Best tour in my life :) Going up to the Ambulawawa tower wasn’t tiring and the view was stunning. Better go early in the morning so you don’t get stuck. My driver Ramzan was so kind, nice and engaging with his personal Tuk Tuk with also the music on the way. Thank you for that incredible day

We had an amazing day in Kandy thanks to Sanath, our tuk-tuk driver and guide! He was kind, fun, and super knowledgeable about the area. He took us to feed monkeys (such a cool experience!), visit beautiful temples, and even enjoy a traditional cultural dance show. He was always on time, drove safely, and shared great stories along the way. Highly recommended if you want to discover Kandy with a local who truly cares!

Despite booking early in the morning on the same day, they quickly coordinated everything and responded promptly to my questions via WhatsApp. I really appreciated that they accepted my solo booking for white-water rafting. It was my first time rafting in Sri Lanka, but they gave clear instructions at the beginning, and the rapids were thrilling and incredibly fun. I wore a swimsuit, so getting completely soaked only added to the enjoyment. I was also happy they took photos for me with my phone during the trip. At the swimming area, we had time to float and relax under the beautiful weather. The staff even picked some seasonal fruits from nature and let us taste them—something I’d never experienced before. Throughout the tour, they checked on us and offered kind support, so I felt safe the whole time. I’d definitely recommend this tour to friends and family. Thank you for the amazing time!
