• 5Enjoyable excursion

  I enjoyed my trip with Juli very much. He was a polite young man, a competent TukTuk driver and happy to change my visit to the waterfall for a tour around Lake Gregory. Furthermore, when I told him about problems I had with my adaptor he helped me to buy a new one. Much appreciated.

• 5Tea factory and waterfalls

  We went on a private tour together with my sister. Akram was friendly, communicative and on time. We talked a lot about the trip but also he shared a lot of info about Sri Lanka and Nuwara Eliya culture. The itinerary was well organised. We learned the process of manufacturing tea and in Damro factory there are a lot of tea options in reasonable price to buy. We also visited two waterfalls, for one of them there is a bit of hiking but it’s worth it. Also the transportation with the car is very comfortable for a road with a lot of turns. In conclusion, we were really happy and learned a lot from the tour!

• 5A morning well spent!

  Anwar was super nice, stopping in several view points along the way and answering all our questions. The treck to the first waterfall was lovely exercise and he found all the best spots to get the best views. My favourite was the visit to the tea plantation and factory, where we were walked through the production process of white, black and green tree from the leaves they pick themselves, using machinery that is more than 100 years old but work like a dream. All in all, a morning well spent!

• 5Spill the tea

  The trip was well organised. Guide and driver were very nice to us and showed us the most insane and beautiful views. The tea factory was also a great experience to try local tea and to see how it is made

• 5Great 1/2 Day Tour in Nuwara Eliya

  Fantastic day hosted by Fais around the tea factories of Nuwara Elyia. We had a great time learning about the area and seeing some of the sites before touring two tea factories. Both included tea tasting and an opportunity to buy some to take back home. I highly recommend trying the tea cake at Labookellie, if that is one of your stops! We also tried tea picking at Bluefield, which was fun. It was raining, but we did the hike to the top of lookout to see a falls. It was well worth it and the rain added to the power and beauty of the area. Overall a great day and would recommend this tour with Fais.

About Nuwara Eliya

Nuwara Eliya is Sri Lanka's best-known hill station, a cool town high in the tea country with colonial-style cottages, lakes and gardens.

Nuwara Eliya sits at about 1,900 metres in the central highlands, cool and often misty, with tea-covered slopes rolling out on every side. The British developed it as a retreat from the lowland heat in the nineteenth century, and its Tudor-style cottages, red post box, golf course and Victoria Park have earned it the nickname Little England. Gregory Lake, in the middle of town, is used for boating.
