Personalised day tour - We had a wonderful day thanks to Deshan. We asked to go walking, maybe a little bird watching, some nice quiet places out from Kandy town. He came up with an excellent day of interesting walks. We also got to see some out of the way temples that had stunning views, and saw birds and animals we weren't expecting. A lovely man and an excellent guide. Highly recommended.

Great tour of Kandy with bubbly Buddhima. - Buddhima provided my wife and I with a very good overview of Kandy. Our tour of the "Temple of the Tooth" (Sri Dalada Maligawa) was particularly excellent ensuring that we had ample time and information to truly appreciate this wonderful temple. Another highlight and indeed a hidden gem was a beautiful secret temple famous for its 5th century paintings we visited. Buddhima's bubbly personality and considerable knowledge made for an enjoyable day touring the wonderful city of Kandy. (Review for December 2019)

Great tour with a great guide;) - Prasanna is one of the finest guides I've travelled. He always had a smile on his face and was very flexible in the schedules. We stopped in between our journey for refreshments and Prasanna was fully supportive. A wonderful citizen of Sri Lanka.

Excellent tour of Kandy - My husband and I spent an enjoyable day with Buddhima travelling around Kandy for a day. Buddhima is knowledge, funny and a wonderful guide sharing local tips and more off the beaten track locations to go. Her English is flawless and we had a great day. I would highly recommend Buddhima to anyone coming to Kandy. Thanks again for a wonderful day!

Best way to see the city gems - We spend a day with our guide Buddhima, it was such a nice experience. We couldn't ask for more, she was brilliant! We got to know everything about culture, food and hidden spots. To everyone thinking about booking her - do it - she is such a sweetheart!!!

Visit to Sri Lanka with a day tour from WithLocals : Prasanna - Prasanna was nothing short of amazing. Not only was he set to take us on a tour - but he contacted me before to ensure I had a ride to my hotel from the airport. He then picked us up from the airport - and transported us to the hotel while telling us about his great city! The next day he took us a full all-day tour of Sri Lanka. He suggested great places to take us, took us to a spice market, elephant riding, to tombs, to temples, etc! My entire group had nothing but POSITIVE things to say about him! If you are booking a tour or a trip, please please please use Prasanna! He made our TRIP THAT MUCH BETTER! :) Ray from Chicago, IL - US
