A fantastic tour
Had an amazing time on this food tour in Kandy! Umair was the best—funny, witty, and super knowledgeable. He spoke perfect English and shared so many interesting insights that made the experience even better. The food stops were all fantastic, and I got to try some incredible local dishes. If you're in Kandy and love good food, definitely don’t miss this tour! Thanks for everything again. Klara 🤩

Fabulous in depth, more than just a tour!
Fantastic evening with Buddhima, with a wonderful warm welcome to Kandy right from the start. She is so full of knowledge about Kandy and Sri Lanka and we had time for really in depth conversations too, which we loved. And then there was the food! So much and so delicious - the experience at the fruit stall was especially entertaining! We cannot recommend Buddhima highly enough (and this is from 2 off-duty guides on holiday who know what it takes and really respect what a high quality experience we received :) )

The best tour & tour guide in Kandy!
My friend and I booked the 10 Tastings of Kandy tour with Buddhima, and it was perfect from start to finish. Buddhima is absolutely lovely, joyful, and happily answered all of our questions about Kandy & Sri Lanka. The food we tried was amazing - and there was SO MUCH that we ended up taking some away for the next day as we just couldn't eat everything! Do not hesitate to book this tour, or any tour, with Buddhima!
