Experience food tours in
Kandy with Withlocals

"Fantastic evening with Buddhima, with a wonderful warm welcome to Kandy right from the start. She is so full of knowledge about Kandy and Sri Lanka and we had time for really in depth conversations too, which we loved. And then there was the food! So much and so delicious - the experience at the fruit stall was especially entertaining! We cannot recommend Buddhima highly enough (and this is from 2 off-duty guides on holiday who know what it takes and really respect what a high quality experience we received :) )"

"Buddimas lovely personality shines through and totally makes this a worthwhile trip. Great insight into the town and country and she is FUN too! "

"My friend and I booked the 10 Tastings of Kandy tour with Buddhima, and it was perfect from start to finish. Buddhima is absolutely lovely, joyful, and happily answered all of our questions about Kandy & Sri Lanka. The food we tried was amazing - and there was SO MUCH that we ended up taking some away for the next day as we just couldn't eat everything! Do not hesitate to book this tour, or any tour, with Buddhima!"

"Buddhima is a fun and enthusiastic guide who enjoys sharing her love for her country and the food it has to offer. The tour focused on 4 different food stops, and we tried multiple food items at each. Buddhima was able to cater the tour easily to my dietary requirements - I certainly didn’t leave hungry! She was happy to answer all the questions we had about her country, and was very easy to chat with. We felt like we’d made a friend in Sri Lanka! Also she has the most infectious wonderful laugh! She’s a fantastic guide, don’t hesitate to book. "

"What an absolute delight Buddhima is. she was so helpful and accommodating and could not do enough for us. We were Introduced to some of the best food in Kandy and ended up having such a fun night with nightcaps at a Local bar. She also gave us all the local secrets we needed to discover the city the next day. Wish she could come to Ella with us. "

"Buddhima was amazing. The tour was so much fun and we got to try so many foods we would not have thought to try and visit so many places that we would have just walked past. We learnt so much about Sri Lanka and Kandy and just had a great time overall. I would not hesitate to recommend this to anyone visiting Kandy."

"We loved our food tour with Buddhima! Buddhima was a wonderful guide, lovely to chat to her and experience Kandy with all her insight and knowledge. We went to places we would never have tried by ourselves. Highlights were the ladies street food market, the fruit and veg market and the prison! We were just sad we couldn’t manage to eat everything, start hungry! Thank you Buddhima, we loved meeting you!"

"We loved this tour. Buddhima is a very informed guide and it's certainly true that she loves to laugh! We did this tour towards the end of our Sri Lankan holiday as we felt that we had experienced too much 'tourist' food and not enough of the true local specialities. Our appetites were more than satisfied with visits to a food court run by a local collective, the fruit & vegetable market and various local restaurants/food stalls. I totally recommend this tour for anyone who likes food, authenticity and good humour."

"Buddhima goes out of her way providing superior customer service. She arranged for a vegan food tour for my family and coordinated for a birthday cake for my daughter. She also gave her flowers on her birthday. She is very thoughtful and knowledgeable about Sri Lankan’s cuisine. My family had a great time! Highly recommend her :-)"
