★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 207 reviews · 4.5 hours

Explore Nuwara Eliya by private tuk-tuk with tea picking, factory visits, Ramboda Falls, viewpoints, and the historic Royal Post Office.

“Our tour was excellent from start to end. Our tour guide Sathis was punctual picking us up from the hotel and was very courteous and informative during the tour. Tea plantation tours (two of them) were really good. One produced tea manually and the other was a bit more automated separating the leaves. We also met the owner of the tour (Krishna) at one of the plantations who introduced himself. Nice chap 👍 Sathis stopped at many viewing points to take photos and we climbed up (approx 700 steps) to the Rambodde Waterfall. Great experience. All in all a great day 5* 😀”

Taste Kandy through markets, fruit, tea, sweets, and street food on a private three-hour tour with a local guide.

“We loved the amount of different tastes, like all kinds of fruits, sweets and snacks. It was a pity that we didn't go to the Boeddha statue and weren't given much of historical and cultural information, but it's been a good way to quickly explore Sri Lankan flavours at local sites and Umar is a kind guide who offers lots of tastings.”

Explore Colombo by tuk tuk, tasting king coconut, hoppers, samosas, pickles, koththu, and lamp rice while visiting Pettah landmarks.

“Ridiculously overpriced. I've been on food tours around the world and it's one of my favourite things to do. But this is hardly a food tour. We spent 80% of the time in a Tuktuk. There was not much to try or eat at all. Our driver looked like he was winging it the whole time. Made me feel like theres nothing to actually try in Sri Lanka. Would not recommend.”
