Absolute tourist trap. Keep your hands off it. We were here on our tour. The tour through the spice garden beforehand is ok, but nothing more. Afterwards you are offered a tea and a free massage where you should pay for what the massage was worth. But we have thankfully rejected them. Last but not least, you are led to a kind of shop, where you should buy all the spices and creams far too expensive. However, as soon as they realized we didn't want to buy anything, we were treated very dismissively and led out. Better buy the spices supermarket (keells) or something. Some of them cost 1/10.

I'll give the guide at the beginning the benefit of the doubt, it walked us round some of the trees, like cinnamon, nutmeg and pepper corns and explained what part is used as the spice. Which was nice, but then they hit you with all these products and keep assuring they are government certified. I bought the sandlewood face cream at 10x the price (roughly £9) once I opened it, it was literally worse than a 99p store product. Nothing health beneficial in this, pure chemicals. Not worth going, you will see the same trees growing naturally and the locals explain the same thing

We did a tour in Sri Lanka and our guide had arranged this as an extra stopover for us when we went to Kandy. The man was very friendly and gave a good explanation about everything, so that's why we wanted to buy something. We bought 2 mini pots of sandalwood cream which cost less than €40 (which is already quite pricey for what it is). They charged us €100, I now see on my mastercard, and therefore robbed us. They showed the correct amount on the calculator and then ask for your card to type it in. Receipt did not come out but we were able to check it on the banking app. This only happened later, so it was pure deception. Don't go here.
