Last minute booking, a day to remember! - We started Our tour at Ambuluwawa tower on top of a high hill . The spiral stair got tighter and tighter as it went up. About 4ft across at the top! My legs were like jelly before I couldn't get any higher up. 4 people in front stopped me getting to the pinnacle. No passing possible. Next we went onto Pinnawal elephant orphanage where the elephants were fed and taken down to the river to bathe. From there we went to tea factory. Tasted some teas and enjoyed the description from our host into how they make them and why. From there we went to the royal botanical gardens where we enjoyed the different plants, trees and wildlife. Finally a stop at Bahirawakanda Temple on the hill top in Kandy. Today was a great day out. There was far more we could have gone to see with our guide Ramzan. He was very good in letting us choose what to do, but provided good advice also. He spoke excellent English and very kindly bought us some biscuit snacks and a bottle of water. A lovely person to spend the day with.

Fantastic day trip around Kandy - Before booking we had been warned about a tuk tuk day trip, saying it would be too uncomfortable. I'm very glad to say this was not the case! Everything was smooth from the moment we were picked up by our very nice guide Ramzan, in his nice clean modern tuk tuk, which also had a handy place to keep our bags to make the ride more comfortable. Ramzan got us some snacks on the way which was very kind and we set off for a day of adventure. Everything was done at our pace and we could choose if we wanted to skip anything on the list. There's so much to do and see that not everything will be what everyone wants to see. It was also very interesting talking to Ramzan about Sri Lanka and his family, so we could learn a bit more about the differences and similarities with the UK. Thanks for a brilliant time!

Best tuk tuk guide in Sri Lanka - Dhanu is the best guide in Sri Lanka! Me and my friend feel safe with him and his tuk tuk. It was first time for us when we took a ride with a tuk tuk, but it was awsome! Danu knows a lot of beautiful places there and he drove us safe! He is the best!

Tailored private tours with a mindful, friendly guide! - Dhanu was an awesome guide! He almost instantly assessed what we wanted from the day and even added stops that fitted our needs perfectly. Most importantly, we enjoyed his company and he found us some great bargains at the local market. Feel assured to trust him and his company for quality tours!

A tour that covers all of Kandy's attractions - Really enjoyed the tour. It's a big day as the tour covers all the main tourism sightseeing locations, so we definitely took in a lot in the time allocated for the tour. This itinerary includes a trip to Gambola to see and climb the Ambuluwa tower. Akila was a really knowledgeable guide who took some great photos for us. I would recommend this tour, especially if you are short on time and Iwant to see see most of the main locations in Kandy.

Great city tour of Kandy - We had a fantastic day. Ramzan was a great guide and we had a lot of fun with him visiting all the different sites. He was fantastically helpful, flexible and made the whole tour very enjoyable. He even went out of his way to find a great restaurant for us for dinner, which we loved. It was a great tour, but Ramzan made it more enjoyable. Thankyou very much. We had great fun at the Elephant Project, the temples were very interesting. We learnt a lot.

Safe and well advised to any destination with Tuk Tuk Experience - We felt comfortable all day. Even my headache was taken care of, because we stopped at a pharmacy. We liked the Herbal Plant the best. We are happy to recommend this guide.

Tuk tuk touring Kandy with Abdul Ramzan - Such a great day with Abdul Ramzan! We tuk-tuked around Kandy and saw all the wonderful sites - temples, stupas, the amazing botanical gardens garden, a garden where the herbs and spices are grown that become Ayurvedic medicines, a tea factory, etc. He pointed things out along the way I would have missed, made impromptu stops upon my request. A truly lovely day.
