“Saman was a great guide. Informative, relaxing to be with, and professional too. You can certainly personalise your tour, I opted against the Gems place and local dancing. He arrived at 8.15 for an 8.30 departure. We started with a Buddhist temple, moved on to various gorgeous viewpoints then to Pinnawala (3500 rupees) to see the elephants that were stunning. Then a coconut stop and on to Elephant feeding, riding and washing - great fun for 7500 rupees. Saman did a fabulous job taking photos for me. We then stopped at a spice garden, which was great but felt slightly pressured to buy a product, then to the tea factory…”

“🌟 Amazing Day Tour with an Exceptional Guide! I had an unforgettable experience on the From Colombo: Discover Elephant Orphanage and Kandy Day Tour. From start to finish, it was absolutely fantastic. We visited so many beautiful places from interacting with elephants, to exploring the stunning cultural sites in Kandy, and even learning about spices, and tea production along the way. The itinerary was perfectly paced, allowing us to enjoy each stop without ever feeling rushed.  What truly made this tour special was my guide Dillip! He was incredibly kind, professional, and knowledgeable, always ready with fascinating insights about every place we visited. He drove extremely well and ensured…”

“Akila is the best and for every recommendation! We were the bigger group (10 people), who all booked the tour separately, but Akila understood with ease that we’re going all together and organized quickly our joint tour. It was very easy and smoothly to communicate and arrange everything with him. When tuk-tuks arrived all drivers were in a very good mood, smiling all the time and making fun. They kept positive mood till the end, so we spent great time with them, and they made our day wonderful and joyful. They were very flexible and had the best response for all our needs (exchange office, restaurant, buying souvenirs). During the…”

“We’ve had a really nice tour to kandy from Negombo. The guide was friendly and an amazing driver. We had a lot of space to fill in the trip the way we liked it! We’ve had an amazing day and a great look in and around Kandy! Everybody we spoke during the trip (theafactory, herbal garden) was very friendly as well!”

“Our guide was incredible! He made sure we completed everything on our list and more, he stopped off when we asked to, he showed us all the best spots, he even stopped to let us try red banana and it was delicious! He is so so lovely, spoke to us a lot and made us feel comfortable and the best advice was to remember that our money is ours and we don’t need to feel pressured to spend it and if we do, just tell him 😍 I honestly can’t recommend this enough, it was just such a perfect day all round I would fully recommend this tour but skip…”

“Tour was excellent, good driver, wifi and water were free.”

“It was a substantial and manageable programme. I did not imagine that we would be able to complete the predicted 14 hours. Our guide gave good ideas, which added to the enjoyment. Well structured sequence with the right amount of time. Our guide was prepared and did his best to provide us with cultural and historical information despite the circumstances. He guided us in a kind and calm manner. Considering the Sri Lankan driving we felt safe with him, even though the last 100 km drive home took us nearly 3 hours, we didn't want any more bends and curves!”
