★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 144 reviews · 1 day · from $54Our pick

Full-day Kandy tour from Colombo or Negombo with Tooth Relic Temple, elephant bathing, Bahirawa Buddha, and tea tasting, optional factories.

“Excellent day in a private car with an excellent host Dilip - he really helped make the day very special with his knowledge of the area and helping to tailor the day to support our wants. A few comments for people considering booking this trip: the elephant event that attracted us is only a small part of what you see, be aware there is a lot of travelling albeit in a comfortable car - Kandy from Colombo is a good few hour drive although it is broken up with a few interesting stops that help support knowledge of the area and demonstrate the skills of locals.”
