Scams; Worst deal ever!

1.00150 euros (176,000 LKR) for four street food snacks and a stop at an old local snack bar. That's ridiculous. The guide does his best and was super but probably goes home with a few rupees, while Viator misleads the place here. This is just a scam. NEVER BOOK

5.00. Chandana, is a lovely, gentle, well spoken man. Very clean and smart, speaks excellent English and is not pushy. The very first eating place was The Bake House. The food was delicious. We had to stop eating, to save ourselves for the next corses. We walked around the centre of Kandy, chatting to Chandana, about the area, food, and general thinks of the country. It was very relaxed and a great experience. Chandana was very helpful and a pleasure to be with. We can recommend his tours.

4.00We loved the amount of different tastes, like all kinds of fruits, sweets and snacks. It was a pity that we didn't go to the Boeddha statue and weren't given much of historical and cultural information, but it's been a good way to quickly explore Sri Lankan flavours at local sites and Umar is a kind guide who offers lots of tastings.
Must do when in Kandy
