    Terrible service & Unprofessionalism of this company ruined our entire day

    As we have seen this tour on tripadvisor, we reached out of them for some additional pick up information before making a reservation through tripadvisor. But the company recommended the we book directly with them, claiming the we would get the same tour at a discounted rate and with some additional inclusions that aren't included if we book through tripadvisor. Unfortunately it's our mistake that we decided to book directly with them as they recommended. They were very responsive in the start but only till we paid for the tour using a link they have provided us, afterwards we had to send them multiple messages to get a single response. That showed us how bad their customer support. The driver a poor little guy named "Dimuthu" arrived on time for the pickup with an old black hatchback car, which overhead three times during the entire trip. We had to wait until it cools down everytime to add coolant before starting the engine again. There were no professional guides at all. In kandyan tooth temple, the company haven't arrange our entires as they promised, driver didn't inform us about that matter untill we ask him tree times why are we waiting everywhere for no reason, and he was tryout to contact someone who never responded, we tried calling the company but no luck, after multiple attempts finally we decided to pay it on our own, thinking they would refund us later, but they never did. We asked the driver to skip the jewelry shop, spice shops, and any shopping activities because we didn't want to buy anything. However, he refused to do so, saying he could only drive according to the itinerary that he had received from the company, again we tried to contact the company many times, but they didn't pick up & replied to our emails. We had to waste our time at those places in the spicy shop we ended up buying something simply because we felt pressured. The people around us were watching and smiling, making it difficult to leave without purchasing anything. In reality, we don't even use the products we bought it wasn't a purchase. We had Hired a guide to avoid those places which are overpriced tourist traps, but the company travel sense was the one who wasted our vacation Finally we didn't have enough time to visit the flower garden near Kandy, which was a highlight for my family children were really wanted to go there but no luck. We had wasted around 2-3 hours on road because the vehicle overheated repeatedly when it driven uphill. No one cared or issued any compensation or refund. All we got was an email saying they would investigate and take necessary actions. It's been around a month now, are they don't even reply to our emails or WhatsApp messages. This terrible service made us rethink and shorten our vacation in Sri Lanka replacing another asian county for those days we removed. I have dealt with many travel companies worldwide, but travel sense was the worst one I have ever dealt with . Finally, I understood why they wanted me to book with them and avoid tripadvisor and viator. Learned our lesson a honestly we don't want our money back, but to stop happing the same for another viator.

    Response from the operator: We are sorry to see this review, but we cannot identify this customer or booking in our records. We also do not have any guide named “Dimuthu” working with our company. We take genuine customer feedback seriously and always aim to provide professional service. We kindly ask the reviewer to provide proof the booking details..

    Value for money and excellent service

    We had an amazing day exploring the beautiful hill capital of Sri Lanka – Kandy. The journey from Colombo was smooth and scenic. We visited the sacred Temple of the Tooth Relic, walked around the peaceful Kandy Lake, and enjoyed stunning views from Upper Lake Drive. The highlight was the Royal Botanical Gardens in Peradeniya – absolutely breathtaking! Our guide was informative and friendly, making the day easy and enjoyable. If you're in Colombo and have a day to spare, this tour is a perfect way to experience culture, history, and nature in one trip. Highly recommended

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your kind words! We’re so glad you enjoyed Kandy and had a great day with our guide. Hope to see you again for more adventures in Sri Lanka!”

    Kandy All Inclusive Day Tour from Colombo: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Colombo.

    How much does Kandy All Inclusive Day Tour from Colombo cost?

    +

    Prices start at $10 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Colombo usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Kandy All Inclusive Day Tour from Colombo take?

    +

    Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Colombo is not rushed.

    Is Kandy All Inclusive Day Tour from Colombo worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Colombo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Kandy All Inclusive Day Tour from Colombo?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Kandy All Inclusive Day Tour from Colombo suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Kandy All Inclusive Day Tour from Colombo?

    +

    Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Colombo can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Colombo and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Kandy All Inclusive Day Tour from Colombo start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Colombo within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Colombo?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Colombo experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Flexi dates on all 5 to 7 days packages for car and English speaking driver, Sri Lanka Personal Tour Driver in private vehicle, 08 Nights in Magical Sri Lanka. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Colombo?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Colombo?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
