    The driver accompanying us was very helpful but of course he was lacking in providing information about the places. Other than that, it was a very enjoyable tour.

  • Good taxi service, but not a ‘tour’

    The driver was punctual and friendly, drove safely and the vehicle was clean. I would call this more of a taxi service than a tour. You get a driver to the main sights and then when you get there you are left to yourself or directed to buy another tour guide service. This is fine as long as long as this is what you expect. The main sites were great to see, and good to do it in a day because it is a long way from Kandy. Our driver did also try to take us to wood carving shop and some other tour experience at extra cost which we weren’t interested in. Those extras may have been perfectly good (but would have made the overall day too long for us) but It would be better if they asked if we wanted this at the start of the day, rather than just arrive at these places only for the awkwardness for everyone of being told we weren’t interested. Overall as a taxi service it is 4 stars out of 5, but as it was sold as a ‘tour’ it is 3 stars out of 5.

    Fantastic trip to Sigiriya and Dambulla, such beautiful and inspiring places! Great communication from our driver Irfan and the company before and during the trip, which was really helpful and allowed us some freedom. Irfan even dropped us off in the town centre at our request, being flexible throughout the day to our needs and interests. Irfan was a very personable and knowledgeable driver and guide.

    We had a fantastic trip to Sigiriya (Pidurangala rock) and the Dambulla cave. Our guide, Ilham, was extremely kind and knowledgeable about Sri Lanka. He was very flexible, punctual and accomodating - he took up our additional requests without qualms and gave us extra suggestions about where to visit after the main tourist spots. He also brought us to an affordable and authentic Sri Lankan restaurant and treated us to some juicy fruits at the end. My partner and I had a wonderful experience together! :)

    Great trip out. The company allowed us to change pick up times and the day programme to suit ourselves. The temples were lovely and our driver was great too. He explained the culture, religion and foods of Sri Lanka and found us a great local restaurant for lunch . I'd highly recommend this trip although it is a long way from Kandy
