and has good stories to tell.

We were contacted in advance to choose our preferred departure time. We choose to start at 6.00 am as recommended to get there early. On the day of our trip the driver was already waiting for us. We had our private car with A/C. The driver said he refuses to give us departure times for the different sites, instead we should take as much time as we want, turning this trip into an amazing and stress less experience. It also resulted in us traveling around way longer than planned/book. And still the driver was so nice and relaxed all the time. In my opinion this is the best Sigiriya tour for someone staying in Kandy, really making the most of your day.

We were contacted in advance to discuss our preferred departure time. On departure day the driver was already waiting for us. We had a private car with A/C to ourselves. At every stop he gave us as much time as we wanted to visit the sites, which turned the trip into an amazing and stress less experience ( and resulted in us being on tour way longer than expected). I think for someone staying in Kandy this is the perfect trip covering all the major sites, making the most of your day.

We had a wonderful experience with Thara! We visited Kandy and he showed us a lot of beautiful places! Not only that he is extremely nice and helpful, he also gave some interesting information about the culture and the sights. All in all we would definitely book Thara once again and recommend the tour to everyone that wants to get to know Kandy! Best, Lara and Jonas

Not only was he incredibly knowledgeable, providing fascinating insights, but he also went above and beyond to tailor the experience to our interests. His friendly and approachable demeanor created a comfortable atmosphere, making it easy to ask questions and engage in meaningful conversations. From exploring historical sites to discovering hidden gems, the guide expertise added a rich layer to the journey. What stood out the most was his flexibility and genuine interest in ensuring our satisfaction. He seamlessly adapted the itinerary based on our preferences, making the entire experience personalized and unforgettable. If you're planning a trip to Kandy, I highly recommend this guide for a truly immersive and enjoyable adventure.
