Tea plantation tour - Chami was a great tour guide, very prompt pick up and provided a lot of detail on the tour. I would recommend using this company and tour guide again.

Overall a Great Experience! - This tour is a very efficient way to see some of the countryside and to see Nuwara Eliya if you are short on time. We really enjoyed it, and our tour guide Chami made it an excellent experience. I’ve included an itinerary , but I’m guessing it varies based on the guide and day. -Pickup at 8:30am -Stop at batik factory, gem mining factory, silk shop, herbal garden -Stop at Storefield Tea Factory for a tour and tasting -Head to a viewpoint above a wood crafting shop -Have lunch at Ramboda Falls Hotel, which has an incredible view of the falls -Head up to Nuwara Eliya and stop at the post office and Gregory Lake -Visit Grand Hotel and have a quick tour -Visit Hill Club and have a quick tour -Drive back to our Kandy hotel -End tour around 6:30pm Pros: -Chami was a great tour guide, and was waiting for us exactly on time, so we started promptly. He made sure we were comfortable, and explained the sights around us throughout the trip -Chami did an incredible job navigating the winding roads of Sri Lanka, even when it was raining -We were able to take a lot of great photos ! -Overall we left the experience happy and were glad we got to see as much as we did -We learnt a lot about how tea is made in our tour -The view of Ramboda Falls from our lunch spot was incredible. -The architecture in Nuwara Eliya is stunning, and we felt we had enough time to soak it in and tour some unique buildings -Chami stopped at some local fruit stalls (my husband really wanted king coconut, and Chami made it happen!) Cons: -The various factory tours at the beginning felt unnecessary, but these are expected on tours like this. So, just be mentally prepared. -We expected to tour one of those big tea estates you see in the pictures. You do see the estates on the car ride, and Chami gave us an option to go have a drink at Damro, but it wasn’t actually a part of our tour. It would be nice if we just had one tea factory and estate stop, at a big spot closer to Nuwara Eliya. Things to note: -Nuwara Eliya is a high elevation and can feel cold. Recommend wearing long pants, closed toe shoes, and bringing a light jacket -Make sure to bring something for car sickness if there is a potential for that, the roads are long and winding at times and we were glad we had some anti-nausea pills!

Great value, enjoyable tour - We really enjoyed our tour with Chumi! He was patient with our small children and never rushed us at any stop. The tea stops and lake are beautiful and Chumi is an excellent photographer so we got some lovely family photos along the route :)

Thank you to the team!

Excellent experience with a great driver - Our trip was excellent, it was a relaxing day during which we had the opportunity to learn about tea and got some beautiful pictures along the way. Our driver Lali, made sure to stop at the best photo spots and was a fantastic photographer. He was friendly and accommodating throughout the trip. The excellent service is well worth the trip.
