Hiring guide at Kandy: costs USD 15-30 per site depending on English level and experience. Pros: deep historical context, hidden details, shortcuts, respectful navigation. Cons: guide-pace vs your-pace, may include commission stops.

Better alternative: audio guide (some sites provide, 500-1000 LKR), or download app like GuidesTV. For deep interest, hire specialized guide with archaeology background. Book online through operators or at site entrance.
