What a great tour! We started early in the morning, but it was definitely worth it. I got the chance to visit some of the most spectacular sites in Sri Lanka in just one day. I was lucky enough to see a herd of elephants up close - they were so magnificent! Special thanks to the driver, Madu. His driving skills were impressive!
Optimal organisation, very kind driver...the weak point is just it's too much for one day: for iron mens :-)

The trip was very nice, the communication was perfect, and they helped with paying for the entrance tickets. All this part was excellent. The only weak point is that it is too much. I do not know how could people wake up at 6.00, stay in a car for 4 hours (7-11), then enjoy a safari (which was marvellous with kind people but anyway is related to being worn out for 2 hours in a jeep under the sun), have light lunch and then, if you do not want to miss the amazing Dambulla temple (closing at 17:30 - many steep steps to climb), be able to climb Sigiriya (more than 1000 steps) in a couple of hours....because everything is closing at 17:30 so no way to ask for more time....overall everything hotel -> hotel lasted 14h and we were exhausted. Sigiriya is expensive, better visit it with calm on a separate day...otherwise this (wonderful) trip can be enjoyed fully only by Olympic athletes ....
14.5 hour day. Not an accurate description on Viator

Good day but a number of things to warn fellow travellers: 1. If coming from Colombo it is a minimum of 14 hours. It is a long day and the timing is not correct on the website 2. Bring water. This was not provided and it was hot! 3. Be warned about the extra fees. The price on Viator is not the whole price and I was given no advance warning when booking what the extra was. 4. Bring US dollars 5. The sights were amazing but it is a lot to cover in one day. We were exhausted 6. Our driver did not speak a lot of English so read up the background in advance
TINY CAR

The driver / slash guide was great, however, the car was too small. We can't even move our legs. Also, the safari in Minneriya National Park took so long to find the elephants, they asked us to pay an additional 39,000 LKR for that.
Fantastic day trip!

Fantastic trip taking in three amazing sites, which were all really different experiences. My driver Mohamed was great, lovely to chat to and introduced me to his favourite music. It was a long day from Colombo, 14 hours but so worth it!
