A fantastic street food tour - My travel buddy and I adored Buddhima. A consummate host and all round excellent ambassador for Kandy and its multiple cultures and traditions. A truly worthwhile tour and if I'm back I intend to enrol in one of her cooking classes too !

Kandy food tour with Umair. Tasty! - Our family of 4 saw the sights of central Kandy while touring thru the markets and food stalls, ending in a very authentic local restraunt. Delicious food, and no belly aches over the following days! We enjoyed getting to know our guide Umair and his passion for travel. Cheers, Nick, Prue, Millie and Finn.

Wonderful experience! - We had a wonderful experience with Buddhima on her food tour. Buddhima is from Kandy and that is demonstrated through her knowledge of the history of the area and even better through taking us to all the best food spots in Kandy! We have been on many food tours around the world and in Sri Lanka, and this has been one of our favourites. It is a really fun afternoon full of incredible food and Buddhima’s great company. Would highly recommend!

Fantastic tour with Buddhima! - We had a great time with Buddhima. She is a very nice, humorous and intelligent woman. We not only learned a lot about Sri Lankan cuisine, but also about the country and its culture. It was a highlight of our trip. Thank you very much, Buddhima!! 😊🙏🥰

Great night out in Kandy - We did an evening food tour we the lovely Buddhima. An enjoyable evening of traditional Sri Lankan foods, and good because we tried foods from Singghala and Tamil and Muslim traditions. We stopped by the fresh food market and had a tasting of the local fruits and a range of bananas! This was a meal in itself. Buddhima is an excellent guide for the night, but be warned, she will feed you till you burst. Highly recommended.

Exploring Sri Lankan food - We loved the amount of different tastes, like all kinds of fruits, sweets and snacks. It was a pity that we didn't go to the Boeddha statue and weren't given much of historical and cultural information, but it's been a good way to quickly explore Sri Lankan flavours at local sites and Umar is a kind guide who offers lots of tastings.
