Scenic Kandy to Ella Journey Made Perfect with Amia 🚗 - Our recent sightseeing tour from Kandy to Ella was absolutely incredible, and a huge part of that was thanks to our driver, Amia.
From start to finish, the journey was smooth, scenic, and so well-paced. Amia was not only a safe and reliable driver, but also incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. He made sure we stopped at all the best viewpoints along the way, shared local insights, and never rushed us, which made the whole experience feel relaxed and enjoyable.
The drive itself is stunning, but having someone like Amia guiding us really elevated the experience. He was attentive, accommodating, and went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable throughout the trip.
Highly recommend this tour, and if you can, definitely request Amia as your driver — you’ll be in great hands!

Comfortable drive from Kandy to Ella - It was great to see that the driver always wanted to see where he was driving safely and stopping along the way.
I happened to have only one participant and it was a private tour, but they skipped places that I wasn’t particularly interested in.

Well organized - We stopped at the tea factory and the post office. The other places we skipped at our request. The driver always asked us if we wanted to get out, but we had all seen many temples and waterfalls. Good value for money & well organized.
I received a message from the provider the night before with driver and phone number information

Much better than I Thought - The stops were more interesting than I anticipated, especially the tea factory, which was a whole guided tour followed by trying some Ceylon tea. The views were also breathtakingly beautiful. The only problem was that the driver was late, which was a little annoying on such an early start.

Amazing value for money! Beautiful views! Friendly tour guide! - We had a great experience with this tour company! Our guide Sanjaya arrived on time, drove safely and was very kind! He showed us different places and explained where we were. We were taken to a tea factory where we tested teas, a water fall as well as a post office in Nuwara Eliya where we actually sent postcards home. The views were incredible, this trip was definitely great for value and excludes the worry of trying to sort out public transport!

Great trip! - We had a great scenic trip from Kandy to Ella. It's a good alternative to a train. You can see the surrounding landscapes and be able to stop, rest a little and view some things like waterfalls and the old post office on the way. We were even able to send postcards home. Thank you!

Good transport idea - A good idea to go from Kandy to Ella but don't expect a tour.
The driver was really nice and helped when I was feeling sick because of the road.

What a crappy trip.... - What a lousy trip. Of the 7 attractions mentioned only one seen. 3 quarters late in the morning. Guide does not inform you during trip. Don't get into it. Unfortunately, zero stars is not possible.
