Enchanting Kandy Day Tour: Culture & Scenery from Colombo

The tour around Kandy and each stop was simply unforgettable. What made it even more special was our guide and driver, Rangan, he did a stellar job showing us around and going above and beyond. Truly a memorable tour.

We had a beautiful time. The driver of our van was so very kind, professional and spoke English well. We loved tge itinerary too. However, the driver from Kangaroo Cabs who was contracted to pick us up from where we were staying was thoroughly confused, decided we were not the people he needed to pick up and left, much to our dismay. We had to call the Apple Vacations phone several times before they told us they would ask the cab driver to come back to pick us up. He was also confused as to where we were to ge dropped off to get to the van. I had to make another call and give my phone to the driver so he could speak in Sinhalese to the person on the other end so he could take us to the right place. Then, he asked us to pay him. The van driver had to step in to say he would be paid by Apple Vacations. The rest of the tour was perfect. Please thank our van driver too, he was terrific!

While being in Sri Lanka, we really wanted to see Kandy and to have a round tour with which apple vacations were of great help! Tour guide was Chathuran and he provided so many details during tour about local culture, main sightseeings, music taste and so many more! We've had a really productive day and went to Herbal garden (had great massaj with ajurvedic healing oils, had best tea with spices), Elephant orphanage and learned so many interesting things about elephants, went to tea factory and learned more about white/golden tea (for me best part), went to temple of tooth, and got rest from tiring but very interesting day in Royal Garden. Make sure to bring some cash :)

Amazing my driver was Krish lovely man he picked me up on time and we set off for Kandy taking me around a very informative. We went to the elephant reserve, tea , factory , botanical gardens, wood carvings work shop , gems and diamond lab ( got to see them actually make some beautiful pieces) . Textiles making , I was fasting as well so he made accommodation for me to break and a Local s&p for me to freshen up and grab some food very thoughtful and kind so thanks soo much

It’s a 2 1/2 hour drive from Colombo which contributes to a very long day. Breakfast stop good value and good choices. Lunch in the botanical gardens few desirable choices and over priced. Elephant museum option very overpriced. Tooth relic temple and tour impressive

Our guide recommended to change the tour to Galle, because of time restrictions returning to our cruise ship. We are so glad we did. We enjoyed the turtle conservation center and really loved the Magu River trip. Our guide, Ranga, was so thoughtful and kind, adding extra stops to sample fresh coconut water on a beautiful beach and treating us to ice cream on another. I highly recommend this trip!

A very interesting tour, learned and experienced quite a bit. The best part was our Driver/guide Chathu. Polite, warm and friendly, so very helpful and considerate to our every need. He made all the difference !

Fantastic trip, temples, good food. Although day long but worth it. Do carry a cloth covering your knees if you plan to visit temples.
