The driver was Japanese. - The driver spoke good Japanese, and although the journey was long, we had a lively conversation and it was very enjoyable. If there was something interesting to see, he stopped the car at a place that wasn't on the schedule and gave us time to take photos. He let us enjoy sightseeing in Sigiriya and Dambulla without worrying about time, and it was really fun.

A perfect day! - Isuru was an excelent driver and guide!!! He is very dedicated and pays attention to the client's needs and preferences :) He knows a lot about the history and culture of the country and he gave me some tips for my solo travel. We even drank a tea and he showed me another town besides the tour plan. It was an amazing day and I recommend 100% to have a tour with him :)

Great experience in Sigiriya - We went on a full day tour to Sigiriya from Kandy with Kit. We are a family of 4 with 2 kids, 6 and 2 years old. We were hesitant to Sigiriya rock at first minding our young children but Kit reassured us that we will be fine. It was truly a great decisions as the views were totally worth it. What I particularly liked was that with a private tour we could adjust our trip as it was convenient for us. Thus we also visited a safari and got to the hotel just in time for dinner. Kit was very pleasant, and shared a lot of interesting information on Sri Lanka. He is a great driver with a very comfortable car. Thank you very much for this experience!

We had an amazing trip with Diyath - We had Diyath as a guide and it was amazing. He showed us all the things that we had to see and told us everything about the culture. We could ask him anything and we had lots of fun. Thank you and we would recommend it with Diyath for sure. He was really open minded and you felt like you were part of family and not on a tour.

Awesome Day Tour with Diyath - We had a really nice day trip to Dambulla and Sigiriya with Diyath. He's a great tour guide, very caring and speaks good English. We had a -lunch village experience-, which I highly recommend to people who wanna see and taste something realistic of Sri Lanka. The whole Day was very interesting, funny and with a lot of WoW-Moments.
