Not to be missed - I highly recommend taking this full day city tour if you can have Sajith as your guide. As a local his knowledge was excellent. He is very personable, considerate and patient. His friend joined us for the tour of the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic, as he is an expert in the field. Not to be missed.

Great tour of Kandy with Sajith! - Very positive experience, definitely recommended! Our driver, Sajith, was very professional and kind. He also shared a lot of interesting information with us while visiting the sites and during the transfers. He was also very helpful and thoughtful when we forgot a bag at one of the sites we visited. My only advice for those interested in this tour is to take some time to consult the list of attractions in advance, so that you can then communicate your preferences to the driver on the day of the tour. Visiting all the attractions in one day can be very challenging, so it's best to have some priorities. In particular, we have selected the Temple of the Tooth, Buddhist museum, Buddha temple/statue, tea factory and folklore show. All very interesting!

Great Kandy sightseeing experience with Sajith (Aruna Tours)! - Very positive tour experience, definitely recommended! Our driver, Sajith, was very professional and kind. He also shared interesting facts with us while visiting the sites and during transfers. He was also very helpful and caring when we forgot a bag at one of the sites we visited. Communication via WhatsApp with the tour operator, Aruna Tours, was also clear and timely. My only advice for people interested in this tour would be spending a bit of time for going through the list of sights in advance, so that you can then tell your preferences to the driver on the day of the tour. Visiting all the sights is one day can be very challenging, so prioritizing a bit can really help in getting the most out of the tour. Very well done Sajith and Aruna tours!

Excellent guide, super flexible - Aruna was an excellent guide during our time in Kandy, taking us to both the main sights in the city, as well as lesser known, "hidden treasures" that we never would have seen had we done this ourselves. Aruna was very flexible and accommodating with our plans, and I would highly recommend to anyone.

Kandy city tour - Highly recommended this tour we went to a couple of temples that most foreigners don’t get to go to, the Gardens are lovely, spice tour, kandan dancers & viewing area that overlooks Kandy. Our tour guide Sajith was great asking us what we wanted to do and see and also making suggestions.

Friendly, respectful and super customer focused tailored day trip experience - Had a very good day trip today and can only recommend Aruna. Couldn’t have been better and he was able to tailor the tour to my interests as I wanted to see more cultural sights. And I got to see a lot within a day: herbal garden, botanical garden, kandy viewpoint, tooth temple and we also went outside of kandy to visit Embekke Devale, Lankatilaka Vihara and Gadaladeniya Vihara. I really appreciated his flexibility and he is a very nice guy who puts customer service first.

Do yourself a favour... Book with this guide!! - What an amazing, educational and memorabl tour. Mr Arunas knowledge, hospitality and overal attitude is one of the best I have ever had on any tour in the world. Whether it was from the contact before the tour, the hopsitlsity where nothing is a problem or the knowledge of questions about anything and everything, nothing wsd too much. I will without a doubt be keeping on contact for my next visit to Sri Lanka and using him as my tour guide. A day ticked off my bucket list thanks to Mr Aruna
