Fab day out to Kandy - A long but very enjoyable day out with such a varied itinerary. From the time our guide Janaka picked us up to when he dropped us off he was very attentive and friendly. It was a very informative trip and nothing appeared to be too much trouble. Nothing felt rushed and we got to spent as much or as little time at each location as we felt comfortable with. The Temple of the sacred tooth relic was a highlight especially as there is a festival due soon and the anticipation could be felt everywhere which added to the occasion. Even the choice of where to enjoy a lunch was well thought out and the views were special. It was a most memorable day and made all the better because of the interaction with Janaka. Thank you

Fun filled day from Colombo to Kandy!! - We had a fun filled day tour from Colombo to Kandy! Janaka was an exceptional guide, he was punctual, professional, a great driver and incredibly knowledgeable about Sri Lanka. His vehicle was clean and comfortable, and he made sure everything ran smoothly from start to finish.
He was flexible with our schedule, adapting the day to suit our interests while offering great recommendations along the way. His cheerful, honest, lighthearted personality and constant smile created such a fun and relaxed atmosphere. The music was great, the vibe was easygoing, and we never felt rushed. We visited all the sites listed plus some others.
When we return to Sri Lanka, Janaka will be our first call. He truly made the day memorable! Highly recommend!

Great trip to Kandy! - This was a wonderful experience and a perfect way to see Kandy! Janaka was knowledgeable and very easy to talk to as we toured. We were comfortable in a lovely car with air conditioning, which was such a relief in the heat! Our travel time was lengthy as we were traveling from Columbo to Kandy just for the day. We had time restraints due to our cruise ship leaving later that day and Janaka worked with us to get in as many sites as possible. We would highly recommend him and this tour of Kandy.
