This is a rewarding day... - This is a rewarding day involving a lot of driving and climbing. Climbing to the top of the ancient city on the rock is a challenge that is worth the effort to understand the history.

I had a whole day, a lot of fun. - Susannah, our guide, took us for a whole day. It was amazing to see the city, beautiful scenery and Aurora in my own eyes. He suggested an optional safari tour and went with me, but it was a valuable experience to see elephants in front of me in nature. It was a very enjoyable day, thank you very much!

Daytrip to Dambulla, Sigiriya and great safari - Our guide Sunil did a great job showing us Dambulla, climbed Sigiriya with us and even organized a great, spontanous safari tour where we were so lucky to see a baby elefant with its mother. He showed us local spots to buy fresh mango and coconut. And all that to comed with a fair price. 100% recommendation!

Trip with Pradeep is very recommended. Singirya, Dambulla, elephants - I went on a trip with Pradeep to sigirya, dambulla and the national park. What a great day! He picked me up at 7:30am and brought me home at 9pm. I would really advise to go on a trip with him. We had a lot of fun and he knows a lot about the places to tell. Also you can ask him about things you want to see and he will stop on the way, like a very big Hindu temple. You can ask him about everything and he shares a lot. Very recommended! Also he gives good tips about local norms and standards like eating with hand, which I want to become better in.

Nice experience for a solo traveller - I enjoyed the trip. It was really time effective, as we did everything planned: Dambulla, Sigiriya and Minneriya National Park. Even managed to do some extra, in particular a small herbal garden on the way. And a nice lunch near Sigiriya, of course. Also I travelled alone, so it was sort of a personal guided tour, in a nice air conditioned car. The driver, Janaka, was a really pleasant person, and shared a lot of information about Sri Lanka, its history and culture on the way. I met many different guides in the past, but not all of them were so attentive to the clients and did their job with such dedication. In short, everything was as promised at the tour webpage, and I am really satisfied:)

Recommended for solo female travelers - It was an amazing trip. Driver Susantha was very kind and we were welcomed with hospitality everywhere we went. We even stop to try Durians. I also recommend this tour to solo female travelers like me.

A full day from Candy - We spent an entire day exploring the spice gardens, the cave temples of Dambulla, the Lion Rocks of Sigiriya and safaris. It is a very resonable tour and I would recommend it. The lunch curry was also delicious. Drinks are not included. It's a good idea to have a safari in a different Jeep for an additional Rs. 20,000. You'll also need to pay $35 for admission to Lion Rock in Siguria and tip your Guide. It took 12 hours from Kandy and back, and thank you for a very fulfilling day.

A fake spice garden? - Yeah. - I thought I could go to the Golden Temple in Dambulla, but where did I go? I was able to climb Sigiria anyway, so I'm good.

Hire your own taxi - Great driver but beware the wording. Booked a trip to Lion Rock (knew we had to pay entrance fee) but as said lunch, and elephant safari inc. not the case so skipped safari, had lunch which driver paid (paid him back though) then back to hotel. It would have been cheaper to get a taxi as this trip was a taxi only excursion.
