Amazing. - This is a fantastic trip and experience. Irfan was our driver and he was amazing! He has very goid English. He told us the stories of parts of Kandy, religions, about Sri Lanka. He pointed at intending sights such as river bats, very old local cinema built in art deco style. Stopped by temples if he saw something interesting taking place. He brought us to a local place for lunch which was amazing. He was exceptionally attentive and just wanted to make us comfortable rain or sunshine. The car was clean, comfortable and air-conditioning was available.
Dambulla is so tranquil you just want to stay there forever. It was raining during our visit but it added a certain charm.
Singiria is spectacular, do take time to climb it. It's doable with brakes, not stip and rhe views are unforgettable.
We would definitely 100% recommend. Thank you.

Great day trip from Kandy - We had a great tour to Dambulla and Sigiriya which are both impressive sites. Our guide - Mr Ilham - was friendly, knowledgeable, and very accommodating, making the day easy and enjoyable for our family. The car was comfortable, and Mr Ilham was keen to tailor the tour to suit our needs. As well as main sites we stopped at a spice garden and a quick stop at a Hindu temple (though it was under construction so didn’t see it at its best). He was great with our children and made sure everyone was happy throughout the trip. Overall, it was a fantastic experience and worth the money. Highly recommended for families looking for a flexible and friendly tour!

Sigiriya Tour - We climbed Sigiriya Rock and had a wonderful view of the trees.
After that, I had many wonderful experiences.
On the way, it started raining, but the driver Irfan followed me perfectly and helped me. Thank you.

Brilliant tour to do in Kandy - Our tour was incredibly positive. It was an amazing day out that was made possible by or amazing guide Mr Irfan. He was incredibly knowledgeable and went the extra mile to ensure we enjoyed ourselves.
Sigiriya and Dambulla are both amazing, breathtaking spots to visit and having information from Mr Irfan made both sites even more interesting.

Great Sigiriya Rock visit! - Irfan had planned a great day for us. We went to Sigiriya rock and the cave rock temple where he organised a guide for us who told us all about each cave. We also stopped by at a herbal garden which was a fun experience that i didn’t realize we were getting, where we learnt about all the different Sri Lankan herbs and even got to buy some spices and things like that. The journey was a comfortable one and irfan made sure to check we were comfortable and needed anything from the road.

Wonderful Day Tour to Sigiriya & Dambulla with Ilham - We took a day tour to Sigiriya and Dambulla with our driver, Ilham, and had a truly wonderful experience. He was very friendly, easy to talk to, and drove safely throughout the trip in a comfortable, air-conditioned car. He also introduced us to places with delicious authentic dishes that we wouldn’t have discovered on our own. We had a fantastic time and would definitely recommend him!
