2.Kandy to Ambuluwawa & Kandy City Guided Tuk Tuk Day Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 270 reviews · 8 hours - 1 day · from $12

Spend a full day exploring Kandy and Ambuluwawa by tuk tuk or car with an English-speaking guide such as Chintha, Dhanu, Akila, or Malik.

“For us the best guide, everything was great, there was no problem with anything. Neither changing the program according to us, nor stopping when we were hungry, or when we wanted coffee. We got EVERYWHERE with a tuk-tuk! We learned a lot of different information about Sri Lanka. If you are hesitating or thinking, you don't have to, just go for it.”
