Great way to see a lot of Kandy in a day - Great way to see a lot of things in the Kandy region and do some shopping too. Both my guide and driver were very nice and talked to me about a lot of things so I got a better understanding of life in Sri Lanka. Very long day, so I would not make other plans.

Must try tour! - This was a very memorable and fun trip. One for the books. We had fun riding the elephant, listening to the very educational spices and medicinal herbs tour and tea processing. Finally, it was nice to see the temple of the tooth relic of Buddha and immerse into the dance culture of Sri Lanka. Worth the trip. The guide and the driver made the experience more fun.

Wonderful Family Trip from Colombo to Kandy - We went on a Colombo to Kandy and Pinnawala trip with our family and had a really wonderful time. Visiting the Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage was a highlight for all of us, especially seeing the elephants up close. We also stopped at a herbal garden and learned about different natural herbs, which was very interesting. The Kandy View Point was beautiful and gave us an amazing view of the city and the lake. The trip was well planned, comfortable, and perfect for a family experience. We truly enjoyed every moment and highly recommend it. 😊
