Delicious foodtour in Landy

Yesterday we did the 10-tastings foodtour with Buddhima in Kandy. We walked around the city and Buddhima could tell us a lot about Kandy and it's history. Meanwhile we ate a lot of great streetfood, it was a lot and it tastes so good! Buddhime really took time for us and we really enjoyed the evening.

Attentive & experienced!

Buddhima is a very attentive host. She showed us a very nice foodcourt and took us to the market and the oldest bakery in town. Her english is perfect, so we did not have to refrase a lot , this made it a very comfortabel experience.

Excellent food tour with Deegoda

We had an excellent food tour with a very friendly, knowledgeable guide, Deegoda. He made us try food which we would not have known to try otherwise and we enjoyed trying some fruits while getting a tour through the fruit and vegetable market. Would highly recommend booking him, and I would without hesitation book him again on a future trip to Colombo!
