Free walking tours in Kandy

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

Beautiful pause from the city, also good context from the country history 😁 Obrigada Ravi!!

My guests loved the overall experience and the great interaction and story-telling of Ravana

It was a nearly perfect tour. We enjoyed the walk through nature and the good information about flora and fauna Ravi give us. Also we get information about sriLanka history and actual information Thanks a lot for the tour

Ravi was very friendly informative and a great guide!

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 :-)

Very nice tour and a good overview about Buddhism.

Wonderful guide to a wonderful forest He loves his town and makes us love it too Highly recommended

Ravi è stato molto molto bravo, lo raccomando

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.

The walk with Ravi was fantastic. He took me to places I would never have otherwise visited in Kandy and he is a wealth of information about the history of Kandy. Highly recommend!!

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!

The information shared by the guru was well organised. A great orator and conversationalist. The tour was very engaging and informative. The walk through the rain forest is quite therapeutic.

We did good visits with Nikhil. He adapted to our choices. We have learned lot of interesting things !

More or less decent experience. The tour took 1.5 hours instead of 3 (as it's indicated in the description). Ravi sent his student Nadith - a nice 18 y.o. guy who has good English, however he is not prepared to being a good guide yet. The official data on history was presented in a bit boring way. The general knowledge on Sri Lanka traditions, economics, social life is enough for a teenager but not very fulfilling for a person interested in expanding the overall knowledge on the country. The walk in the botanical garden is simply dull)) so it's probably goid that it didn't last for 3 hours.

Ravi introduced us to Nadith, a young smart boy who guided us through the temple and gardens. Since it was only my boyfriend and me doing the tour, we had the chance to have a lovely chat with him and learn more about live in Sri Lanka as a local. The earnings from the tour are used to support school projects and help boost the education of students like Nadith. We were very happy about the experience :)

Outstanding tour. We learnt so much!

A very nice way to find out about the city’s past . Do think about communicating with your guide however, about ticket prices and adequate shoes/ outfit or such details.

Great spending time with knowledgeable local!

Great tour and guy overall

Nice relaxing walk where we visited a lesser known (for tourists) Buddhist Temple and the Royal Botanical Garden. Ravi was extremely knowledgeable about the history of Buddhism and Sri Lanka. At the Garden, we met up with a local student who gave us a great perspective on how young people in Sri Lanka view things and some of the challenges they have. Excellent tour overall and would highly recommend.
