Good day.
Was a good experience. Our tour guide Irfan was very passionate and knowledgeable about the area and engaged in plenty of fun conversations. I would recommend this experience.

A must do in Sr Lanka
It was a long trip but so well worth the time and money. Sigiriya is spectacular! Also the rest of the attractions were well worth visiting.

The best day!
Irfan was such a great guy and fantastic tour guide. He really knew so much history about Sri Lanka. Ifran was also on time to pick us up and drop us off and also made sure we always had enough water & offered to stop whenever we needed to.
Sigiriya rock was amazing and absolutely beautiful, along with Dambula cave temples.
I highly recommend this tour and Ifran as your guide!

Tiring but a good trip with a good driver
It was a long and tiring day trip but its well worth it. Traditiinal village lunch was surprisingly tasty. Driver Amila was good and spoke English well. Highly recommended.

Our driver Kavishan was really nice. Very friendly and let us stop to get food upon request. Didn’t feel rushed at any of the stops. Told us very thoroughly what the itinerary was and where he would be waiting for us when we are done with each activity. Nice clean car, good knowledge and conversation. Had a really good time

Great driver Lal
We had a very pleasant and nice driver Lal. He was very kind, took us to places agreed on the itinerary and offered useful guidance. Many tours have very pushy drivers who want to take you to tourist traps, but Lal was not like that which we highly appreciated. I really recommend this experience as it was reliable and full of once in a lifetime sights.

Dambulla is fascinating
Very friendly driver who can take you around for the day. The sights themselves are beautiful.
It would have been helpful to have more description or information about Dambulla caves on the tour. I had to research the basics on Google at the ticket office as there aren't leaflets and that part of the tour isn't guided. You have to walk up on your own.

Great tour guide… great day out
Great day out… knowledgeable and friendly driver who showed us a range of lovely sites on route including a natural herb farm. Lovely day

More than satisfied
The tour checks all the boxes for a satisfactory experience. On time, knowledgable and friendly . He was kind enough to go extra mile adding more destinations than described, advices to not get scammed or injured, patient enough to wait if extended the duration at a location. Overall, you can choose this tour and you will not be disappointed.

Extremely neat tour. The...
Extremely neat tour. The tour operator (Lanka Safe Tour) deserves a shout out here before I talk about Mr Fernando who was my tuktuk driver for the day. He is such a nice person to interact with and was warm enough to engage in conversations throughout the journey. His tuktuk is designed and decorated with the photos of tourists he has travelled with and that shows how dedicated and respectful he is towards his work. Highly recommend.
