Fantastic!!

Published on Apr, 2025

We had a fantastic day with our guide Mr. Irfan visiting the Dambulla Cave Temples and Sigiriya! Great communication with the company, with easy pick up and drop off. Mr. Irfan made our day fun and interesting, answering any questions we had and proving lots of fun surprise stops and treats along the way. It was great experience getting to enjoy the sites and explore Sri Lanka without having to worry about any of the logistics for the day. Would highly recommend this tour!!

Safe driver, packed lots into a day

Published on Apr, 2025

I waited until the end of my trip to write this because I wanted to have other things to compare it to. I can honestly say my driver (Irfan) was the safest driver I had in two weeks in Sri Lanka. He drove smoothly and carefully and as a solo female traveller I felt at ease with him. He put in extra effort to give commentary along the way about the history of the local area and stopped off to try fruits and look for elephants on the roadside. He dropped me off at sigariya and told me to take my time and he'd be waiting for me when I was done. Same with dambulla. The only thing I will say, is this is not a tour, it is a driver taking you to various locations, so make sure you read up on the things you are visiting beforehand as I didn't and I ended up missing the best bits at the dambulla caves because I thought It was just one cave! (Wasn't clear from the signs). It is a long day but I'm glad I did it to tick off sigariya as you can't come all the way to Sri Lanka and not see it!

Wonderful day trip to Sigiriya & Dumballa with excellent driver Sharmin

Published on Apr, 2025

Sharmin was very thoughtful & delightful company showing us around temples & stopped whenever we requested break for restrooms coffee or food etc. The traffic was very bad due to New Year festivities but he was very patient & careful - with good sense of humour. Thank you for an interesting & enjoyable trip - especially the detour to see wild elephants!

Great trip to Sigiriya

Published on Apr, 2025

Great trip. Our driver picked us up from our hotel in Kandy and took us to Sigiriya and Dambulla. He was very attentive all day explaining where to go and how to get the best of the trip and stopping to get us refreshments and to allow us to take photos. Sigiriya is spectacular- definitely worth the climb. Really good communication from the tour company before the trip to explain details and pick up. Thanks for a great day

Trip to lions rock

Published on Apr, 2025

From the start to the finish our trip was everything we hoped for. Our driver, Shamim, was such an accommodating, patient, safe driver. He quickly picked up on our love for nature and wildlife; he showed us things such as fruits, plants and wildlife that we would have missed , had he not been there. An excellent trip with an excellent driver. Thank you
