5.00Thilina was so friendly and knowledgeable! He drove us from Kandy to Nuwara Eliya. The roads were windy but he drove very carefully. He took us to a spice garden and tea plantation on the way. His knowledge of Hinduism and Buddhism was very impressive. He waited with our luggage as we did each experience and we felt safe with him. Recommend booking a tour with Kandy my Trip! The price was reasonable too. He took some great pictures for us too. Thanks so much Thilina!
