“Tour was a solid 3* Ricky arrived on time but the tour was over after 2.5hrs (not 3-4hrs as listed). The guide did not set the scene e.g. we will go here and try some North Sri Lankan food, then here, finally hear and it will take xx time, etc. We tried some lovely food, it was spicy, some a bit too spicy for me but all good. As per other reviews visiting the tea shop felt like a hard sell and the supermarket yogurt at the end is silly, there’s so many Sri Lankan desserts. We tried to ask about the history of the food but we couldn’t communicate…”

Aadhil, our guide made sure we saw everything we wanted. For the price of transportation you cannot beat the list of activities that are provided!
