Discovering Kandy - I decided to go to Kandy alone to visit the city, and fortunately I wasn’t alone for long because Dhanu, besides being a guide, felt like a friend. He was friendly, smiling, cheerful, and very helpful.

Wonderful day - We set off for the Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage today at 7:30 AM. Our driver and tour guide Dhanu was very professional; he drove safely and got us there very quickly. We had plenty of time to enjoy the views, watch the elephants, and see the elephant procession. Danu waited for us the whole time. On the way back we did several stops to enjoy scenery and make great pictures, Dhanu got us a few local pastries, it was very nice of him. It was a very pleasant trip, and we had a great day. We highly recommend Dhanu as a driver and tour guide for a wonderful and stress-free day!

All around experience - We are true with Dhanu on the tour, as we have already had some visits to Kandy, we have already seen quite a bit. However, the tour was exactly adapted to our wishes and Dhanu still gave us some exciting place we did not know yet. It is definitely an experience with all-round service. Top driver with sympathy. Can we anyone recommend the Kandy visited.

Great day out - Had a great day going to Ambulawawa Tower and a tea factory where we were shown how tea was made. The tower is a great albeit scary experience, but we are so glad we did it. Our driver, Dhanu, was fantastic, and gave us suggestions for different parts of the day, including showing us where to get a great Sri Lankan massage.

Amazing guide !!! - Dhanu was an amazing guide. We needed to change money and he helped us with this at the start of the day. We then asked him later in the day to take us for lunch in a typical restaurant!! It was brilliant and we could not have done this without his help. His driving is excellent- felt very safe and secure in his hands. The water and the personalised gift was an absolute treat. He was extremely kind to other people- assisted a foreigner in his tuk tuk. Directed another traveller, all whilst being attentive to us. The itinerary was exactly what we wanted, and he was happy to remove/tweak the day to suit us. I can recommend him wholeheartedly as a fantastic guide. 10/10 from us!!!!!

The first choice for sightseeing in Kandy - I was interested in the Amburwawa Tower and joined this tour. Ramzan, the driver assigned to me, was always smiling and friendly, an expert tuk-tuk driver whose driving felt truly exciting, like participating in Moto GP. He was also a gentleman who carefully avoided bumps. While the sightseeing guide was excellent, his driving technique was a pleasure to experience. As this tour packs in the highlights of Kandy, I consider it excellent value for money.

A great action packed day. Highly recommended! - We had a great day with Dhanu on our Kandy city tour. He arrived very punctually, was professional and spoke great English. We started off with a stop off at the Kandy view point, then onto the amazing Asgiri temple. He was very knowledgeable about the museum and the temple. We then went onto the Giant Buddha. Again, very knowledgeable, took some photos of myself and my daughter which was nice. It was a busy itinerary for the day but he was very flexible and accommodating. In the afternoon we headed to the incredible Ambuluwawa Tower. This is not for the faint hearted! But worth the leg wobbly walk up to the top for the incredible views. We then headed to the botanical gardens which were stunning. We ended the day at the Temple of the sacred tooth to a very atmospheric thunderstorm. Action packed and expertly delivered by Dhanu, who was fun, kind and interesting to be with. To be recommended!
