Great guided tour of many of the sights of Anuradhapura

5.00We had a great experience viewing the sights of Anuradhapura with our guide. He was very knowledgeable and spoke very good English. There was no rush and we were able to spend as long as we wanted at each location. There is so much to see and although the tour can’t cover everything it included a huge amount and certainly enough to take in on a single tour. The admission fee was $30 per person and was well worth the cost. The guided tour was good value for money
