Our driver caused an accident and we had to wait 1hr 30min for insurance and police. He also didn't drop us off at our hotel but somewhere in the middle of Kandy.

From the beginning to the end of my trip, our driver Wanusha Kalshika was very helpful and everything went very smoothly. When I have questions I write to the company and they answer quickly. I will definştly recommend this trip.

The Tea factory tour and the Carving workshop we enjoyed there most. Gayan was a great guide and we had a fantastic day out doing activities we never would have done on our own.
