★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 99 reviews · 12 hours · from $55

Review of a Colombo to Kandy day trip with elephants, the Sacred Tooth Relic, tea tasting, crafts, costs, tips, and honest drawbacks.

“The trip was absolutely worth it. I enjoyed how Rahim, my tour guide, maximized the tour and suggesting more places I should visit while I was in the area, though we covered all places to visit in the tour. I guess it was Rahim who made this tour a success and I owe him big time for making my encounter with the elephants a memorable and exciting one. He is so reassuring and makes things easier for me not to mention his patience in taking A LOT of photo for me.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 11 reviews · 14 hours · from $49

Review of a 14-hour private Kandy tour from Negombo, with Pinnawala elephants, tea country, temples, gardens, and optional cultural stops.

“It was a substantial and manageable programme. I did not imagine that we would be able to complete the predicted 14 hours. Our guide gave good ideas, which added to the enjoyment. Well structured sequence with the right amount of time. Our guide was prepared and did his best to provide us with cultural and historical information despite the circumstances. He guided us in a kind and calm manner. Considering the Sri Lankan driving we felt safe with him, even though the last 100 km drive home took us nearly 3 hours, we didn't want any more bends and curves!”
