Fantastic food tour with Buddhima!
The market and fruit were a particular highlight. She knows where all the best places are for specific dishes and has great knowledge to answer all your questions on Food, Kandy and beyond.

Buddhima was a wonderful guide — we did a food tour with her in Kandy and it was such a great experience. She was incredibly kind and showed us so many local foods, and we got to try a lot of different things. We visited a fruit stall where we could taste anything we wanted, and we also went to the Women’s Market, which was really special.
We also got to try special local dishes like dolphin kottu (a parotta fry) — so unique and absolutely delicious!
Everything we ate was delicious and the selection was amazing — a must-do if you’re in Kandy. This tour is still one of my highlights from Sri Lanka, and honestly some of the best food I had on the whole trip. I’m very grateful to Buddhima for introducing me to traditional dishes I would never have discovered on my own. Highly recommended!

Buddhima is an amazing guide. We got to taste so many amazing foods and ate at multiple different places. All which were fantastic! I can't recommend this tour enough. She is a wealth of information and a kind and caring person.

Buddhima is super kindy and funny. We had great laughs during her food tour. We have done a lot in Kandy but we will remember her tour the most. What a great experience that we recommend to everyone! Thank you! Buddha bless you. 🪷

A long overdue review - but I still need to write this to share my adventure in Sri Lanka back in July with Buddhima...
My family trip, a 10-day circular route from Colombo, through the mountains, Kandy, the train to Ella, then down to the ocean of Galle before back to Colombo, was definitely one fo the best trips in my life. I am a vivid traveller so honest speaking I seldom hire a guide (I travelled 55 countries across Europe, Americas, Asia-Pac and couple places in Africa), but this time I think I made a right choice with Buddhima.
Her experience and hospitality made my journey enjoyable and informative. WIth a 12yo with me, besides the tourist encounters we also went to a rural village to let my boy to see something different from his daily life - thanks to Buddhina's connections and enthuaism, we saw this beautiful country in different ways - not just being tourists, but also adventurers.
Sri Lanka - a place in my "go again" list, and definitely I will have Buddhima to show me again!

Must do! Her foodtour was one of the highlights of my trip in Sri Lanka. Buddhima is very friendly and takes you to places you normally wouldn’t visit as a tourist

Great tour covering all the street food in town. Buddhima was a very friendly tour guide who took a lot of care to meet our dietary needs (vegetarian) and to generally be flexible to the groups interest.

Absolute highlight of my trip to Sri Lanka! My mum and I spent the day with Buddhima exploring a local street food market, a food market in the centre of Kandy and cooking with her and her mum in her home. It was an absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish. Buddhima is so knowledgeable and made sure we tried all the local foods. She knew all the best places to go and the food we cooked with her was delicious. Her family welcomed us so warmly into their home. Buddhima is so friendly and caring, even making sure we had a little snack for the tuk tuk ride from the market to her home. I'm only sorry I didn't meet her sooner or I would have done a whole tour of sri lanka with her. Can't recommend her highly enough.

The Food Tour with Buddhima was excellent! We learned so much about the Food, the culture and the people. The food was absolutely delicious and we tried so many different things - Snacks, fruits, main dishes, Desserts, Drinks ... Buddhima is a lovely and uncomplicated company and loves talking and sharing her knowledge. Highlight for us was the market and the fruit Tasting.

Buddhima took us on an amazing food tour around Kandy! We got to try so many tasty dishes (we were all very full by the end!). Buddhima was a great tour guide and made sure to personalise the tour to our interests. She was super friendly and knowledgeable - we learnt a lot, not just about Sri Lankan cuisine but also history and culture. Highly recommend!

We spent the most brilliant day with Buddhima. Her English was excellent and her knowledge second to none, but most importantly it was a warm and fun experience. Not only did we learn all about Sri Lankan history, religion and culture we also got an amazing insight into day to day Sri Lankans. We combined the highlights of Kandy with a food tour and it was definitely the best day of our trip so far and will be very difficult to beat. Don’t miss a tour with Buddhima.

We were able to get to know Sri Lanka off the beaten tourist track, far away from mass tourism and inflexible schedules/programs, thanks to the wonderful Buddhima.
It all started with the planning, Buddhima found out what our interests were at the beginning and then put together an unforgettable trip for us.
Our round trip took us from Colombo to the highlands and finally to the sea. We saw tea plantations, temples, went on a safari and enjoyed the endless sandy beaches
During the whole time she was eager to show us the beauties of Sri Lanka.
We particularly liked the fact that Buddhima has a great knowledge of the history and traditions of her country. Coupled with her excellent knowledge of English, her numerous trainings and her friendly nature, we were able to experience an unforgettable trip.

