Excellent trip to Sigiriya and dambulla with Wasa - We visited Sigiriya,safari and dambulla from Colombo. Our driver was wasa, who accompanied us and gave us a wonderful insight on Sigiriya fortress and dambulla caves. He has a good knowledge about Buddhism and history which is very important when you’re visiting world heritage sites. Our journey was smooth and perfect with a clean nice car . We were back to hotel around 9 pm. A long day with many activities and excellent service.

Our driver Wasa was... - Our driver Wasa was perfect. He took excellent care of us and got us back in time for our dinner reservations. It is a long day, more like 12-14 hrs if you want to do everything and depending how long you spend at the safari. It took some time to find the elephants so we decided to not hike up Sigiryia rock and the whole trip was 12.5hrs.

Amazing experience! 3 activities - It was well worth climbing Sigiriya fortress. I’m not a fit person than others but nothing compares with the feeling of reaching the top. Our driver was very good guy he managed us to keep our schedule as it’s. Very knowledgeable and safe driver. The first destination was safari where I could see many wild animals there. It’s a great day with 3 activities.

Seeing the elephants - Very long, but worth it. Hard to climb the steps after long day. Seeing the wild elephants was the highlight light. One of the best guides we have ever had. Lots of little extras.

Relaxing and Pampered - We were in safe hands with our driver Wasa. Wasa communicated well and was punctual. He offered suggestions but was not pushy. He was always reminding us that it was our holiday and nothing was a problem. I would not hesitate to recommend JK travels to anyone and if we return we will use them for sure. Thank you Wasa!!

Service received not what advertised - Sigiriya, Cave rock temple and Pidurangala are amazing places to visit. Driver was flexible to substitute Safari with Pidurangala and truly appreciate it. Why 2 stars? Here's why: ** English speaking Driver <-- driver speaks little English and was having a hard time communicating ** a Tourist Driver to share stories and history that you might miss alone <-- Didn't happen. Didn't hear a single explanation of places I visited. Why? See point #1 above ** Safari Jeep cost <-- Such a large additional cost needs to be mentioned. 22000LKR is no small change for short drive in a jeep.
