Great Experience - This tour was absolutely great. The driver was friendly, welcoming, and knowledgable. You cannot beat seeing Sigiriya and visiting the temples in Dambulla, they are a must see if you come to Sri Lanka. We took the Village Tour and could not have been disappointed. Great food and experience. Choose this tour if you want a day trip while you are visiting Sri Lanka.

Wonderful experience! - This was a very long trip, so plan a rest day afterwards. And you'll be sore from climbing all those steps. We had a knowledgeable guide who was thoughtful and helpful. There were some expenses not included, so be prepared for that.

Terrible tour! DON'T TAKE IT - It was a terrible tour. The driver always forced me to purchase something from shops. Nothing was perfect and professional seems like a scam it was not as described. I asked for a money back but they refused. I was in the car more than 12 hours. NO GUIDE, BAD COMMUNICATION don't take it.
