Free tours a Kandy

More or less decent experience. The tour took 1.5 hours instead of 3 (as it's indicated in the description). Ravi sent his student Nadith - a nice 18 y.o. guy who has good English, however he is not prepared to being a good guide yet. The official data on history was presented in a bit boring way. The general knowledge on Sri Lanka traditions, economics, social life is enough for a teenager but not very fulfilling for a person interested in expanding the overall knowledge on the country. The walk in the botanical garden is simply dull)) so it's probably goid that it didn't last for 3 hours.

Ravi introduced us to Nadith, a young smart boy who guided us through the temple and gardens. Since it was only my boyfriend and me doing the tour, we had the chance to have a lovely chat with him and learn more about live in Sri Lanka as a local. The earnings from the tour are used to support school projects and help boost the education of students like Nadith. We were very happy about the experience :)

Outstanding tour. We learnt so much!

A very nice way to find out about the city’s past . Do think about communicating with your guide however, about ticket prices and adequate shoes/ outfit or such details.

Great spending time with knowledgeable local!

Great tour and guy overall

Nice relaxing walk where we visited a lesser known (for tourists) Buddhist Temple and the Royal Botanical Garden. Ravi was extremely knowledgeable about the history of Buddhism and Sri Lanka. At the Garden, we met up with a local student who gave us a great perspective on how young people in Sri Lanka view things and some of the challenges they have. Excellent tour overall and would highly recommend.

Ravi is a super friendly person, very knowledgeable. We learned a lot about Sri Lanka in the one hour that we spent with him. Unfortunately, on the day of our tour, no student were available to guide us through the Botanical Garden, but Ravi instead took us on a car tour around the University Campus. He also offered to do a different tour with us in the city center, but we instead decided to walk the botanical garden on our own. All in all, we would recommend Ravi to anyone visiting Kandy!

Ravi is well informed and articulated . Most of the tour consisted of a walk in a forest park, which, after the heavy rain of the days before, was a muddy experience. So, wear good walking shoes.Beside the forest walk we spent about fifteen minutes seeing a nice open chapel in one of the numerous schools in Kandy. We have taken a lot of Guru Walks and this one was not what we expected. The name and description of the tour are misleading.
