"Our time with Buddhima was a highlight of our trip to Sri Lanka. She is a warm, generous, and incredibly knowledgeable host who made learning about Kandy’s history and culture feel like a conversation with an old friend. Beyond the fantastic food, including some incredible local spots we never would have found on our own, we had so much fun throughout the day. Buddhima’s passion for her country is infectious, and her perfect English made it easy to dive deep into local stories. Highly recommended for anyone wanting an authentic, joyful experience in Kandy!""

"We were a mother and two adult daughters who booked Buddhima for a food tasting, and it turned out to be one of the best things we did during our two-week holiday. Buddhima began by talking with us about our expectations, what we had already eaten and experienced, and then created a plan for the day based on that. We visited four different places and enjoyed amazing food, sweets, and fruits we would never have tried on our own. In addition, we got to see and experience more of the real Sri Lanka, and received explanations about culture, customs, and traditions we encountered along the way. As a person, Buddhima was calm, pleasant, knowledgeable, and always had a smile ready. She seemed to know almost everyone we met along the way, and it was clear that she is a person who is highly appreciated in the local community. Three hours went by far too quickly — we could easily have spent the whole day with Buddhima! If you are going to Kandy, book this immediately; it is our strongest recommendation. We send Buddhima a hug and hope to see her again."

"Buddhima is a very attentive host. She showed us a very nice foodcourt and took us to the market and the oldest bakery in town. Her english is perfect, so we did not have to refrase a lot , this made it a very comfortabel experience."

"Very knowledgeable, took time to show us around and super friendly. We tried things we never had before. Great tour! "

"Our street food tour with Buddhima was wonderful. Buddhima is so lovely, generous and knowledgeable, it was like spending the evening with a good friend. Buddhima introduced us to lots of different foods, answered all our many questions, and shared so much about life in Sri Lanka. She also gave us some great tips for the rest of our trip. If we return to Kandy we would definitely do the tour again - there is always more food to discover - and we would recommend Buddhima as a guide without hesitation."

"My mother and I were in Kandy for our first night in Sri Lanka so opted for a food tour with Chandana and had a lovely evening. Chandana is very knowledgeable, friendly and kind and his choice of food was perfect. We had the opportunity to try many local Sri Lankan dishes at a variety of restaurants and markets, learned a lot about Sri Lanka, the culture, people and history and enjoyed getting to know Chandana. By the end of the tour, we were full and happy!"

"Had an amazing time on this food tour in Kandy! Umair was the best—funny, witty, and super knowledgeable. He spoke perfect English and shared so many interesting insights that made the experience even better. The food stops were all fantastic, and I got to try some incredible local dishes. If you're in Kandy and love good food, definitely don’t miss this tour! Thanks for everything again. Klara 🤩"

"Fantastic evening with Buddhima, with a wonderful warm welcome to Kandy right from the start. She is so full of knowledge about Kandy and Sri Lanka and we had time for really in depth conversations too, which we loved. And then there was the food! So much and so delicious - the experience at the fruit stall was especially entertaining! We cannot recommend Buddhima highly enough (and this is from 2 off-duty guides on holiday who know what it takes and really respect what a high quality experience we received :) )"

"Buddimas lovely personality shines through and totally makes this a worthwhile trip. Great insight into the town and country and she is FUN too! "

"My friend and I booked the 10 Tastings of Kandy tour with Buddhima, and it was perfect from start to finish. Buddhima is absolutely lovely, joyful, and happily answered all of our questions about Kandy & Sri Lanka. The food we tried was amazing - and there was SO MUCH that we ended up taking some away for the next day as we just couldn't eat everything! Do not hesitate to book this tour, or any tour, with Buddhima!"
