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.

Essentially an expensive taxi - This was an unusual one in that I thought we were joining a group, but it was only me and my partner in the back of a car and a driver and a “guide” in the front. The “guide” gave us some interesting details as we left Colombo but nothing more really after that. He introduced us to other guides at the temple and the rock that showed us around those places. So I’m not sure why he was in our car? Sigiriya is amazing and well with the visit but it was a 4 hour car journey back to Colombo so be ready. The company was Apple tours.

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.
