"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."
"We thoroughly enjoyed our tour of Kandy with Buddhima. She was an outstanding guide. From our initial communications and meeting arrangements to the actual tour, the organization was perfect. She kindly accommodated our requests and patiently answered all our questions. As we had combined two tours we go to spend the whole day with her, we learnt all about the culture and history of the city, saw hidden gems off the beaten track and tasted the most delicious food and explored the local markets. A day to remember! "
"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! "

The best tour & tour guide in Kandy!
"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!"
"Buddhima is a fun and enthusiastic guide who enjoys sharing her love for her country and the food it has to offer. The tour focused on 4 different food stops, and we tried multiple food items at each. Buddhima was able to cater the tour easily to my dietary requirements - I certainly didn’t leave hungry! She was happy to answer all the questions we had about her country, and was very easy to chat with. We felt like we’d made a friend in Sri Lanka! Also she has the most infectious wonderful laugh! She’s a fantastic guide, don’t hesitate to book. "
