Great trip! - We had a wonderful couple of days being shown around Kandy by Chintha. He was reliable - was always on time & at the pre arranged place; courteous; discussed what and where we wanted to go without pushing places we had no interest in going; and we felt really safe driving in the Tuk Tuk with him. It was a fab trip & I would have no hesitation recommending Chintha as a Tuk Tuk driver/guide.

Kandy Highligts - Akila was a great guide, picked us up from the hotel on time, was fun and nice! The tour he always agreed with us, we could also express our own wishes! He introduced us to the diversity and flair of Kandy and was able to explain many historical contexts well. Through temples, tea factory, river, Kandy Lake, Market Hall and a local dance performance we were able to collect many fantastic impressions. Thanks a lot for that, Akila...you are the best!!

Ask for Dhanu - Discover the best experiences Kandy - Definitely book Kandy city guided tuk tuk tours and ask for Dhanu as your guide to get an action packed day. Or if you want to slow down the pace I’m sure he will do that too, Nothing is too much. He goes out of his way to give you a memorable experience if what you want. And he will help you decide if your not sure of what you want in your your. Today was a whirlwind day full of the best and most exciting experiences in Kandy. And Dhanu is not just a fabulous knowledgeable Sri Lankan local, he is a super safe driver in these crazy roads and weaving in between other vehicles. I can’t say enough about Dhanu as an expert guide, and a super fun person to share the day with. He really went above and beyond to ensure I had fun and enjoyed Kandy. If you want culture, nature, gemstones, wood carvings, views, local food, and even the jungle in the middle of Kandy! And he managed to show me monkeys all in one day! And he’ll take great pictures of you so you have some memories being in the photos. Definitely ask for Dhanu.
