이 체험 소개

Board your private, air-conditioned vehicle in Kandy and spend nine hours uncovering Sri Lanka's artisan heritage. Your English-speaking chauffeur guide takes you first to a spice garden in Matale, where you walk among cinnamon, cardamom, and pepper vines and learn how each crop is harvested and processed. Back in Kandy, step inside a batik workshop to watch craftspeople apply wax and dye to fabric, then visit a woodcarving studio to see intricate designs take shape by hand.

Hotel pickup and drop-off in Kandy are included, as is your guide throughout. Food, drinks, and gratuities are not included, so bring spending money if anything in the workshops or gem shop catches your eye. Minimum age for this private tour is five years.
