Amazing guide !!! - Dhanu was an amazing guide. We needed to change money and he helped us with this at the start of the day. We then asked him later in the day to take us for lunch in a typical restaurant!! It was brilliant and we could not have done this without his help. His driving is excellent- felt very safe and secure in his hands. The water and the personalised gift was an absolute treat. He was extremely kind to other people- assisted a foreigner in his tuk tuk. Directed another traveller, all whilst being attentive to us. The itinerary was exactly what we wanted, and he was happy to remove/tweak the day to suit us. I can recommend him wholeheartedly as a fantastic guide. 10/10 from us!!!!!

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
