Enjoy the views! - My driver/guide was really kind and took me to all the spots that I wanted to see and was knowledgeable. The company was very accommodating for me to arrange the tour and my driver made sure I found my bus that I needed to take afterwards. Highly recommend this tour 😊

Amazing trip to a lost kingdom, with fantastic traditional Sri Lankan food at the end - Polonnaruwa is an amazing place with so much to see, it feels like a lost kingdom hidden in the rainforest. Our driver, Gayan, was great and took us to all the main sites, it's at least 3-4hrs of sightseeing. By the end we were quite hungry so he took us to an amazing restaurant in a small village near Polonnaruwa, with buffet-style traditional Sri Lankan food, which was one of the highlights of the trip. Can't recommend enough!

Beautiful Place - Overall, it was a great experience in a beautiful place full of culture. The sights and atmosphere were truly memorable. The driver assigned to us was friendly and responded to our requests, which we appreciated. However, he seemed a bit rushed and drove quite fast, which made parts of the trip feel less relaxed. He also came across as slightly lazy at times. Still, the destination itself made up for it, and I’d recommend the experience.

Memorable Polonnaruwa - Polonnaruwa was so much fun, especially because we explored by bike. Even the drive there was adventurous, seeing wild elephants and peacocks. A special thank you to Sangit, our driver, who was accommodating, polite, and wanted to make our trip as memorable as possible by stopping us on the way for photo opportunities.
