What To Expect
Sigiriya The Ancient Rock Fortress
Your tour in Sri Lanka would be incomplete without a Cultural tour to Sigiriya Sri Lanka. Sigiriya has an extensive history stretching back to approximately 477 CE. As per ancient readings of Culavamsa, the ancient rock citadel of Sigiriya was selected by the King Kashyapa for establishing his new capital. It was a plain rock he chosen to build his royal palace, then transformed into a mind-boggling construction. Even today, the planning behind this ancient architecture remains unrevealed and keeps us mesmerised. The king made his palace on this 200-meter high pillar rock and ornated the surfaces with vibrant frescoes. The entrance shaped like a lion gives it the name Sinhagiri, also recognised as Sigiriya. Today, it remains as one of the most visited tourist attractions and world heritage sites of Sri Lanka. Took 5hours to go to the Sigiriya site.
Dambulla Cave Temple
Dambulla and Sigiriya are the best neighbours. It is the next close by location to visit after a Cultural tour to Sigiriya Sri Lanka. The cave temple complex of Dambulla, Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium and Ibbankatuwa prehistoric burial site are the major sightseeing points of Dambulla. Dambulla’s highlights continue to South Asia’s largest rose quartz mountain series and biggest ironwood forest so-called Na Uyana Aranya.Took 4hours to back to hotel.

5.00We had the absolute pleasure of having Sammy as our guide during our trip to Sri Lanka, and we couldn’t have asked for anyone better! From the moment we met him, he was warm, knowledgeable, and incredibly supportive, ensuring we had the best experience possible. Sammy didn’t just show us the sights—he brought the history, culture, and traditions of Sri Lanka to life with his deep insights and engaging storytelling. He introduced us to the local way of life, shared fascinating details about the country’s heritage, and made us feel truly welcomed, just like the amazing Sri Lankan people we met along the way. His passion for his country was contagious, and thanks to him, we left with not only beautiful memories but also a deep appreciation for Sri Lanka’s rich culture. Sammy, thank you for making our trip unforgettable and for sharing the wonders of this incredible country with us! If you’re visiting Sri Lanka and want the best experience, we highly recommend Sammy!

5.00I just returned from an incredible 8-day trip around the southwestern quarter of Sri Lanka with a large group of friends, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! Our guide, Sammy, was truly exceptional—kind, thoughtful, and always making sure our wishes were met. He took care of everything, allowing us to simply enjoy the journey, and even surprised us with special moments along the way. I won’t spoil the details, but trust me, his service goes above and beyond. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a stress-free and memorable adventure in Sri Lanka!

5.00Our group travelled to Sri Lanka this February via a travel agency from Romania. Sammy was our designated local tour guide. He showed us his beautiful country, full of wonders and places waiting to be explored. He is reliable, honest, resourceful, sociable, funny and also a great listener. He focused on everyone’s needs and took into account every detail of our trip. We had a great experience and we learned from him a lot of new things about Sri Lanka. So, if you want to discover the history and culture of this amazing country, Sammy is the one!

5.00We went to Sri Lanka in February 2024 via V500 travel agency. Our guide was Sammy, who accompanied us throughout the tour, showing professionalism, reliability and organisational spirit. He is attentive to detail, adaptable and communicative, taking into account the needs of the tourists. He is calm, patient and understanding, but also generous. So, If you have the opportunity to visit Sri Lanka, Sammy is the best choice. We highly recommend him! Ștefania și Dan, București , România
