Historical Kandy city and Ambuluwawa view point
Overview of your Kandy tour
I’m Ruwan, a Certified Tour Guide in Sri Lanka with a deep connection to Kandy, having lived there for several years. On this tour, I’ll take you to both the must-see landmarks and hidden gems, offering a deeper understanding of our rich culture and history. I’m sure you’ll fall in love with Kandy just as I have! For a quick introduction, a one-day tour is ideal, but a two-day experience allows us to explore beyond the city. Together, we’ll visit the stunning Nelligala Temple and the iconic Ambuluwawa Tower, which offers breathtaking 360-degree views. You’ll also enjoy a delicious Kandyan lunch at a local restaurant and savor a cup of authentic Ceylon tea at a tea factory near Kandy, where the journey of Ceylon tea began. I’ll personally guide you through every site, sharing fascinating stories, historical insights, and the natural beauty of this incredible region. Let’s make your visit to Kandy unforgettable!
