Excellent Tuk tuk tour

Ramesh was an excellent guide with great local knowledge, knew his history and explained everything well. Due to Ramesh's local contacts he was able to expedite our access to the Lotus Tower. Would highly recommend. The tour itself covered the major tourist attractions and gave a good insight to Sri Lanka’s history.

Day trips to Galle from colombo Visiting Its Highlights

David_A, Jun 2026

Wonderful Galle trip with Hetti and Pradeep!

Hetti was a wonderful informative guide. Our driver Pradeep was a safe and polite driver. We had a private tour and Hetti asked us where we wanted to go and in what order. We were able to spend as much or as little time at each location as we wanted. We really enjoyed visiting Galle with its Dutch fort and the surrounding area. The tsunami memorial is a must see as you can see the devastation caused by it and the resiliency of the Sri Lankan people to rebuild. The highlight of the tour was the Suranga boat Safari through the mangroves where we stopped and watched them make cinnamon from the cinnamon tree. We were able to hold a baby crocodile and also had a fish pedicure. We really enjoyed it. Our boat driver was friendly young man who drove the boat expertly. Hetti kept us on track and explained all the sites to us. I highly recommend this tour along with Hetti as the guide and Pradeep as the driver. Well done!

Colombo Amazing Day Tour!

This was a great way to explore the city of Colombo and Sri Lanka culture. My guide Shifan was amazing! He was very insightful regarding the history and culture of all of the spots we visited in the city. The mosques, temples, government buildings, beaches, and sights were excellent. Colombo really is a beautiful city with an amazing history!

From Colombo: Sigiriya and Dambulla Day Trip and Safari

Puja_S, Dec 2025

The day is really cool,...

The day is really cool, but also really, really long. We started at 545am with a 3 hour drive to the cave temples, which require walking up 249 steps. This isn’t bad, but some of the steps on the way down are just a rocky slope. There is a railing but an older lady in our group did have some difficulty. Then, we went on to climb the mountain. We were told it’s about 1250 steps, but this is inaccurate bc once you get up there you’re climbing up and down other stairs. To do this climb, they transferred us to a different guide who only let us stop twice, long enough to grab a photo of each person at the viewpoint. I am prone to heat exhaustion in humid weather like this and could feel myself starting to get affected so I took it upon myself to go much slower. The lunch afterwards was pretty good. Lastly, there’s the option of doing either a village tour or safari. Most of our group chose the safari. You’re transferred to a jeep and are basically off-roading for over two hours on unpaved dirt roads in a park. It was def cool to see elephants and buffalo, but the constant jolting gave me a headache. You’re able to stand up in the jeep to see through the roof, but they put 3 of us in the back and there wasn’t enough room for 3 ppl to comfortably stand. We arrived home at 10:45 — so an incredibly long day. Props to our main guide for driving. He was knowledgeable about the sights and areas, and also really funny. All in all, I’d recommend the tour but def be prepared.

Fantastic experience!

We had a great experience with Pradeep. He is very knowledgeable on the sights you visit, and is also a very competent driver. He also speaks good English. Don’t run the risk of getting a Tuk Tuk from the port as there are many scammers waiting to take advantage of tourists. A great company that offers a brilliant experience and they are safe and reliable.

Sigiriya, Polonnaruwa & Dambulla "Trilogy" Day Tour from Colombo

Kass_S, Oct 2025

Great day.

A very long day but the sites are amazing and well worth the trip! Our driver was attentive and helpful and we felt very safe despite the intense traffic. The air conditioned car was great comfort between each stop and the scenery was magnificent- we even saw wild elephants! Only thing we did not enjoy was the lunch stop, which were not offered a choice on and was a banquet style lunch. Overall, if you really want to see these three sites and have limited time, this is a great option.
