Efficiently navigate the sights on a private tour

5.00Efficiently visit tourist attractions in one day. The drivers are kind, too. It's a private tour, so it's easier than connecting buses and trains. It's important to note that besides the price of this tour, safari jeeps cost about $100 per person. Admission to Sigiriya Rock is also extra. In total, the price is reasonable.
Amazing experience

5.00The trip was amazing, it ended up being a private trip as no other people bought the tour for that day. JK was great company and a safe and cautious driver for the day. There were optional extra excursions I could have done, but the weather had completely beaten me on the day and after walking up Sigiriya at midday, I was done for the day. Ishan was very flexible with the itinerary and waited for me once the tour was done. Ishan also speaks excellent English, which helped me learn more about the culture of Sri Lanka and what people's lives look like. I would highly recommend buying this tour if your schedule is tight and you can only spare one day for Sigiriya, Dambulla, and Minneriya. Highly recommend
Highly recommend sigiriya day trip

5.00I highly recommend the day trip, and the standout element was Mr. Asanka, our driver. He proved to be truly amazing, taking us to all the key places and providing insightful explanations about their significance. Mr. Asanka's polite and welcoming attitude added a memorable touch to the trip. I wholeheartedly give full marks to him. If you're in Kandy, I strongly suggest reaching out to Mr. Asanka for a fantastic experience exploring the area.
Great guide
