The "Wow" tour - Five of us embarked on this adventure that we called the "wow" tour, simply for how many times we said "wow" in a single day. Sakun was amazing and organised an incredible day. We were on a cruise so on a very tight timeline however both Sakun and our wonderful driver Kalu packed in Sigiriya, Dambulla and a village tour AND most importantly had us back with time to spare. Sakun was very thorough and flexible when organising the tour, sending me photos of the car and driver so I knew who to look for. We had wonderfully knowledgeable guides at both Sigiriya and Dambulla. The village experience turned out to be a highlight, a beautiful trip across a lake, a private cooking experience making Okra curry and a delicious lunch. Our driver Kalu kept us safe on unpredictable roads and the cherry on top was seeing elephants on the roadside on the drive home. Kalu kindly stopped and allowed us to take our many, many photos.

Sigiriya Fort and Dambulla Rock temple trip - Highly recommend trip to Sigiriya fort and Dambulla rock temple. We booked the trip from home via Bentota Travel Mart which included all entrance fees, guides and lunch. Ishan drove us safely to all the excursion and pointed out interesting things on the way. I would recommend to have a guide at Sigiriya fort as from just climbing up the fort by yourself you don't get the inside of the place. The guide was very knowledgeable and explained everything well. Just be aware there are lots of steps to climb. For the Dambulla rock temple we also had a guide so you could.understand the history behind the sculptures and various rooms. Highly recommend using Bentota Travel Mart for your excursions.

Lots of steps ut lobed jt - Amazing experience but if you have a fear of heights you .ight need to think twice! There is 12000 steps to climb at the Fortress and when you go to temple there is another 250 so a great workout. All joking aside it is worth it

Sigiriya and Dambulla - Visiting Sigiriya is a must if you are visiting Sri Lanka. It is steeped in culture and an important part of Sri Lanka’s history. Dambulla temple likewise.
Bentota Travel Mart is a great company to book with. We booked the trip 4 months prior to visit and the company immediately contacted me on WhatsApp to confirm the booking and answer any questions. Their responses were quick and efficient.
On the day of the trip, our driver Dinesh was very helpful and our guide at Sigiriya was very entertaining and knowledgeable.
I would highly recommend.

Disorienting - Very beautiful safari with varied landscapes and various animals. Animals and flora are protected there. The leopard was sleeping but we saw it like a cat with its paws in the air.

Amazing experience. - It was well worth the effort to climb the stairs and reach the top of the Lion Rock. I wouldn’t say that I am a very fit person rather average but if you take it easy and stop whenever you need to stop on the way up, you can do it. Nothing compares with the feeling of reaching the top.. amazing views all the way to top and plenty of history too.

Fab trip, lovely driver, wonderful company - We were really excited about this trip & delighted when it turned out that Dinesh would be our driver, as he’d driven us earlier in the week. Unfortunately, as we got loaded into the car, my elder daughter was taken ill & the difficult decision was made that she & I would stay behind & my husband & younger daughter would continue the journey. Dinesh took all of this in his stride & they went off and had a fabulous day. The sites were wonderful, the guides informative & the lunch tasty. Again, they really enjoyed the day with Dinesh’s careful driving and attentive chaperoning. The photos brought back bear witness to the fabulous time they had & the sheer scale and size of the sites. Meanwhile, back at the hotel, it was so touching to receive messages of support and offers of help from Sam at Bentota Travel Mart- I really appreciated this, in a tricky situation. Thanks very much to all for two fabulous tours.
