Review of Nuwara Eliya’s private tuk-tuk tour, with tea picking, factory tastings, Ramboda Falls, viewpoints, and practical booking tips.
“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* 😀”

“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…”
