Awesome 🤩🤩 - Our guide Buddhika was excellent. A great conversationalist. His intimate knowledge and pride in his culture is very apparent in every word he says. He has so much knowledge regarding the history of the places we visited with him and ensured we tried locally sourced and made goods. His knowledge regarding the Buddhist and Hindu religions was impressive and inspiring. He was so happy to let us know about all things Sri Lankan. He really puts a lot of thought and a lot of himself into his tours and it shows.

Excellent tour with Buddhika! - We had a lovely day trip to Sigiriya followed by a Sri Lankan traditional tour and lunch. Our guide picked us up from our hotel at Kandy right on time and drove us to Lions Rock. He was very knowledgeable about all of the history and details of Lions Rock and surrounding location. He's an experienced tour guide with knowledge of many other landmarks and tourist destinations (not just Kandy/Sigiriya) and studied it in university. He made all the details of where to go and what costs there would be clear ahead of time and was very professional. Afterwards, he joined us for the tour experience where we road in a traditional boat and bull cart, then ate (and helped a bit to prepare) a traditional meal with curries, sweets, and tea. It was one of the tastiest meals we've had in Sri Lanka! The next day he offered us to go white water rafting and canyoning, and we decided to go. It was a lovely time and again he informed us of the costs and schedule ahead of time. Buddhika was very punctual and professional, and answered all of our questions along the way. Would definitely recommend a tour with Buddhika!

eventful trip - We did a private tour from Kandy to Nuwara Eliya, to avoid a 4h train ride. A friend of mine highly recommended Buddhika, and now we totally agree! He is a safe driver and told us a lot of interesting things about the island. He managed do pick us up and drop off everywhere we wanted. So we visited for example the royal botanical garden, the ambuluwawa tower and a tea factory. He also offered us a stop at a local restaurant for lunch and it was delicious! After a long but exciting day he drove us to our next accommodation in Nanu Oya. Thanks for the great day!

Great Tour to Sigiriya & Dambulla - We had a great day with Buddhika! He was flexible to our wishes. We visited Sigirya, did the village tour with a very tasty lunch and visited Dambulla Temple, where Buddhika gave us a tour. He also drove along a road where we could see elephants. Buddhika told us lots of interesting things about the culture, country and people. A great tour and definitely recommended!

Very professional tour for a reasonable price.. - Great service. We went to Sigiriya from Kandy for one day tour and it was great, we had few additional stops in-between. Driver was waiting us all the time and was very kind and professional. I definitely recommend his service.

Beautiful day - The day was impeccably organised. Buddhika is a skilled driver and excellent guide; she did not hesitate to change the route to meet my needs and accompanied me on all visits, including the ascent to Pidurangala Rock, being alone. Even though the tour can be a little tiring, the day passed in an instant thanks to Buddhika's competence and friendliness. I hope to be able to return soon with my family, and I will turn to him again. Thanks again! I recommend everyone to book a day with Buddhika!

Brilliant tour guide - Buddhika is the nicest, passionate and well prepared tour guides I’ve met on my travels. Also, he is a very good and responsible driver which in Sri Lanka is not to be taken for granted.

An amazing day with Buddhika! - Yesterday we booked a tour with Buddhika and is has been one of our most authentic tours taken after traveling to multiple Asian countries. As it’s a private tour, he gives you many options to tailor it based of your own preferences. Our highlight of the day after visiting the Sigiriya was visiting a traditional Sri Lankan village, which just opened to tourists at the end of January 2024. It was also the tour guide’s first time visiting this town and I have to say I am incredibly happy about the experience. In contrast to some of the other “traditional” villages in the area, this one shows everyday life. We were invited in the house where the mom had prepared an afternoon tea, followed by a swim in beautiful lake, walk around the rice fields and later on a full Sri Lankan meal. Thankful for the Sri Lankan family who welcomed us into their home. An experience that we will never forget. Thanks Buddhika for arranging this!

LANKA CEYLON TOURS...THE BEST IN THE WORD!!!! - SUPER!!!! Buddhika is a driver and a very expert guide, but first of all he is a kind, polite, discreet and very nice man... A very good person!!! Always ready to make your days with him in Sri Lanka unforgettable!!! We designed the tour together with him according to our needs... Safari, sigiriya, Pidurangala and a beautiful and incredibly delicious culinary experience in the village!!! It was all very simple, from Italy via WhatsApp we agreed and organized the tour and the price (super honest) then once in Sri Lanka he came to pick us up at the airport and based on the weather to our liking and his great experience we modified and perfected it! And if all this isn't enough to convince you, I'll add that he speaks excellent English and drives a beautiful car with air conditioning...! Thanks for the wonderful days together... See you soon my friend!

Great Day Trip from Kandy! - We booked a last minute tour to Sigiriya with Buddhika. I was under the impression that Buddhika would have been our tour guide (and was hoping so because of all the glowing reviews). We also booked due to the very reasonable price. We did not get Buddhika but another driver (Poltee - spelling?). Our driver was very kind, professional, welcoming and patient, catering to what we wanted to do for the day. There was a language barrier though which prevented us from learning much about Sri Lanka and the places we were visiting. This is not meant to be a knock on our driver as he was excellent, just didn’t have the experience we believe we could have considering the amazing reviews of Buddhika as not only a driver but a guide as well. We opted to go to the spice garden, climb Sigiriya, do the village tour and visit the Dambulla cave temple before returning to Kandy. When you go to Sigiriya, there will be freelance guides (have certification) that offer to be your guide for the climb. If you opt for this, negotiate a price beforehand. When we asked our guide how much, he replied “as much as you want” and we left it at that. Our guide was very good and we learned a lot. At the end of the climb we gave him 5,000 LKR, which we believed was reasonable (hopefully this was reasonable and we’re not completely off base here). He said “other people give more” and then acted like he was angry for the walk back to the car. Bottom line, just lock in a price beforehand to avoid these awkward situations. The spice garden was a good experience with no obligation to buy anything. The village tour isn’t really a tour, you take an old village buggy towed by a cow, then a nice ride around a lake on a boat. The highlight was a private lunch which we were able to help prepare and learned a ton about traditional Sri Lankan dishes. The tour ends with a tuk tuk ride back to the start. $20USD per person, which we thought was worth it due to the lunch portion. The Dambulla cave temples were also very interesting. Hope this helps!
