Amazing day trip with Irfan - We had the pleasure of Irfan as our driver and tour guide for a day visit to Dambulla, Sigirya and Polanaruwa - and my goodness, what an unforgettable day it was. While our original itinerary was for the three aforementioned places, Irfan made the trip extra special with a number of surprise visits which made an already amazing trip, incredible - showing us even more of the country than we imagined. Irfan was the perfect guide, always on hand to point out interesting facts or sights and make the trip extra special with treats along the way. It was a full day but one we won’t forget. Thanks again, Irfan!

This trip is a must! - What an amazing day! Irfan was kind, knowledgable and keen to make sure we got the most out of our trip. We saw and experienced so much - Dambulla, Sigiriya and Polannaruwa - all must-sees during our time in Sri Lanka and a day we won’t forget. Thank you so much!

Fit a lot into one day - Tour was a great way to fit all three experiences into one day (though do know that it is a LONG day), so perfect for travelers who want to see it all. The sites themselves were obviously amazing! (Though be aware that the hike up Sigiriya was definitely a bit tiring in the Sri Lanka heat and humidity). Ifran was a great driver and guide. Very friendly and accommodating, he did a good job making sure we had time to see everything without feeling rushed. Definitely recommend for those who want to squeeze the maximum amount of sites in a single day. For those looking for less of a marathon, you could leave off Polonnaruwa which is a bit farther away.

An incredible day seeing three amazing places - I had an incredible day with this tour. Irfan was great and very accommodating as well as knowledgeable and friendly. I am a photographer and tend to take more time than most visiting sites so I was a little worried that trying to see three Heritage Sites at such distances would be difficult. But it was no problem at all - and Irfan’s driving was great. All three are very much worth visiting - I am so glad that I chose this particular tour. My time in Sri Lanka was limited and, thanks to this tour, I was able to see everything I had hoped to see while here.

Three sites in one memorable day - If you are short of time and want to experience three important attractions, I would definitely recommend this tour. An early start and late finish - but it's certainly worth it. Irfan was a great guide and driver, with plenty of information as we drove from site to site.
