You must book with Chandika, he was very efficient and had a good vehicle with air con. He kindly waited with us for our train tickets when the shop owner was out of town and we needed them to return. Excellent

The trip was ok. Chandika was on time and the vehicle was great. The driver was very nice too. The downside was there was nothing really to see in Colombo. The trip seemed very expensive for what I got. Note everything is an extra charge and the guide was very happy to spend your money. He was very dependable, so if that’s your primary goal, you should be in good hands.Custom tour of Colombo and Kandy

Chandika was there to meet us at the airport as promised. Our van was clean and comfortable. Good AC. Chandika was not our driver but our driver was excellent. Good time with Chandika

Wir hatten einen schönen Tag mit Chandika in Kandy. Wir buchten einen Tag sehr individuell und er ist auf alle Wünsche eingegangen und wusste auf jede Frage eine Antwort. Auch der durch ihn gebuchte Transfer am nächsten Tag nach Galle lief reibungslos ab. Nochmal viele dank an dich.Toller Tag in Kandy

The tour was everything we've planed. The host took us to all the places we wanted and also showed us a couple of great places we woldn't be able to find otherwise. Chandika is friendly and helpfull, and even though we had some difficulties communicating, we had a good time traveling Kandy with him.Nice two day tour.

Chandika was punctual at arriving and picking us up from our hotel in Kandy. At first we thought we would just have a driver but Chandika was a great tour guide and actually explained a lot of things. He arranged the whole experience for us to suit our needs including visiting the temple of the tooth relic, elephant orphanage, botanical gardens, as well as a traditional Kandyan dance, a tea factory where we could purchase tea too, and plenty of scenic spots to take lots of nice photos including Kandy view point. The best part about the tour was it was completely customised to suit our needs and preferences. My mother suffers from travel sickness and Chandika made sure that the driver changed the route and stopped dad a few places for her to get fresh air. In addition, we had lunch together at a good buffet selection and was very tasty. We also booked Chandika to take us to Ella from Kandy the following day of our tour which he included in our tour price - very reasonable indeed given the price. We also stopped along the way to see a village nicknamed Little England that was very pretty. Overall Chandika was excellent at making sure all our needs and requests were fulfilled - I would recommend his services if you are visiting Kandy. Nothing was too much to organise. Thank you for a great introduction to your beautiful hometown in Kandy, Chandika!Amazing day touring Kandy

Chandika and his driver took us exactly where we wanted to go, from Kandy to Sigiriya and Dambulla. He was friendly and informative and English reasonably good. We declined the recommended village tour and lunch, which was fine, Chandika will tailor the itinerary to your requirements. Stopped at a couple of interesting places on the way back. We returned to Kandy quite late, so Chandika offered to take us to a local takeaway for food. This was his idea, and it worked a treat, and a great way to end a long and rewarding day. Thanks Chandika! Not the cheapest way to book a car and driver, but we would consider doing it again.Exactly where we wanted to go

Nuwan picked us up at Hingurahgodo. Our plane was delayed, but Nuwan adjusted the plan and brought us directly to the ancient city Polonnaruwa. The city was most impressive. The next morning a smiling Nuwan took us up on to the Sigirya Rock. A breahtaking view! After a good lunch wth local food, we were taken on safari to Kadulla National Park. Here we got a close encounter with more than 100 elephants! The next morning, we left for Kandy. Nuwan used his local knowledge and guided us through elephant orphanage, spice gardens & a teafactory- interesting! In Kandy we were shown the Temple of the Tooth & a performance by local dancers. All in all - Nuwan had a positive attitude, were able to improvise and had many suggestions to sights. Thank you for a unforgettable trip!Three nice days with Nuwan!
