Our Happy Clients
Every journey tells a story. See how our travelers experienced the beauty, culture, and warmth of Sri Lanka through their eyes.
Just finished our tour with Tony and we’re beyond pleased with our tour. Tony went above and beyond what was expected of him and he took us on a tour of not just the elephant sanctuary but all over Kandy and we were very impressed by his enthusiasm and determination for us to see everything in the town, could not recommend enough.
We have chosen guide Tony. He was amazing, very nice and intelligent. Tony has massive knowledge and we have learned a lot from him. He constantly was taking photos for us which was fantastic. He let us try red bananas and coconut drink on the way. We really thank him and we 100% recommend choosing him for your trip. Next time we come to Sri Lanka we will definitely choose Tony again.
Our tour with Tony was fantastic! From start to finish, everything was well-organized, and Tony’s warm personality immediately won us over. He speaks excellent English and shared incredible insights into Sri Lankan history and culture. One highlight was our stop in Pinnawala, where we had the chance to feed our bathe elephants – an unforgettable experience. Tony also took us to places like the Ceylon Tea Factory, Big Buddha, and the Gems Museum, always giving us plenty of time to explore. On the way back, we got hungry, and Tony kindly took us to a restaurant of our choice, waited for us, and drove us back to the hotel – such great service! He even took perfect photos of us throughout the day, leaving us with amazing memories. We were so impressed that we booked another tour with him the next day. If you want the best experience in Kandy. Tony is the guide to go with!
