Kandy is a large city in central Sri Lanka. It's set on a plateau surrounded by mountains, which are home to tea plantations and biodiverse rainforest.

About the operator
- 108ewelinad00Amazing person!The best guide in Sri Lanka! Very nice, calm, and helpful person. We spend a very nice time, like friends 🤍
- vidharshid00Best host everChandima was an incredible host - my fiance and I had an amazing time exploring Sigiriya and Maligawa with him! He is probably the best driver I have ever experienced coming to Sri Lanka (I have come many times throughout the past 20 years). He was very careful and safe and allowed us to have a smooth ride to of all our destinations despite the chaotic Sri Lankan traffic. He knew a lot about both locations we visited and knew the Kandy area very well. He was incredibly polite and thoughtful - bringing up bananas from his family's garden for us when we hiked up Sigiriya. He also brought us to his family's home and they gave us so much delicious, home made Sri Lankan food. He also had a great sense of humor and was wonderful to spend time with. I am glad to have made a new friend and will definitely be asking for him again!
- 761meip00You won't regret booking with Chandu!We originally booked Chandu to take us to Dambulla caves and sigriya rock. Along with that we visited a herb garden and went out to a local place for breakfast and lunch. Chandus car was clean, spacious and comfortable. We enjoyed our trip so much that we booked him again for the following day to take us to our next destination where he took us to a tea plantation, waterfalls and for lunch. We had the best 2 days in Sri Lanka with Chandu and we will remember our time with him well! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Chandu to other travellers. Great company, great price and great quality around. Chandu you're a joy to be around!
- kristina_brodovenko00Incredible rideWe wanted to visit Nuwara Eliya, while living in Kandy, but at the same time we wanted to go there by train, and go back by taxi. Chandi meet us in Nuwara Eliya, right on the train station (he went there alone from Kandy), shown us the best sites there, bought us some tea with cakes, and returned us to Kandy. Great service, awesome experience and incredible person. Next day he drove us from Kandy to Hikkaduwa. He is the best driver I saw in Sri Lanka. Considering tight traffic in Sri Lanka, with Chandi it feels safe.
- nazar_000000000000Perfect experienceThis was an awesome experience. We’ve booked the tour from Kandy to Sigiriya at 4pm and departed at 8:30. The driver bought us coconuts on the road (and they were way more better then we’ve got in the Kandy Market). Driving was calm and smooth. Before the Sigiriya we were gifted with a cold water, and only later we understood how important it was 😂 It was a pleasure and I wish everyone to try!
- DanielJakubsky002 days full of enjoymentsChandu is very experienced guide with lots of tips. We were in Sighiria, spice garden, tea plantages and Village tour, which we really enjoyed. He was also helpfull and empathic and went us to his familly and her mother provided us really good traditional food. Thank you so much and hope to see you again in the future!
- 315thanujaj00Friendly and trustworthyEnjoyed our holiday mainly because we didn't have to worry about safety or valuable items, and getting to places were made easy and comfortable by Chandhu.
- eeyore195900Private DriverWe met Chandu by chance after arranging pick up from train station by our hotel in Kandy. As soon as we met we felt safe and happy in his company. He told us all about the area on our journey to the hotel and was interested to know about us also. We arranged for him to take us to dambulla and sigiriya rock the next day with no trouble at all. He always checked with us that we were happy and was always keen to ensure that we did exactly what we wanted to. He also took us to a wood carving place and a spice garden which he knew we would find interesting. At the end of the day he took us to meet his family in his family home where we were treated to tea fruit and biscuits. We arranged for him to take us to our next hotel in negombo even stopping off on the way at a tea factory. If you are coming to Sri Lanka we would not hesitate to recommend him and his services. Thank you Chandu you made our holiday special
- NadiaK7400Fantastic driver and a memorable experience of Sri Lanka.Chandu was our driver for our journey from Kandy to Adam's Peak and also later for our journey from Kandy to Colombo. He made our time in Sri Lanka a memorable one as he was very friendly and he took great care of us and looked out for us. As we arrived ready to climb Adams Peak at 1.30am he told us to wait and ran to quickly buy us woolly hats and snacks from his own pocket as he said we would need them and that it would get cold when we neared the top which we were very grateful for. He was there promptly waiting for us when we got to the bottom in the early hours. We also used Chandu when we went to the Elephant sanctuary and for our trip back to Colombo and we could not have asked for a better driver. He was very knowledgeable and at no point did he make us feel unsafe, as he took great care of us whilst we were with him and pointing out places of interest and ensuring that we got to see everything that we wanted to see. I would definitely highly recommend using Chandu if you travel to Sri Lanka for his excellent service and very friendly nature.
