5.00We had a great day trip to Dambulla and Sigriya from kandy with Dinesh today. Dinesh was great from the time he picked us up from our hotel this morning until he dropped our hotel key off to us this evening. We had accidentally left in his car. Dinesh managed the sometimes chaotic traffic on this little gem of an island with confidence and ease, and we felt relaxed and safe with him at the wheel. You cant go wrong if you choose to drive with Dinesh. He is the best!
Not our best experience

3.00So, the not so good bits first. The description said guide included which seemed to infer we would have a guide at the temples and Sigiriya but these were extra cost if you wanted them. Minor point no water supplied as stated in description. Our driver Nazly was very good and we felt safe with his driving but he was not very talkative and didn’t point out much. Sigiriya is very busy so be prepared and do your research.

5.00Excellent day trip from Kandy. We were able to view the temples, Ayurvedic spice garden and Sigiriya rock easily at a relaxed pace. Big thanks to our driver Fazli, who was an excellent and accommodating guide. He drove us safely, and chose some great places for us to eat breakfast and lunch when we were hungry, and went out of his way to buy us umbrellas when it started to rain. Highly recommend, thanks!

5.00Brilliant day trip, from kandy we visited an Ayurvedic herbal garden where the host explained all types of plants, spices and herbs grown in Sri Lanka. Afterwards our driver Milan took us to Dambulla cave temple, and then a delicious local restaurant which was affordable and authentic. Lastly, we we were taken to lions Rock. The views from the top are incredible, worth the hike up. Driver Milan was safe and punctual.
