Good but long day out

5.00Very long but good day out. Saw some of Sri Lanka's best sights and the safari was excellent if a little hot as it was done during the middle of the day. Only complaints were the tourist trap spots of the spice gardens, the traditional village tour in Sigirya and the wood work shop which are all just trying to sell you stuff and really stretch an already long day out. Thankfully our driver was understanding and flexible but we wouldn't have had lunch until close to 4:30pm otherwise, having been picked up at 6:30am. I would suggest stopping for lunch prior to the safari. Was about 13 hours all up.
Had a great day

5.00We had a great day along with our driver. He was very knowledgeable and could tell us many different facts along the way! We visited a spicegarden, two temples and the Lions rock. The driver also took us to a lovely place for a buffet lunch. Our group was small, so we collectively decided not to do the safari, but the driver managed to show us some wild elephants in stead! The driver really made an effort to give us a great experience. The tour is long, so be sure to pack som snacks and some water! Shoulders and knees must be covered to be able to visit the temples, but it is possible to rent pieces of clothing for a small fee (100 lkr).
Great option for solo travelers

5.00Saw this on Viator and booked right away. I only had a limited number of days in Sri Lanka and this day trip from Kandy to Sirigiya helped simplify my itinerary while still getting to see more of the country. Michael was a great guide. Showed up on time and in a comfy minibus with waters. We got to see Dambulla, Sirigiya and do a safari. We only had 1 hour in the Sarai park before closing but we got to see around 20 elephants in that time. I’ll say Dambulla and Sirigiya were amazing but the climb is not for the weak. If you have mobility or heart conditions maybe sit this one out. Otherwise I’d 100% recommend.
Great experience

5.00Good long day of touring. Started with a Hindu temple then a spice garden then Buddhist temple and finally the rock. There is also an option to do the safari but we opted out. Amila was a great host and driver. We felt safe even on Sri Lankan roads.
Nice opportunity

4.00Comfortable bus, friendly driver with good skills, everything was good. Though I was expecting more guidance about places we've visited, the company provides just "delivering". But still everything was good and I have a great experience
Fantastic jam packed tour

5.00We had a fantastic day and got to experience and see a lot of things (including many elephants). Long journey by car to get there and back (from Kandy), but it was worth it!
