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.
