Great trip - The trip was really great. Dimuth was an excellent guide and flexible to help see the items on the itinerary despite having to get to the airport for an evening flight. We were able to start a little earlier than scheduled which helped to fit around other plans. Dimuth was really great and I would recommend this trip to others.

Fun! - Zainal was amazing. He was very informative with history. He answered my questions and most importantly he drove me to the hotel safety. I did not feel unsafe. Solo traveler.

Great day of tours - I had a great tour day. The driver was prompt and made it a pleasant drive. He checked if you wanted to stop at anytime for food. We were able to go to all the sites and the driver recommended an additional village tour we could try which was great. He did a great job of coming up the best order to visit everything. Loved the safari and the view from Sigiriya. Highly recommend this tour service.

Full day tour with lots of activities - We had a great tour with Gajaba, who took excellent care of us. Communication before and during the tour was very good. Gajaba was making sure that we had a good time. Thank you!
As mentioned in the description of the activity, the entrance fee to Sigiriya is not included, so be prepared to spend 30$ per person for that. A guide in Sigiriya is optional and costs 15-20$. The village tour is an additional 15$ per person, the lunch however is included but you might want to tip here and there.
We arrived happy and full of new impressions at our hotel at around 6pm.

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 :)
