Great day trip from Kandy - Excellent day trip from Kandy. We were able to view the temples, Ayurvedic spice garden and Sigiriya rock easily at a relaxed pace. Big thanks to our driver Fazli, who was an excellent and accommodating guide. He drove us safely, and chose some great places for us to eat breakfast and lunch when we were hungry, and went out of his way to buy us umbrellas when it started to rain. Highly recommend, thanks!

Great day trip to sigirya - Brilliant day trip, from kandy we visited an Ayurvedic herbal garden where the host explained all types of plants, spices and herbs grown in Sri Lanka. Afterwards our driver Milan took us to Dambulla cave temple, and then a delicious local restaurant which was affordable and authentic. Lastly, we we were taken to lions Rock. The views from the top are incredible, worth the hike up. Driver Milan was safe and punctual.

Very good tour! - Very good tour, our driver (Dinesh) was very nice and helpful. Although the driver is not a tour guide, they will link you up with tour guides if you want. You also have lots of option to adapt the tour to what you want.

Day trip to Sigiriya Rock and Dambulla Cave - We were collected at 8am by Dinesh in a lovely air conditioned minibus for 7 of us. Dinesh was knowledgeable and very accommodating.
We visited the Hindu Temple in Matale which was beautiful.
Then we visited the Spice Gardens which were amazing.
Dinesh then drove us to Sigiriya Rock to climb and then finally back to Dambulla Cave Temple.
This is a long day trip and we arrived back at our hotel at 7pm
Dinesh was brilliant!

Not our best experience - So, the not so good bits first. The description said guide included which seemed to infer we would have a guide at the temples and Sigiriya but these were extra cost if you wanted them. Minor point no water supplied as stated in description.
Our driver Nazly was very good and we felt safe with his driving but he was not very talkative and didn’t point out much.
Sigiriya is very busy so be prepared and do your research.
