Our food tour with Buddhima was absolutely amazing. We ate our way through Kandy and the Sri Lankan food culture, explored the market and learned a lot about the various traditional foods, spices and fruits. Buddhima was a wonderful host, always happy to answer our questions and ready to make changes to our tour. It felt like spending the day with a new friend and we can highly recommend booking an experience with Buddhima!
