A private car and driver is the classic way to do Sri Lanka, and these Kandy-based options are the ones I’d book. Hill roads are slow and the buses are slower; your own wheels roughly double what a day can hold. Most drivers turn out to be sharp informal guides too.
Discover Kandy in a fun and flexible way with a private tuk-tuk tour. Visit temples, gardens, and scenic viewpoints tailored to your interests.
