Kandy is where history and tradition are combined to create a culture. Capital of the last Sinhalese kingdom, which fell to the British in 1815 after defying the Portuguese and Dutch for three centuries. It took the British another 16 tough years to finally build a road linking Kandy with Colombo. Do insist on spending at least a Day in the misty hill city that looks good even when it’s raining. Some days Kandy’s skies seem perpetually bruised, with stubborn mist clinging to the hills surrounding the city’s beautiful center piece lake. This Kandy sightseeing tour visits multiple highlights of the UNESCO-listed city with our professional Chauffeur/guide

Pleasant car journeys from sight to sight. The time and place were individually arranged well in advance. My driver Dilshan gave me enough time for the stops at the places so that I could see everything at my leisure. I highly recommend Mahaweli Tours. Many thanks and all the best

I really enjoyed this tour. It was amazing experiencing the city with a guide. We stoped at all interesting locations. My guide Nuwan was very kind and attentive. As I went alone on this tour, he tried to make me comfortable the whole time, took pictures of me so that I would have memories, kindly answered all my questions. The agency was very professional, they sent me all the information the night before. In the morning, Nuwan was punctual, he picked me up in front of the hotel at the agreed time. We visited all the listed locations and then he dropped me at my hotel. I honestly recommend this tour and this agency!

The car was very good. Clean and tidy and very spacious.
Dushan the driver is one of the best person we have met in Srilanka. He showed us places, helped us buy artwork for our house, negotiated with the shopkeepers on our behalf. He made us both very comfortable. He is also a very safe driver. We would recommend him with eyes closed.
