Review Body: My partner and I were shown around Nuwara Eliya in February 2019. After picking us up at the train station Krishna told us about the trip that he could offer us the following day which we took up the offer of. At 4.30am the next morning Krishna arrived at our apartment ready to take us to the lovely Horton Plains. He then chauffeured us to two tea factories, giving us tips and the history of Sri Lanka along the way. After the tea factories we were taken to a number of waterfalls which were stunning with a stop at a local road side food stop to show of the local Sri Lankan cuisine. All in all we speak nearly 12 hours with Krishna which was highly pleasurable. Krishna was friendly and respectful for the whole day. A trip well enjoyed.

Review Body: We met Krisha and his father at the Nuwara Eliya train station. We used their taxi for a ride into town and they helped us find a nice hotel for the night. We decided to use their services for the next day as well and they were flexible and worked in with what we wanted to do. We decided to do a tea facory tour and go to a waterfall. We loved both of them and Krishna was very friendly and talkative and happy to stop whenever we wanted. We used them today to get back to the train station too. We would definitely recommend their services to anyone travelling through nuwara eliya. Anna

Review Body: These guys were great, they picked us up from the station, took us to our hotel and then helped us with organising what we needed done for the day we had in Nuwara Eliya. Given we had limited time we went to a strawberry factory which was super delicious, then the tea factory where we got to see how tea was made and some spectacular views, we also stopped and hiked a waterfall, it was super beautiful and fun. He is very informative and a pleasure to spend the afternoon with. We highly recommend!

Review Body: I was travelling with my mother and we asked Magical Tours for transport from Nuwara Eliya to Kandy, with sights along the way, at a days notice. Crishna responded with a good price very quickly and the next day arrived ten minutes before we asked to be picked up - perfect. On his advice we visited a plantation for tea tasting, a spice garden and a waterfall on our way to Kandy. Crishna drive safely and was friendly and knowledgeable. I couldn't recommend Magical Tours more highly.

Review Body: We met Krishna and his father at the train station and they offered us good transportation to our hotel. We enjoyed their company and so hired Krishna to take us to a tea plantation the next day and also back to the train the following day. He was friendly and chatty and we enjoyed his company. If we were around for longer then we would have used him to explore the area further. He was very knowledgeable.
