    Review of: Day tour to Sigiriya & Dambulla from Kandy by Aaliya Tours
    A day of great and varying experiences with Aaliya Tours
    All of the tour was great, although a bit physically demanding in terms of climbing steps. If I had to pick one favourite part of the day it was the add on safari tour into the National Park. It was a pity this cost us a further US$45 per head and required us to forego getting close to Sigiriya Rock. Our driver, Ilham, was just fantastic and did everything he could to ensure that we had a really enjoyable and educational day.

    Review of: Sigiriya-Dambulla Day Trip From Bentota/Kalutara/Wadduwa/Ahungalla-All Inclusive
    Amazing trip with village experience as add on
    Our day trip to Dambulla and Sigiriya rock was one of the 5 day trips organised by Bentota Trvale Mart. Before our trip to Sri Lanka I had researched and had spoken to other tour operators but I chose Sam as I found him very professional and he is able to quickly grasp the kind of experience one is seeking and accordingly recommend and customise tours. We were a family of 2 adults and 2 children and we thoroughly enjoyed this and other trips.

    The attractions at Dambulla and Sigiriya are indeed awesome consisting of rock temples, frescos and palaces over 2000 years old. We found the site very well maintained. We also had a village visit on the way back and this was something of a highlight for us. If you are doing this trip I highly recommend you ask Sam to put this as add on.

    The arrangements for the trip were simply perfect; comfortable A/c van, always on time, and our driver Dinesh communicated and looked after us very well.

    Sirigiya and Dambullah
    We climbed the Lion Rock and visited Dambullah with Diyath. He was punctual with a comfortable car and a good guide with lot of information. The view and the historic places are a must see in Sri Lanka.

    Review of: Minneriya / Kaudulla Or Hurulu eco park half day Jeep Safari
    Fantastic elephant gathering in Minneriya
    Fantastic elephant gathering in Minneriya NP. We took a half day safari in Minneriya and saw around 60-70 elephants! The best option is the afternoon when the wlephants leave the forest and go to graze, drink and bathe in Minneriya Tank waters. Our driver was excellent, he looked out for the elephants in different spots and placed the car in such a way that we could have perfect photo opportunities. The most magical moment was the end of the day when we saw a group of 25 elephants calmly grazing close to the tank. Well, watching a 2 month old calf was a also an amazing moment. We had a fantastic time! Thank you

    Review of: All inclusive Private day trip Sigiriya and Dambulla caves with more
    Day trip from Negombo to Dambulla Caves and Pidurangala Rock
    We had such a great day with Dimuth. He offered us a pickup at our hotel in Negombo and we had the chance to modify our itinerary according to our wishes. First we went to Dambulla - very impressive and while taking the hike to the Dambulla Caves we saw a lot of monkeys :) Instead of going to Sigiriya Rock - we climbed the rock right next to it - Pidurangala. This rock offers a spectacular view to Sigiriya Rock and is way less crowded. Later we also had the chance to see elephants. Dimuth is a very friendly person, told us a lot of interesting facts about Sri Lanka and is a safe driver (which is very important, because traffic in Sri Lanka is crazy! :D). I can only recommend booking one of his tours - you will have a fantastic experience :)

    Review of: The Ultimate Sigiriya Rock Private Day Trip
    Amazing guide
    Buddhima was the best guide! There was a giant mix- up with the tour companies, but she handled everything. She was easy to communicate with before the tour by text. She was prompt on pick-up and so friendly and caring. Very lovely experience.

    Review of: Sigiriya and Dambulla Day Tour from Kalutara / Wadduwa (All Inclusive)
    Exactly what we expected
    Sigiriya was an amazing place to visit. Eventhough it was a long ride, we enjoyed very much from the view from top. 360 view from the top was fascinating. Our guide explained about the heritage value of sigiriya and he was very helpfull throughout the tour. Also we were very happy with dambulla temple.
