Kumar was amazing! Excellent driver & knowledgeable! - Kumar was an amazing driver and we would highly recommend him to anyone. He picked us up on time, and was very knowledgeable during the drive. He made sure the car was a comfortable temperature the entire time and always stopped if needed for bathroom breaks or food. He also went out of his way to show us little things like red bananas and a great local juice place on the way. The tours were also amazing - Kumar made sure we had a knowledge guide that spoke English for Sigiriya, who pointed about a lot of interesting features we would have by passed. And Dambulla was so impressive. We would highly recommend booking this trip and request Kumar!

Sigriya and Dambulla day trip - The trip was customized as per my requirements. Early pickup from airport and drop off to the airport late at night. We had transit from Sri Lanka and wanted to make the most of the one day trip in the island country. Best service offered. The driver Mr Rasika is very efficient and knew the sightseeing and locations well. We had requested for cheap and budget place for lunch and we were taken to restaurant as per our requirement. Rates of OK Lanka tours are very budget friendly with proper care taken on. Highly recommended. We did this tour on 1st March 2019 on our onward journey from India to Seychelles transiting at Sri Lanka
