Tea factories, tuk tuks, waterfalls - oh my! - We are a family of 4 so we reserved two Tuk Tuks for this adventure - it was a blast! Krishna and Satish went above and beyond, especially for our 12 and 14 year olds who had the most fun driving in the tuk tuks. The tea factory tours were delightful and informative. The climb to Ramboda falls may be a little challenging for some, but so so worth it! The views, sounds and feel of the mist from the falls is sensational. Recommend to anyone. You won't regret it!

Absolutely fantastic :)) - Krishna was absolutely amazing! He greeted us warmly and picked us up right on time from our hotel with his tuk-tuk. Then the adventure through the hilly landscapes began. Thanks to his driving style, the ride was super comfortable. He speaks excellent English, so he was able to share a lot with us along the way — we learned so many new things! Luckily, the weather was beautiful, and all the stops were fantastic. We got to pick tea ourselves, climb a waterfall, learn about the tea-making process, and visit the famous post office. We even saw some monkeys! :) He also gave us some great suggestions for how to spend the rest of the day in Nuwara Eliya after the tour. 11/10 - would absolutely recommend!! :))

No words just simply amazing and worth it. - Our tour with krishna was fantastic! He was incredibly knowledgeable about mention specific topic or area and shared fascinating stories that really brought the history to life. He was also very organized, keeping us on schedule while still allowing for questions and spontaneous stops. A special moment was when he drop us at the train station after our trip , the train got delay and we needed transportation to travel to our next destination he gave us his number to contact to contact him and we did contact him and he immediately came down to the train station from his house and arranged for us everything without asking for any money!! I would highly recommend krishna to anyone visiting Sri Lanka. His a gem of a person. All the best to him and his team!

A Truly Magical Day in Nuwara Eliya! - Our guide turned a simple tour into an unforgettable adventure. From the moment we met, his warmth and enthusiasm made us feel like friends exploring together, not just tourists on a schedule.
One highlight was touring a historic tea plantation and factory. Our guide effortlessly explained each step of tea production—
from leaf plucking to tasting, ensuring each of us understood and appreciated the process. His knowledge added depth to the experience and made us feel truly connected to Sri Lanka’s “Ceylon tea” roots.
He was incredibly flexible, when we expressed interest in waterfalls, they suggested a scenic detour, and we ended up marveling at a breathtaking cascade, not rushed at all, just wonderful timing and patience.
It wasn’t just about showing sights he took time to recommend the best spots for photos, reminded us to hydrate, and even stopped for strawberries fresh from local farms. Their genuine care made the trip feel personal and thoughtful.
My friends and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Knowledgeable, warm, professional, and ever attentive—this guide brought Nuwara Eliya to life. If you’re looking for more than just sightseeing something rich, memorable, and joyfully shared—this is the guide to choose!

Title: The Best Way to Explore Nuwara Eliya – Mr. Tuk Tuk is a Legend! - We’ve been in Sri Lanka for 10 days and I can honestly say that Mr. Krishna, aka Mr. Tuk Tuk, made this trip absolutely unforgettable. From the moment we met him, he treated us not just as tourists, but like family — our big brother on the road!
His hospitality, dedication, and local knowledge are unmatched. Whether it was visiting the stunning Ramboda Falls, sipping fresh tea at Bluefield’s Tea Factory, or cruising through scenic tea plantations in Nuwara Eliya, Krishna made every moment relaxed, safe, and full of good vibes.
We’ve traveled to many countries, but this has truly been one of the best travel experiences we’ve ever had — thanks to Mr. Tuk Tuk. He’s professional, always on time, knows the hidden gems, and goes the extra mile (literally!) to make sure you’re comfortable and happy.
If you’re coming to Sri Lanka, don’t even think twice — book your tour with Mr. Tuk Tuk. It’s the only way to truly experience the beauty of Nuwara Eliya stress-free.
Highly, highly recommended!

Great guide - We had a great time with Kishna. We were picked up at 10 am and then drove to the waterfall and in between he often stopped to show beautiful places. After the waterfall we drove to bluefield tea plantation and had a fun and educational tour. Then back to Nuwera Eliya and had a little tour at the old post office and market
Krishna exudes pride and takes all the time to show his beautiful country.
The next day he also took us to the train station and arranged a taxi (cheapest so far) from Ella to Galle

Excellent Tuk Tuk driver with a big heart :) - Had a great day with Krishna! He picked me up from the train station on time, did a short hotel check-in and then he drove me through the entire city / surrounding area and explained all the sights in detail.
He is a very friendly guide and responds to the wishes of the tourists - you feel like you are going on a exploration tour with an experienced friend.
When he took me back to the station we saw that all trains were cancelled - without further ado he drove me 2.5h to Kandy, at a cheaper price than Uber!
You can tell that he is a tuk tuk driver with body and soul - he loves his homeland and transports a very positive attitude to life, even invited me to his family :)
PS: I recommend contacting him on WhatsApp before booking - so you can make the tour even more individual
Thank you so much Krishna - I’ll be back!

A perfect day! - Krishna was such a fantastic tour guide! He taught us so much about Sri Lankan culture that we didn’t know about, he is a very knowledgeable and friendly person.
He was really flexible with what we wanted, we even decided to change our route half way through the trip and he took us everywhere we wanted to go and even took us to specific shops to buy the things we were looking for.
I couldn’t recommend his service enough!

Great experience!!! - Super friendly, extremely helpful and a surprisingly good videographer. His English is good and he explains everything clearly and enthusiastically. We visited the Damro tea plantations, the Radamco Falls, the post office and the market – everything was perfectly arranged. This is the perfect guide for when you are in Nuwara Eliya: book this tour. You'll give it to this man!
Greetings,
Tom Cruise
