Day Tour to Polannaruwa from Kandy by Lux Tours Lanka
By Lux Tours Lanka
About
Kings ruled the central plains of Sri Lanka from Polonnaruwa 800 years ago, when it was a thriving commercial and religious centre. The glories of that age can be found in the archaeological treasures that still give a pretty good idea of how the city looked in its heyday. You'll find the archaeological park a delight to explore, with hundreds of ancient structures – tombs and temples, statues and stupas – in a compact core. The Quadrangle alone is worth the trip.

About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Christopher T0 contributionsThe best Sri Lankan experience with Lux Tours Lanka where you are truly part of a familyAs a father and daughter travelling around Sri Lanka, Lux tours lanka was a knowledgeable, insightful and caring experience. He went above and beyond to share and communicate his culture with us, we truly felt like part of his family. He toured us through some of the best parts of Kandy, giving us the local insight and experience, it was truly memorable. Would 100% use Lux tours Lanka again if we returned and would recommended to anyone seeking an affordable, authentic, comfortable and memorable experience.Written November 8, 2023
- Q3009CUmartab0 contributionsA great day in KandyHow lucky to meet Laxman Liyanage. It has been an incredible experience in Kandy. Many temples, tea factory, fruit tasting and typical Sri Lankan dancing. Thank you Laxman, you are unique.Written October 17, 2023
- Go583147032400 contributionsawesome driver and comfortable car, very helpful for my last minute planningFor a last minute custom tour arrangement, Lux Tours came through. I contacted the agency the day before with my plan to get a quote. Luxman came back with a price and put me at ease me that I didn’t have anything booked. Kesara, the driver, would help me with finding accommodations and the sites and safaris. They showed up at 9am at my hotel with the car, which was very clean and new. Kesara was a great driver For my four-day trip from Kandy to Wilpattu National Forest. I felt safe with him driving as he’s been doing this for 20 years. He reminded me a few times that I’m in charge of where and how long we go. I appreciated it. He was a great source of information as well. He asked the locals in Sigiriya when it opened , and i got there at 5:10am to see the sunrise on top: The internet stated that the opening time was 6:30am, which was aftee sunrise. He also arranged my safari at Kuadalla National Park to wjere I got to see lots of elephants in the wild up close. The elephants had moved north from Minneriya to Kuadalla. People who went to Minneriya (the more popular park) would not have seen many elephants. Kesara also drove me to see the accommodation options. For example at Wilpattu, I didn’t like the first two places. He was patient and said he’d drive to as many places until I found one I liked. In hindsight, I should’ve researched the accommodations in advance to save time and energy. He also arranged a knowledgeable guide for my Wilpattu safari. Overall for a last minute trip going solo, Kesara and Lux Tours came through wonderfully..Written October 12, 2023

- paulwC7550BQ0 contributionsCheck Current Pricellent and he arranged a good tour guide. However, after we booked and paid for the tour the tour operator contacted us to say the price had gone up, that we should seek a refund and then pay the new, higher price in cash! I refused to do this and instead paid the difference between the ‘old’ and the ‘new’ price which was $14USD.Written August 30, 2023
- jamaicababy09040 contributionsMet by luck but will always keep in our heartsWe met Mr Lakshman when we asked in our hotel for a tuk tuk driver to go to royal botanical garden. The driver asked if it was okay to show us a little more and we happily said yes. We went to the big buddha statue in Kandy where he taught us a lot of interesting facts. Then we went to botanical garden where he joined us on our walk through the garden. Fascinating how much he knew about the plants and the garden. He also managed to let us taste various fruits on our way and drove us to a great restaurant with a wonderful view on the city. As it was so nice we decided to drive with him the next day as well. Lakshman was on time and we went to the tooth temple. Again he impressed us with his knowledge about Buddhism and the temple. After the temple we went to the Elephant orphanage, then he again made sure that we are not hungry and stopped for some fruits on our way to the Tea Factory. After this trip we drove to the Kandy Spice Walk where we learned a lot about spices, herbs, Ayurveda and even got some yummy food and a wonderful massage. Our next stop was the carving family where we learned a lot about ebony, mahagoni and teak and how they make colorful masks and other wooden products. What a nice family! As always our driver made sure that we have happy full bellies that's why he drove us to a local restaurant where we ate delicious kotthu. I really want to emphasize that in these 2 days we learned so much about Kandy and Sri Lanka thanks to our driver! Mr Lakshman was always very friendly and made sure everyone was feeling fine. He is a safe driver, helpful, always smiling and a wonderful teacher. With my 7 year old son he was also very very nice and I am sure we will miss him because he treated us like family. Thank you so much!Written July 26, 2023

- C7078XHrobertl0 contributionsFantastic guide tour of KandyWe had a fantastic tuk tuk tour exploring the main sights of Kandy. There is nothing better than seeing a city from a local's perspective, and Laxman is the perfect guide for it. He is very professional, knowledgeable and friendly. We have learnt so much from him and can not recommend him highly enough if you are looking for a personal tour guide to show you around the area.Written May 25, 2023
- Katrinafordays0 contributionsGreat way to experience KandyVery knowledgeable tour guide, took us to a wide variety of activities from Kandy cultural show, eating fresh fruit, the royal garden, and temples. He offered more activities but when we weren’t interested in them he didn’t push and adapted the tour plan. We had a great day!Written March 26, 2023
- rossmF5818HX0 contributionsSigiriya rock and elephant tourWe only had a day and half in Kandy and done the full day tour - Sigirya rock and elephant safari. We stopped enroute and on the way home for some traditional Sri Lankan food. He also sorted us out with last minute tickets from Kandy to Ella which were sold out. 10/10 thanks for an amazing day Laxman!Written March 21, 2023
