Travel by private air-conditioned vehicle from Negombo with an English-speaking guide to Ambuluwawa Tower, Pinnawala, a tea factory, Kandy, and the Temple of the Tooth. You can add gardens, dance, and craft stops, but entrance fees are extra and the day is very long.

“We had an amazing trip. Our guide and driver were fabulous. They were very knowledgeable and told us loads of interesting information. The royal botanical gardens is an optional visit. We were going to miss this but our guide advised us to go and see it, and we were so glad that we did, it was amazing. I would highly recommend this trip”
