Exciting tour

Very nice tour lead by Degoda. It was a food tour but he mixt it with some cultural things . He is always full of energy and seems to know everybody in the street and market,then you are welcome everywhere by warm smiles.

Fantastic Local Tour

This food market tour with Priyantha was excellent and exactly what I was looking for. We walked through the Pettah neighborhood and market and stopped along the way to try something or look at a cultural site. Priyantha was a great guide and would definitely recommend for others!

Great food and thoroughly enjoyable

Me and my wife really enjoyed our food tour with Buddhima. We had asked her to take us to places that served food with a spice level the locals eat, and she really delivered. The food was delicious and Buddhimas company and our conversations with her throughout the tour was a highlight of our stay in Sri Lanka. Would highly recommend to anyone passing through Kandy.
