Awesome experience. Driver and the guide were very friendly. HIs name was Kumar . The drive was very tiring for us and well as for the drivers. I would certainly suggest using this company for the trip. Worth the money spent.

This tour included many stops and is well worth the money! I encourage anyone to ask questions, as there will be lots to see and experience. I was able to purchase tea, items from the spice garden and enjoy a local meal. I was amazed at the beauty I witnessed when visiting the temple. Our drive was punctual and on time. I would do another tour with this company for sure!

This tour was ok but the journey is far too long to do in one day. Spent most of the time on the road in pretty heavy traffiic. Kandy is quite an interesting town with an attractive lake. Palace and temple visit was interesting. From start to finish the tour seemed to be one long sales trip.
