Our Guide Abdul was very helpful and accommodating. Private transfer and the day trip was tailored to our requests, got to see the places we wanted and skipped ones we didn't.

A good day out. We had two drivers with us so we both had someone to ask questions to. The lads were patient and aloffered plenty of things to do. We picked and chose what we wanted to do and didn't feel rushed for time. Would gladly use them again.

Great experience, got to alter the itinerary as we wished. Enjoyed climbing Sigiriya Rock and the villiage experience - food very nice and authentic. Safari was highlight, knowledgeable safari driver which was arranged by the company. Our driver for the day Ferose was friendly and knowledgeable. Comfortable car for long drives. Ferose was helpful and chatty and enjoyable company. Only thing to note is that all activities you need to pay for so have a decent amount of cash handy.

fake visits, and fake safari's arranged as against genuine. At the end was trying to avoid the best programme of climbing mount sigiriya and was forcing to take up forest safari for earning dubiously

This isn’t a tour but rather an option to rent a driver for the day. It’s very pricey and I felt rushed through the day. I had to pay for my own tickets and tour guides. I would not recommend as it was very expensive and not a good experience.

The tour operator cancelled the tour one hour after is was supposed to start, like they forgot they had a booking when I called them. I got a refund but they still took away my opportunity to see these beautiful sights.

This was a great way to see Sigiriya Rock if you are staying in Colombo. My driver Ajantha also took me to a fantastic local restaurant for lunch, where the food was so yummy and the proprietors very kind. Just note that the included lunch in the tour is at the village safari.
Just be prepared for a LONG day of driving, as the Rock is 4 hours away from Colombo, one way.

The perfect way to finish my Srilankan adventure… I was running out of time but still wanted to see the Dambulla Cave Temple and Sigiriya Rock Fortress before my flight home, and this day tour ticked both boxes. I also stopped off at the Ayurvedic Herbal Garden, which was an educational experience. Plus, I had a delicious traditional Srilankan meal cooked by head chef at Sigiri Mount Villa (be sure to check them out). Finally, a big thank you to my driver, Aswar.

Wir wurden aufgefordert zu stornieren und bar zu bezahlen. Da wir uns weigerten wurden wir nicht abgeholt und mit fadenscheinigen Gründen (Fahrer hat den falschen Kunden mitgenommen und vieles mehr) hingehalten. Uns sollte noch die Schuld zugeschoben werden . Als wir alle Aussagen widerlegen konnten kam die Mitleidstour. Wir haben uns auf nichts eingelassen und warten auf die zugesagte Erstattung. Alle anderen Ausflüge haben wir storniert

Wir wurden vor der Reise über den örtlichen Reiseveranstalter kontaktiert, der wollte, dass wir die Reise stornieren und ihn bar bezahlen. Das war wirklich penetrant und wirkte sehr unseriös.
Der Fahrer selber war freundlich, hatte aber keinen Ahnung von der gebuchten Tour, so dass wir das selber regeln mussten und ihm sagen mussten wohin wir wollen. Auch das inkludierte Wasser bekamen wir nur auf Nachfrage. Alles in allem war das nur eine Taxi Fahrt. Die hätten wir deutlich günstiger haben können. Wir wissen gar nicht wofür wir das Geld bezahlt haben..
