Tuktuk to Sigiriya was the best!

5.00First of all, huge huge thanks to Tony for being such a great tuktuk driver! The first driver in two weeks that’s didn’t rush through traffic and made us feel super safe. I highly recommend this tour. You get to see so much and so many things you wouldn’t see if you weren’t with a tuktuk driver. Tony was super attentive, stop at the road for coconuts, fruit and even helped other people climb to the top of the hike, also giving us valuable information at every stop

5.00Hello all, We spent with Tony two days in Kandy and touristic places around: White budda statue, Rock place, beautiful temples, tea factory etc. There was really good time.

5.00We spent two intense days with Tony. He taught us a lot about Sri Lanka and its culture as well as the history of Buddhism. Helpful and considerate he did everything to make the visits pleasant. He is also a very skilful tuk tuk driver fast and reliable and he took beautiful pictures. We also enjoyed his sense of humor!
Wonderful experience!

5.00This tour is much more exciting than I expected! I asked my guide Tony to climb Pidurangala rock instead of Sigiriya rock and I could see wonderful view!! Tony is a great photographer and showed me many good spots to take pictures. During this tour, I visited a lot of places and learned Sri Lankan culture deeply in one day. Tony is very kind and he always tried to do his best. It was a very meaningful time. I really recommend it!
