We really enjoyed our Kandy Food Tour with Umair. He was very knowledgeable and friendly and we felt he was an excellent guide. We would have liked slightly more variety in the food and felt the price was pretty high overall but enjoyed the experience. Excellent experience but overpriced!

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 🤩A fantastic tour

My party of 3 recently completed a food tour with Umair. We enjoyed the market visit and learning about some different foods, however we don’t think it was value for money. In past with locals food tours we got to try a wide variety of foods and learn about the local area. Umair seemed distracted and we felt rushed, and in fact we finished an hour earlier than expected.Dissapointed.

We had a fantastic afternoon spent wandering around Kandy chatting with Umair, tasting lots of delicious things. Umair took the time to understand our knowledge of Sri Lankan food and was able to tailor the experience to us. We could not have asked for a better guide.Brilliant afternoon!

Embarking on a street food tour in Kandy with Umair was an absolute delight! Umair, our fun and knowledgeable guide, made the culinary journey unforgettable. The highlight was The Muslim Hotel; the fried paratha left such an impression that we found ourselves returning the next night, unable to resist the lingering dreams of its delicious flavors. A must for food enthusiasts seeking a perfect blend of fun and expertise!Fantastic food tour! Umair is the best!
