Highlights
- Sigiriya The Ancient Rock Fortress - Your tour in Sri Lanka would be incomplete without a Cultural tour to Sigiriya Sri Lanka. Sigiriya has an extensive history stretching back to approximately 477 CE. As per ancient readings of Culavamsa, the ancient rock citadel of Sigiriya was selected by the King Kashyapa for establishing his new capital. It was a plain rock he chosen to build his royal palace, then transformed into a mind-boggling construction. Even today, the planning behind this ancient architecture remains unrevealed and keeps us mesmerised. The king made his palace on this 200-meter high pillar rock and ornated the surfaces with vibrant frescoes. The entrance shaped like a lion gives it the name Sinhagiri, also recognised as Sigiriya. Today, it remains as one of the most visited tourist attractions and world heritage sites of Sri Lanka. Took 5hours to go to the Sigiriya site.
- Dambulla Cave Temple - Dambulla and Sigiriya are the best neighbours. It is the next close by location to visit after a Cultural tour to Sigiriya Sri Lanka. The cave temple complex of Dambulla, Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium and Ibbankatuwa prehistoric burial site are the major sightseeing points of Dambulla. Dambulla’s highlights continue to South Asia’s largest rose quartz mountain series and biggest ironwood forest so-called Na Uyana Aranya.Took 4hours to back to hotel.

A memorable experience with a great tour guide - Our group travelled to Sri Lanka this February via a travel agency from Romania. Sammy was our designated local tour guide. He showed us his beautiful country, full of wonders and places waiting to be explored. He is reliable, honest, resourceful, sociable, funny and also a great listener. He focused on everyone’s needs and took into account every detail of our trip. We had a great experience and we learned from him a lot of new things about Sri Lanka. So, if you want to discover the history and culture of this amazing country, Sammy is the one!

A place to remember - We went to Sri Lanka in February 2024 via V500 travel agency. Our guide was Sammy, who accompanied us throughout the tour, showing professionalism, reliability and organisational spirit. He is attentive to detail, adaptable and communicative, taking into account the needs of the tourists. He is calm, patient and understanding, but also generous.
So, If you have the opportunity to visit Sri Lanka, Sammy is the best choice. We highly recommend him!
