Best experiance ever. - Our driver Indika was amazing, best/safest driver in Sri Lanka. All stops were supurb, the guy we had for the safari kept at it until we found the elephants Once found they were all around the jeep there were no other jeeps around. One was a bit cheeky, rocking the jeep, a quick tut tut from driver and he behaved. Then we were very close to a mother with 4 month old baby elephant, we will never forget this experiance and feel very lucky. I cannot rate these guys high enough.

Convenient and affordable - Our tour guide Kushan was very friendly, accommodating and knowledgeable. We visited a spice garden, the Dambulla cave rock temples and then climbed Sigiriya Lion Rock which was the highlight of the tour.

Amazing Day Trip - Isuru was my guide for my day trip and I couldn’t speak highly enough of his friendly service and sense of humour. I was solo on this trip but he made me feel most welcome from the moment I got in the car. 5 stars all the way.

Excellent day trip - Excellent driver who was very helpful and kind. The arrangements and communication with the office were very good and clear instructions where to meet. I happened to be the only booked on that day so felt very much a personal tour and personal safari. Safari guide was also very good. Would highly recommend.

It was so much fun and a great experience! - It was a group tour with one person and another participant. We hoped to take a leisurely stroll through Dambulla caves and Sigiriya Rock, and felt like we didn't necessarily have to go on safari. Instead of going on safari, we had lunch and were able to get back to Kandy at 6pm without getting too late. The driver, Leslie, was kind and flexible, which was great. I was very satisfied. I recommend it.

Beautiful day in Dambulla and Sigiriya - I'm happy I decided to take this tour. Our chauffeur, Lesley, was very good at driving, super confident on the road, I felt very safe during the whole trip. But not only that, he was also very kind, polite, helpful, caring and generous. He wanted to make sure all the time that we are happy, our needs and wants are met. The three of us had a good time together, we had good conversations and a lot of laugh. I recommend this tour to everyone and wish that you get a chauffeur like Lesley and companion like Rie :)
