Long day but worth it for most iconic Sri Lanka experiences - Had a great trip. Before the trip I was familiar with Sigiriya being an iconic destination. Until arriving I did not realize the scope and size of the site or the history. The cave temples were also an impressive sight to behold. Lastly to see the elephants in the wild was just breathtaking. Just a few comments to prepare future guests. It is a very long day. The drive from Colombo can take 3-4 hours each way depending on traffic. There is lots of traffic, and that in and of itself is a sight to behold. Secondly, there is lots of climbing of steps. You don’t need to be in peak physical shape, but understand that you will want to drink plenty of water (provided by tour), wear comfortable walking shoes, and definitely sunblock if fair skinned.

The Perfect Day - With only one day to see Sri Lanka I booked a private tour hoping for the best. The trip exceeded all expectations, Vidu made the entire day (14 hours!) fun and was extremely great company the entire time. The driving was comfortable and safe, the organisation was great and he was flexibel with what we planned. All of the excursions were brilliant - couldn't come more highly recommended. Will be back Vidu!

Not what was advertised, but safari was great! - Sri Lanka is a beautiful and amazing country! However, this excursion had many challenges. Our guide was an hour late to pick us up, and we ended up having to completely change the itinerary as there was not enough time to do everything promised with this excursion. The only things we had time to do were to go to the spice garden (skip it- major sales tactics here) and to the Jeep safari. The safari was perfect- we saw so many elephants and were able to get up close to them! We spent the majority of our excursion in the car with perilous driving. Would absolutely recommend the safari though! Will have to save Sigiriya for our next visit. Overall- highly recommend going to Sri Lanka and doing a safari but would not book this particular excursion.

Overall the experience... - Overall the experience was good but there were a few issues … like there was no WiFi on the car ride and no fruit or coconuts offered during safari and on the safari it took 2 hours of driving in terrible roads before we saw a couple elephants .
