A very good overview of the main sights with an attentive driver/guide Keethrie who was happy to wait for us wherever we wanted to linger a while. The Gangaramaya Temple was the highlight.

The tour bus was old, the tour guide did not talk or share any information about the places we have visited.
We (a family of five) visited Kandy for three night, and wanted a tour that can summarize Colombo's main attractions in a day. Our three tour guides did a great job driving us around the city.
One final commnet: to enter a Buddhist Temple listed in our tour, all women need to remove their headcovers, As a muslim family, that was not convenient, and we decided to skip that Buddhist Temple all together. The tour company had no clue about this fact!
