“Our tour was excellent from start to end. Our tour guide Sathis was punctual picking us up from the hotel and was very courteous and informative during the tour. Tea plantation tours (two of them) were really good. One produced tea manually and the other was a bit more automated separating the leaves. We also met the owner of the tour (Krishna) at one of the plantations who introduced himself. Nice chap 👍 Sathis stopped at many viewing points to take photos and we climbed up (approx 700 steps) to the Rambodde Waterfall. Great experience. All in all a great day 5* 😀”

“Geweldige dag gehad! Onze gids was Michael die ons van alles vertelde over de omgeving en de plekken waar we kwamen, en over Sri Lanka in het algemeen.

Wat is het daar mooi! In Nuwara Eliya bezochten we de postoffice, deden een toertje rond het meer en gingen we lunchen en nog een beetje rondlopen.