f00dl0vingtraveller2026-02-16Verified A great experience Buddhima was a brilliant engaging guide. She really tailored our outing to our interests - even taking us to a hardware store to buy hopper pans. A wonderful 4 hours with a wonderful person. ch-weltbummlerin2025-11-11Verified Wonderful time! Buddhima was recommended to us by a couple of friends who had already done the street food tour. Nevertheless, we didn't know what to expect. Some locals, when they heard our plans, claimed that there was no street food tradition in Sri Lanka, while others were enthusiastic about our intention to do the tour. At first we got an insight into Sri Lankan street food and were able to try lots of different things and explore many different flavours. The place was packed with locals eating their lunch. Many small cooking stations where women prepared food and you could place an order for one thing or another. What a pleasure, because the dishes and snacks were well explained in terms of ingredients, and you immediately took some of them to your heart while deciding to give others a miss. That was just the beginning of our tour, and, refreshed, we set out to explore the attractions of this city. How enriching it was to see this city through the eyes of a local, who has so much humour and their heart in the right place. The next day, the tour continued for us, and I must say that booking the tour was the best decision. Thank you very much, Buddhima for the wonderful time and the tour in Kandy. swiss32025-11-11Verified To get to know Sri Lanka in depth, this is the best and most exciting way to do so! Even though we had a driver/guide, “Walk with Sri Lankan” showed us a whole new perspective. We booked tours for two days and were so positively surprised! It was so much fun exploring the city with Buddhima. She has such a great personality, her English is absolutely perfect, and the days were exciting and entertaining. We learned so much about Sri Lanka and its culture, people, and food. Buddhima tailored everything to our wishes and completely changed her normal program to suit us. She is super flexible! We had a wonderful time with her and already miss her and her humor! JChisley2025-02-05Verified Highlight of our Sri Lanka Holiday My grown up daughter and I were keen to sample local food with a knowledgeable Sri Lankan and we were so lucky to find Buddhima! She is a wonderful warm and friendly lady . She came to collect us from our hotel in a tuktuk and took us first to sample some local street food in a market run by local women . The array of food was amazing .We then went on to the large food market where we sampled lots of tasty fruits and veg and spices . Buddhima knows all the local traders and it was a joy touring the market with her . We then travelled by tuktuk ( a safe one !) to her home in the Kandy suburbs where we cooked so many wonderful dishes with Buddhima and her mum . My daughter is a chef at home and she was so delighted to learn so much about local dishes . We sat down as part of the family to dine and it was a truly wonderful experience , never to be forgotten . We would 100% recommend Buddhima for an amazing day and a unique Sri Lankan experience Rob d2025-01-19Verified Meeting multiple local dishes on a fun tour with Buddhima We did the food tour with Buddhima and loved it. Buddhima is even knowledgeable and with her sense of humor she makes this aan experience you’ll won’t forget. We tried multiple local dishes and fun of it all is that we have had many of them later in our journey again. If we would not have went on a tour with Buddhima, we’ve probably didn’t eat them. The tour is pretty expensive but definitely worth the money! Nicola2024-12-06Verified The best tour guide in Sri Lanka! What a lovely guide! Buddhima is just amazing. Extremely friendly, very knowledgable and caring. We spent 3 days with her and she was able to share her knowledge and passion about Sri Lanka. We did the walking and food tours of Kandy combined, we then did the Sigiriya tour and finally the Nuwara Eliya day tour which included a visit to a tea factory. She shared so much about the culture, food and history of the country and made our experience so unique. She has been very caring and has been checking on us throughout our trip to Sri Lanka. Our tours were tailored to our needs and we felt so comfortable and safe traveling around the country with Buddhima. I cannot recommend her enough! If you are visiting Kandy, Buddhima is your go to person! welshbarry2024-04-03Verified Kandy street food tour. We thoroughly loved Buddhima’s food tour. We started in the fruit market, learning and trying all the different local fruits. After a tour of the markets we enjoyed some delicious street food and learned so much about Sri Lanka, Kandy, local culture and of course the food. Buddhima is an absolutely delightful host. Would absolutely recommend and would 100% do it again. Thanks Buddhima. Anna M2024-03-28Verified awesome tasting and great personality We were with our two kids and had a great tasting, Buddhima just took care for anything and paid attention to everyones needs. Sometimes only icecream can solve problems. We enjoyed the food a lot, and even walking around, explaining culture and resolving problems. A great, open-hearted women. Thanks so much! maren f2024-03-28Verified Would highly recommend! We had an amazing afternoon with Buddhima! We walked around the city and she showed us so many nice places and different kind of sri lankan dishes. We ate so much good food and had a really great time!! Aimee J2024-03-26Verified The best use of a short stay in Kandy! We had a FAB day with Buddhima. We spent the day having a tour of all the best food in Kandy, and it really didn't disappoint! She's a wealth of knowledge and as we walked between food stops she made sure we stopped where necessary so she could give us a brief history lesson too. The food was delicious too - she gave us the opportunity to try so many Sri Lankan delicacies, including recipes to make them at home too!Load more
