    Amazing Full-Day Tour to Sigiriya & Dambulla!

    Daniel_F, Oct 2026
    We started from our Colombo hotel after breakfast at 7:30am and reached Sigiriya 3h45 mins later. Our driver/guide (Heshan) was excellent and informative and in touch via Whatsapp in the run up to our tour. After climbing the rock we had a buffet lunch in a traditional clay hut in Sigiriya. Then we headed to Dambulla Cave Rock Temple which is another must-see. At special request the driver dropped us off in Kandy for the night (extra USD 25) so that we could explore Kandy City the following day. This level of flexibility is outstanding. Highly recommended tour and tour operator.

    Excellent activity, disappointing service and guide

    Leela_B, Nov 2025
    The “knowledgeable English speaking guide” picked us up and did not speak a word to us for 3 hour journey from Colombo to Sigiriya. He then told us to pay a guide for the trip round Sigiriya, which we refused as it was an all inclusive tour. I had to phone his boss to get this paid. We went for lunch, via somewhere he tried to sell us “add on tours” at additional cost which we declined. He then took us to Dambulla cave temples which he knew absolutely nothing about. We knew more about them by reading a brief guide before booking the tours. The experience of Sigiriya and Dambulla were excellent and would highly recommend a visit, but this is the worst Viator booked guide we have had anywhere in the world and we would have been better off with a friendly taxi driver.
