Excellent service and great Sigiriya tour ! - Amazing Sigiriya tour with wildlife sanctuary. We were picked up by wasa, our driver and had a brief explanation of tour schedule and what are the extras we can do, that’s it. Had a calm and safe drive to Sigiriya, safari tour and return to Colombo. The safari was amazing, we have never seen more than 50 elephants gathering to natural tank in the park. We were lucky to have this experience in Sri Lanka. We booked this tour bcz of the ratings and the great reviews, we can feel why everyone is giving 5 stars for this activity, bcz it was great. Please keep cash for the entry and activities. Thanks for the nice tour.
