A memorable road trip to Sigiriya with Mahaweli - I had an amazing trip and it was very cheap as well. Worth every penny, communication was good and everybody I interacted with could speak English. Car and driver both were really nice so really enjoyed the trip.

Memories to last a lifetime - We had a fantastic trip with Mahaweli Tours to Dambulla, Sigiriya and Minneriya National Park. It is a long, long day if travelling (as we did) from Colombo, but it's absolutely worth it. Our driver and guide Sarath was fantastic and spent the day sharing his knowledge and love for this part of the world. He was also happy to accommodate us, and was waiting for us every time we exited one of the attractions. We even stopped off for a roadside king coconut. A great day.

Fantastic Experience - I had the pleasure of receiving absolutely excellent service from Mahaweli Tour, particularly from Geesara. He expertly arranged all of our transportation needs in Sri Lanka and organized a fantastic full-day tour to the breathtaking Sigiriya. I cannot express enough how satisfied we are with the experience. I would highly recommend their services to anyone visiting Sri Lanka!

Great customer service - Unfortunately I got very sick the morning of the trip and asked to postpone to the next day which was accepted generously. I then had to cancel for the following day and request a refund as I was still unwell and the team were very helpful and assisted in getting the full money back, great customer service.

Great visit to two must-see locations - Despite the long journey from Colombo, this was a very memorable day! Beware of the heat at Sigiriya and bring water. The food at the lunch location, Pradeep restaurant, was the best food I had in Sri Lanka. Our guide was patient and knowledgeable.

A great day! - The trip was fabulous and the tour co-ordinator was very happy to make changes to our schedule. Due to the elephants migrating to a different eco park we swapped to this from the suggested one and nothing was too much trouble. Our car driver was lovely and everything had been planned. Correspondence was very easy and quick. Would definitely recommend!

Professional, flexible service - The tour company was very flexible and willing to design a tour based on my needs. Dambulla caves and Sigiriya were incredible. The driver was professional and courteous. My only complaint is that insufficient attention was paid to time. I had to be back at my hotel by a specific time and had communicated this to the driver and tour company. However, because we were short on time, I did not make it all the way to the top of Sigiriya. To be fair, it was an ambitious goal to even attempt that in a day but I wish I had been advised to leave earlier or guided a little better during the day. I did book a second tour with this company given my overall good experience and reasonable prices.
