Interesting and beautiful trip - Guide Janaka was great. Very grateful for the service. We left from Kandy. The whole tour took 12 hours. The guide helped with any questions and difficulties. Sigeriya and Dambola are amazing places.

Wonderful experience!! - Fantastic day organised by Geesara. Our driver Sampath was wonderful, incredibly friendly and looked after us very well! A curry lunch and guide to take us up Sigiriya had also been organised which were great touches. Will definitely contact Geesara next time we visit Sri Lanka for more trips!

A fantastic day trip - Really good trip! Visited Lions Rock, where the tour company had arranged a guide for us. We had delicious Sri Lankan food (included) and also visited the Dambulla Rock Cave Temple. The driver was lovely and sincere. Would definitely recommend

This is a rewarding day... - This is a rewarding day involving a lot of driving and climbing. Climbing to the top of the ancient city on the rock is a challenge that is worth the effort to understand the history.

I had a whole day, a lot of fun. - Susannah, our guide, took us for a whole day. It was amazing to see the city, beautiful scenery and Aurora in my own eyes. He suggested an optional safari tour and went with me, but it was a valuable experience to see elephants in front of me in nature. It was a very enjoyable day, thank you very much!

A fake spice garden? - Yeah. - I thought I could go to the Golden Temple in Dambulla, but where did I go? I was able to climb Sigiria anyway, so I'm good.

Disappointing trip - Disappointing as our driver didn’t speak very good English. We had great difficulty asking where we were going and trying to get an itinerary. We didn’t want to do the temples, but despite this we struggled to get to Sigirya by 3.30 and had only visited the spice garden and a cafe for lunch. When we got to Sygiria, of course it was amazing, but we wished we’d booked the trip with an English speaking driver.
