Awesome
Fabulous excursion from start to finish. Ella is a must!!! We were extremely lucky to be given the opportunity to sit with the train driver to Ella, the guard took a video of us doing the usual tourist stuff (hanging out the train doors) and plenty of photos. The tuk-tuk to Nine Arch Bridges was like a roller coaster and another experience in itself. We trekked Little Adam’s Peak and had a go on the swing, the views are stunning. We grabbed some lunch then headed to the elephant orphanage. On the way we came across wild elephants we were lucky enough to get close while respecting that they're are wild animals. The orphanage was very cute. The journey was intensive but we expected a lot of travelling. I'd definitely recommend this activity.

Great day trip!
Highly recommend this day trip from Colombo to Sigiriya and Dambulla Cave Temple. My driver was great and got me everywhere safely and I had a wonderful guide at Sigiriya to help me get to the top while telling me all about the history. Be prepared for lots of steps but the views from the top and the accomplishment of making it to the top are worth it!

Value for Money - Go for it
A very well planned 3 day trip by Viator. The pacing is comfortable. Mr Arron my driver / guide did his job very well , 10 / 10 to Viator for choosing the right places to visit in 3 days so you get a good tour of important Places outside Colombo . A few points for improvement The Hotel 88th Ella at Ella was comfortable but the dinner was limited to a small set menu ( 4 dishes to choose from ) . If this stay venue can be changed . The Guide at Sigiriya Mr Tushar was no where near the top class guides normally I have encountered with Viator trips. His English was not clear . The guide did not cover the safety aspects when you climb up this treacherous route to the top of the Sigiriya Mountain . He was very casual . There were very strong winds as we climbed up the hill . No safety instructions given by the guide . Also his knowledge of the site was inadequate. This trip is value for Money . Just go for it .

Highly recommended Colombo city tour
Excellent city tour covering alk from itinerary plus few extra stops also. My guide Ahilan was very friendly and had lots of interesting background information about Sri Lankas history. He was also very flexible and dropped me off other side of the city at my request. Highly recommended tour and guide. Thank you.

This tour was the perfect...
This tour was the perfect introduction to Colombo on our first day in the city. Ramesh was an expert driver and efficient tour guide and managed to show us so many highlights in the brief time we had. He shared many interesting parts of his city with us with levity and humor. To top it off, we finished with dinner of the best chicken kottu roti I had on the entire trip. I definitely recommend this tour!

One interesting day in Galle, Sri Lanka
I spent a very good and positive day with my guide Lal Kumarage, he was all the time polite, helpful and gentle, all the time gave me a lot of tips during our tour. The tour was interesting, informative and without rush, I could change something during our tour without any difficulties. Thank you and I can recommend this company to provide you in Sri Lanka.

A great Introduction to Colombo
Mohamed was my driver and he was very knowledgeable. Tuk Tuk trips around the city are a calm easy to get a lay of the land. You make some interesting stops, some not as interesting but ultimately it's a really good first step to seeing Colombo with people who know the city well. I think this is an inexpensive great way to get acquainted with the city and see a few sites and I recommend it to anyone who wants to get started here.

Great trip, a little challenging climb
The trip was absolutely fantastic! Baby elephants were the highlight of our trip! Now, climbing Sigiriya rock was a little difficult due to humidity and heat. I recommend doing this tour in December - January, when Sigiriya region is more cool. I also wish lunch was a little better, had buffet option. Overall, the trip was fantastic. Highly recommend!

Great way to see Ella in a day!
We booked this as we were only in Sri Lanka a short time, and wanted to see Ella. This was a great way to tick off a few of the sights without it taking up more than a day. It was a guided tour but not much information given on each location, but it was still really good. We’d definitely recommend this trip!

Best day out
It was a wonderful day out, and both our drivers and guides were superb.
Very difficult to fault the experience. We didn’t see leopards, but did see Elephants, Eagles, Water Buffalo, Golden Jackal, Crocodile, various Deer, Mongoose, Monitor Lizzards, and a dazzling array of beautiful birds.
Highly recommended and lunch was great!

Amazing Wilpattu Safari – Highly Recommended!
We had an incredible experience on our Wilpattu safari from Negombo. Our guide was exceptional – knowledgeable, friendly, and really made the wildlife experience come alive. The day was long, starting with a 4 AM hotel pickup and returning around 7 PM, but it was absolutely worth it.
The drive from Negombo to Wilpattu took over 3 hours, and our driver was excellent – safe, smooth, and very accommodating. The highlight? Spotting not one, but two leopards in the wild! The park itself is stunning and less crowded than other national parks, which made the experience feel truly special.
If you’re considering a safari from Negombo, this is the one to do. Incredible wildlife, a fantastic guide, and a memorable adventure from start to finish.

Epic Yala Safari
This was one of the best experiences of my life. The best safari in Sri Lanka did not disappoint. I was lucky enough to see three elephants and two leopards. The private tour was fantastic and included the best excursion lunch I’ve ever had. This tour is an absolute must
