Five stars experience! 🌟 - We travelled from our hotel in Hatton down to Nuwara Eliya for this tour – and it was totally worth the trip. Our guide gave us one of the most memorable experiences we had in Sri Lanka.
He is incredibly knowledgeable and shared his passion for his homeland in a way that really captured us. During the day we got to learn a lot about culture, food and different places, and we got to see a beautiful waterfall. The day was filled with adventure from start to finish, but what really made the experience a five-star experience was definitely our guide – his dedication, warmth and willingness to share his knowledge made everything special.
After a long day he drove us all the way back to our hotel in Hatton, something we appreciated immensely. We have not only made a fantastic guide but also a new friend who we look forward to seeing again next time we are in Sri Lanka.
As an added bonus, he can actually also arrange transportation at really good prices. We have already booked our next trip with him to Arugam Bay.
Many thanks to Krishna our guide!! 🤍

Amazing experience! - We had an all day tour with Krishna exploring the waterfalls near Nuwara Eliya and the tea plantations. Krishna was very knowledgeable, professional and very lovely! He explained to us all about the recent history of Sri Lanka and it was very fascinating. We loved our day with Krishna so much that we booked him as a driver from Nuwara Eliya to Ella! He was again amazing. Very prompt, friendly and even drove us all the way into our accomodation (very small and rugged path). We will definitely be booking Krishna on our next visit to Sri Lanka!

Too kind a screwdriver. - He was able to take care of me despite making a late-night reservation the day before. The driver showed me the post office, tea factory, waterfalls, etc., then drove me to the bus stop back to Kandy, waited with me until the bus arrived, and even called me to confirm that I had arrived safely at the time I arrived in Kandy. Highly recommended.

Very good and helpful guide and driver - The driver was very good and helpful.
He picked us up at the station and took us to the hotel, expecting us even though the train was 1.5 hours late. So between taking us to the hotel and everything we started the tour 1 hour later. Given the delay we could not see the last scheduled attraction, the post office of Nuwara Eliya.But he proposed to see it the next day (which is absolutely not due since it was not his fault) and then took us to the station. The costs of transfers not expected charged them a little 1300 (4$)) rupees per route and believe me where pick me or other apps x transport does not work, tuk tuk drivers take great advantage of it asking 3/4 times the right).
During the tour he was extremely helpful clear in explanations and with the desire to take care of the customer.
It really deserves the 5 stars say 5 stars +++.

Great tour with the best guide - Krishna was an awesome tour guide! Very personable and easy to communicate with. We arrived early and it was pouring rain so he came to pick us up ahead of schedule, showing how flexible and considerate he is. He is knowledgeable about Sri Lanka, well-prepared and knows all the spots you would be interested in. He's also very helpful and will connect you with other services you may need throughout your travels. This tour included adventure, grand views, excellent photo opportunities and wonderful tea experiences. Would recommend to anyone.

Tea factories, tuk tuks, waterfalls - oh my! - We are a family of 4 so we reserved two Tuk Tuks for this adventure - it was a blast! Krishna and Satish went above and beyond, especially for our 12 and 14 year olds who had the most fun driving in the tuk tuks. The tea factory tours were delightful and informative. The climb to Ramboda falls may be a little challenging for some, but so so worth it! The views, sounds and feel of the mist from the falls is sensational. Recommend to anyone. You won't regret it!

Absolutely fantastic :)) - Krishna was absolutely amazing! He greeted us warmly and picked us up right on time from our hotel with his tuk-tuk. Then the adventure through the hilly landscapes began. Thanks to his driving style, the ride was super comfortable. He speaks excellent English, so he was able to share a lot with us along the way — we learned so many new things! Luckily, the weather was beautiful, and all the stops were fantastic. We got to pick tea ourselves, climb a waterfall, learn about the tea-making process, and visit the famous post office. We even saw some monkeys! :) He also gave us some great suggestions for how to spend the rest of the day in Nuwara Eliya after the tour. 11/10 - would absolutely recommend!! :))
