“My guide was Dinesh Perera. He was fantastic, turned up on time at my hotel, was very knowledgeable about the places on the visit and asked me which ones I wanted to do. My favourite was the tea factory. His driving was very safe and after he took me back to my hotel he waited until I collected my luggage and dropped me off in Kandy town. This is a great tour, an amazing experience and excellent value for money. If you’re lucky you might get Dinesh as your guide.”

Danushka was on time, we exchanged information about our priorities, and we adjusted our itinerary. He also told us about the religion and history of Buddhism. We highly recommend Danushka's tours. I hope we can return to Sri Lanka someday and visit more places together. Thank you!”
