Sightseeing in Sri Lanka - We spent the day driving to various parts of Sri Lanka. The things we saw were the: Elephant Activity Spice Garden Tea Factory Waterfall View Point Our Driver was - Ferose, who was excellent in sharing the country’s history and navigating the streets for us to see & learn about Sri Lanka. I recommend Kingfisher Tours in Sri Lanka. This company is an excellent resource to utilize for excursions in Sri Lanka.

Feroz and Kingfisher Tours recommended - Feroz is a good driver, on time when picking us up at Galle Face hotel in Colombo. The car was suzuki avery, very clean, and AC was working well. He took us to Spice Garden (good 20 minute massage here for free preferrably with tips 1000-3000 LKR is enough), Ramboda Falls and a tea factory/plantation in Kandy. If you like elephants, Feroz will show you a good place here. Those were the highlights of the trip. Sadly, we saw some dirts and debris from Cyclone Dithwa. Feroz explained very well what happened before, during, and after the cyclone. So this is the humane side of the story when people lost lives, homes, and shops. However, when we passed through the roads the locals have already started their lives and business as usual. There were slight delays due to tractors with fork lift cleaning the roads. The whole one day trip was a very long one (staring from 8 a.m. until 9p.m.) but I suggest if you have more time stay in Kandy. Before we ended the tours, Feroz offered to take photos in front of the icon of Colombo (The Lotus Tower) and he is a great photographer, knows good angles. His smartphone does magic to these photos. I recommend Kingfisher Tours partner of Viator (Tripadvisor). They offer many tours to Sri Lanka.

An amazing tour exceeding all expectations - We felt like we had really won the lottery when Feroze was assigned as our tour guide. He totally understood our expectations and time constraints and delivered so much more. It was so nice to have a tour guide that was proud of his city, showcasing all the highlights and more. Far more important than any landmarks, we learnt how beautiful, kind, calm and peaceful the Sri Lankan people are with their warm hospitality. Feroze was totally flexible and nothing was too much trouble. He was an extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide and we were so thrilled with the wonderful photos he took of us too. We wish we could have taken Feroze home with us.

Flexible itinerary - You can tailor your trip as you go. Just work it out with your driver. Be sure to tell him where you might want to get out and enter a building.

We were picked up... - We were picked up promptly at the cruise port. We had a driver and a separate guide. They were both excellent. The guide was very knowledgeable and answered all our questions and he catered the tour to our desires.

Colombo tour - Akish was a very good guide and showed and explained the sites we visited or passed by. He even bought us coconut to try. The only thing that disappointed was the Gem Museum. I thought we were getting a different type of experience learning more about gems and how they go from stone to gem but instead if felt like an ambush to buy their jewelry.
