Going to the Lyon Rock - I was so pleased with Mr. Harshad, for the whole ride from colombo to Sirigiya introduced me to the local culture, food and stops at places where I could see, explore and enjoy on my own pace! It was definitely a long journey but he managed to make sure that when I needed a translation he was able to assist me, which I appreciate as a mature person on my own, very grateful, thank you!

Fantastic Tour!!! - The tour guide quickly knew what I was interested in and showed me some other spots to go which I thought was better than the main attraction. Loved this tour!

fantastic - Simply breathtaking! The Sigiriya tour was fantastic. I just enjoyed the rock climb. The pace of life in this region is generally slower and more connected to nature. If you want to take a break from the daily hustle, this is the place to go. I was not too sure if I should take this trip but later I decided to go as I have a free day before I left Sri Lanka. Take my word it is a must see historical wonders and a hidden gem. I will cherish the memories forever!

Amazing tour - The Sigiriya tour was well-organized. We learned so much about the ancient civilization, and the Pidurangala Rock climb was adventurous. I have visited Sri Lanka long before but didn’t really have the opportunity of visiting Sigiriya. So I thought this time I would definitely go. No regrets, I had a blast!

A great day - Kavi made a custom day trip from Kandy to Colombo for us. We went to sigiriya rock and the area around and did the village tour, the whole day was really nice and Kavi was really nice and helpful the whole time!

Wouldn't do this combination again - Pickup was 2h late because viator apparently didn't transmit the booking. One could think about booking directly to avoid something like that. I was accompanied by a very friendly driver, however, he couldn't speak much English. Sigiriya rock is great and really interesting. The village safari I wouldn't do again (extremely touristy). There was NO COOKING CLASS (having asked they said they didn't forget, the lunch plus explanation what everything is is what they meant). Pidurangala was great. In essence, it's probably easier (and cheaper!) to book a driver for a day...