- annamQ230CC00Great local guide for your trip in Sri Lanka!Chandhu is a great driver who took care of myself and my friend during our wonderful trip to Sri Lanka in January. First he met us at Colombo airport and then took us on a fantastic journey around Sri Lanka. He made sure we saw every single place worth seeing and told us stories about local people and culture. I would definitely recommend Chandhu to all of my friends who will decide to visit Sri Lanka in the future! Safe, fun and lovely!
- JannRRR00Unforgettable trip with Chandu - who went above and beyond!First of all Chandu is not just a driver or a tour guide, he became a friend from the moment he picked us up from Kandy railway train station to our hotel. He's very funny to be with and made us so comfortable and feel welcome that's why we didn't hesitate to get his number so we could contact him again. We spent a wonderful day with Chandu who took us to nice places/restaurants in Kandy. His rate is really good compared to other tour companies we'd inquired to. He's so knowledgeable as he was able to answer all of our questions. He has good driving skills as well. When I told Chandu I got scammed while I was staying in Colombo, he never hesitated to offer to help. He drove us from Kandy to Colombo and never left our side until issues were resolved with the police officers. He patiently waited for us despite the exhaustion, heavy rain etc. We felt like he's not after our money at all but just wanted to make sure we're safe and enjoying your stay. We really appreciate that he invited us over for lunch at his home and introduced to his parents who cooked us sooo delicious sri lankan foods! They're very genuine and nice people. I'd definitely contact Chandu again in the near future when I go back to Sri Lanka and I highly recommend him to anyone who's planning to visit Sri Lanka. Thank you heaps again Chandu
- GevatterSeb00Very good driver!Chandu is driving a very new and clean Hybrid Car. He was our driver for a couple of days. We went around Kandy area and to Sigiriya / Dambulla and back again. He is a really careful and friendly driver, we always felt safe. He offers Wifi in his car and bought cool water for us. He is flexible and respected our wishes. If you have got questions about Sri Lanka you can always ask him. We would really recommend him as a driver, he has got fair prices also!
- Jennychen1800Amazing trip kandy to sigiriyaChandu was a wonderful guide for the day. He was super knowledgeable and filled me in on the history of the sites we were to visit. Chandu was more than happy to stop for photos and included a well-timed stop for roadside corn and coconut. This is a great day trip from Kandy and I couldn't be happier to recommend mega Tours. Chandu是當天的絕佳嚮導。 他非常博學,使我了解了我們要訪問的站點的歷史。 Chandu非常高興停下來幫我拍照留念, 這是從康提出發的很棒的一日遊。
- AdityaChalla160200Great time in Kandy!!We have had an amazing trip with Chandu at Srilanka. He was extremely friendly and took us all around Kandy, Nuara Eliya and the best part of the trip is Pinnavale elephant sanctuary. He is also particularly good at clicking pictures for us. We had a great experience.
- CristeenaJ202000Thanks for a great tripDriver was wonderful! He drove me from Kandy to sigiriya, and afterwards set me up with any transportation I needed getting around the rest of my trip all over Sri Lanka! As a solo girl traveler, it was nice to have him making sure I was getting around safely!

If you are looking for a genuine experience of Sri Lankan landscape and culture, Chandhu is the right man for you!
He accompanied us for a whole week in Sri Lanka making our journey as most comfortable and enjoyable as possible.
He picked us up from the Colombo airport and took us to wonderful places, from the sea side to the centre of the island. Being from Kandy (one of the most beautiful city of the country), he was also able to give us a great tour of Sigirya and the surrounding area.
I would definitely recommend him to everyone who's looking for an adventure in Ceylon!

"excellent tour with chandu"
Me and my daughter made a tour with Chandu during 5 days exploring the south of Sri Lanka. Everything worked very well and he was very receptive for our wishes. He guided us throughout and showed good knowledge in everything from Buddhism, animal life, culture to the social, economic and political context of Sri Lanka. We made a great friend in Chandu during our tour and hope that we one day can return to also explore the northern part of this beautiful country.
