Perfect day in Kandy
The botanic gardens were absolutely stunning, and the tea factory tour was so informative. Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly. Highly recommend this tour!
Great cultural experience
Loved the tea tasting session and the beautiful gardens. The only suggestion would be to include lunch in the package. Otherwise, excellent value for money.
