This tour is highly recommended. It shows the non touristic part of Kandy. Ravana even got his car because it was raining. We got to know things about his school and also history about Kandy. It was a good evening with nice talks and discussion about the history of Sri Lanka.

Our walking tour with Ravi was great. Ravi was extremely knowledgeable on the history of Sri Lanka, Kandy and was happy to answer any of our questions. Ravi was warm, extremely friendly and made the tour intriguing. On the day of the tour, it was raining all day in Kandy, however Ravi was great at communicating, and informing us of the plan and of other options if we were rained out.

Temple of the Sacred Tooth Kandy: Complete 2-Hour Spiritual Journey

Communication, information, professionalism Rasika was great from the moment the tour was booked! Our accommodation was far from Kandy and he provided door to door service. Insightful information and a snack of fruit and water during a long day of tours and sight seeing was much appreciated. If you want a more personal interaction with a small group, this is your guy!

Nuestro guía fue muy amable, nos enseñó el templo correctamente y después del tour nos ayudó en temas personales que necesitábamos resolver con nuestro hotel y gracias a su ayuda pudimos resolverlo. Muchas gracias por todo. Da gusto encontrar gente tan amable.

Temple of the Sacred Tooth Kandy: Complete 2-Hour Spiritual Journey

We booked the tour the day before. The organiser messaged me straight away to ask what I would like to see. He then customised as a tuk tuk route to our desires. There were four of us on the trip. We got a tuk tuk between two of us and a guides each. The guides were Athula and Gayan. Both spoke fantastic English and were very knowledgeable. They were both locals of Kandy and were clearly very passionate about the city. They provided brilliant insights and information about the city and its blended culture. I would definitely recommend this tour

Great way to learn a bit more about Kandy. Rasika was very helpful and kind. The tour was done based on our interests and this made the experience even more unique.

We had a very nice tour with Ravika today who after we booked contacted us to propose a tuk tuk tour instead. This made the tour much easier and we were able to visit several interesting sites including an Ayurveda herb garden and clinic. Ravika contacted us in advance with the proposed itinerary which we could amend as per our wishes and time available. We really appreciated his flexibility. Thank you Ravika

Botanical Garden and the Buddhist temple of Getambe

Ravi was a great guide. The forest he took us too was magical, cool and calm after being in the busy city. Ravi gave us lots of info on the trees and wildlife in the forest together with the history of Sri Lanka. The view point looking down on the city is fab. Afterwards we visited the beautiful school chapel with amazing frescos. Such a calm place. We would highly recommend this tour. Many thanks

Ravi was a very knowledgeable and friendly guide and gave us information about the flora and fauna of Sri Lanka, plus some of its history as we walked through the Royal Park overlooking Kandy. The Anglican Church with its unique murals were a real highlight and something very special for our group to experience.

Wir hatten eine wirklich tolle Tour mit Ravi! Er hat uns super viel gezeigt, erklärt und konnte gleichzeitig alle unsere Fragen beantworten. Es hat sich fast schon angefühlt wie ein Spaziergang mit einem guten Freund! Wir würden Ravi jederzeit weiterempfehlen :-)

We did the Getambe Temple and afterwards we the university. Ravi gave us an amzing authentic tour and provided a lot of intersting informations about buddishm and how to pray at a temple. Afterwards he gave us a little tour of the university. He gave us 5 very good resturant recommendations especially with vegeterian or vegan options. All in all it was a great experience and we can highly recommend a tour with Ravi.

We had an amazing experience with Ravi. Ravi knows a ton about the (colonial) history of Sri Lanka and is very passionate about sharing it. The tour was as follows: first a walk through the forest, where he talks about the Kandyan Kings and the foreign colonial powers. He is very open to questions. When there is something natural during the tour which is interesting, he also points it out, although it is certainly not the main part of the tour. We also shortly discussed the turbulent period up till 2009. Afterwards, we went to the chapel of Trinity College, where he went to school. The chapel is discussed architectually and historically, together with the British schooling introduced in Kandy. In short, a tour where the information provided is very dense, with a lot of interaction. We loved it!

I really enjoyed my walking tour with students Yashod and Ishika. They were both very friendly, and they led me on a very well-planned and informative tour of the Botanical Gardens and Getambe Temple. They were very enthusiastic about sharing their culture and everyday life in Sri Lanka, and I was able to ask plenty questions and learned so much about Sri Lanka that I never would have picked up on my own. A really enjoyable and memorable experience!
