The first choice for sightseeing in Kandy - I was interested in the Amburwawa Tower and joined this tour. Ramzan, the driver assigned to me, was always smiling and friendly, an expert tuk-tuk driver whose driving felt truly exciting, like participating in Moto GP. He was also a gentleman who carefully avoided bumps. While the sightseeing guide was excellent, his driving technique was a pleasure to experience. As this tour packs in the highlights of Kandy, I consider it excellent value for money.

A great action packed day. Highly recommended! - We had a great day with Dhanu on our Kandy city tour. He arrived very punctually, was professional and spoke great English. We started off with a stop off at the Kandy view point, then onto the amazing Asgiri temple. He was very knowledgeable about the museum and the temple. We then went onto the Giant Buddha. Again, very knowledgeable, took some photos of myself and my daughter which was nice. It was a busy itinerary for the day but he was very flexible and accommodating. In the afternoon we headed to the incredible Ambuluwawa Tower. This is not for the faint hearted! But worth the leg wobbly walk up to the top for the incredible views. We then headed to the botanical gardens which were stunning. We ended the day at the Temple of the sacred tooth to a very atmospheric thunderstorm. Action packed and expertly delivered by Dhanu, who was fun, kind and interesting to be with. To be recommended!

A day in Kandy! - What a wonderful day! My tuk tuk driver Dhanu provided excellent guidance and organised the itinerary brilliantly. Dhanu was very helpful and provided very good information about the sites we visited. Great choice of a local restaurant for traditional Sri Lankan food too. Thanks again Dmitri D. Australia

The best tour in Kandy! - From the very beginning, Malik was kind, punctual, and always helpful. He knows the city and its surroundings extremely well and took us to see not only the most famous landmarks but also authentic, less touristy places that we would have never discovered on our own. Along the way, he shared interesting stories and local insights that made the journey even more enriching. One of the most special moments of our trip was entirely thanks to him: Malik managed to get us tickets to the Esala Perahera, the famous traditional festival in Kandy — tickets that seemed impossible to find! Because of him, we got to experience something truly unique and unforgettable, right in the heart of Sri Lankan culture and tradition. His tuk-tuk was clean and comfortable, and we always felt safe and at ease. What we appreciated most was Malik’s honesty: he never pressured us into tourist traps or souvenir shops — something that, unfortunately, happens often in touristy areas. Instead, he was always genuine, respectful, and full of positive energy. If you’re in Kandy and looking for someone reliable and kind to show you around, we can’t recommend Malik enough. He’s not just a great driver — he’s a wonderful person who made our time in Kandy truly special. Thank you, Malik! We hope to see you again someday!

Great Trip! - 10/10 recommend it! Sanath is an amazing guide and made sure that I could see as much as possible today. Thanks to him, I was able to visit numerous sights, try new foods and see monkeys up close. I can't imagine a better driver!
