Excellent personalised trip - above and beyond - This was an excellently curated and comfortable trip. All the places in the itinerary were covered, but you have the option to modify the trip depending on your time and preferences. Our chauffer-guide Tharuka Bandara was kind enough to get us to sample coconut, mangoes and organise a puja for us at the Matale Temple. He also helped arranged a safari to see elephants at Minneriya at a reasonable price. 10/10 highly recommended!

Best Day Exploring with Driver Dinu! - Me and my friend had the best day exploring Sigirya, Dambula, Minneriya National Park (safari). Our driver’s name was Dinu and he was the kindest and most chivalrous driver! He was always super punctual and personalised the tour to what we wanted to do. My favourite part was the Safari Jeep tour with driver Janaka (he was the best safari driver!). Taking us to the best spots and taking really awesome photos for us, he was teaching us how to pose and where to stand for the best pictures. I also enjoyed all the restaurants that Dinu took us to whenever we requested a specific food. We loved it so much we asked Dinu to be our driver the next day to explore Polonoruwa which was also fantastic! He also took us shopping as we wanted to buy some clothes and was extremely patient with us. Would highly highly recommend this tour with Dinu and the safari tour with Janaka. Thanks so much for an unforgettable experience!!

Private tour to Sigiriya and Safari! Book with him he speaks great English - We had the best experience with Janaka on our private tour. We were visiting Sri Lanka from the United States and I took a tour from Kandy to Sigiriya and the safari. We had the best time and got some amazing pictures. Our guidance spoke English very well and looked out for us at every stop. We appreciate him adding to our vacation with priceless memories. Would recommend 10/10 !

A Wonderful Guide - It was a lovely day with a very nice guide. My hotel was not in the designated place on the site and I specified a nearby hotel, but I got lost and was delayed for more than 10 minutes. I was so relieved when I arrived, giving up my phone call because I was traveling and I thought I would be gone. He was really amazing, he was very accommodating with the air conditioner when he saw me in the heat with so many lost people, and he pulled me over to take pictures easily when there were nice views along the way!

Janaka: Transforming the ordinary to Extraordinary :) - Making this trip with Janaka was most certainly our Lanka highlight. We were aware this was going to be one long day trip but Janaka made every moment of it light, enjoyable and beautiful. He is warm and friendly, full of local anecdotes and tips. He remained energetic and friendly till the moment he dropped us off and we are grateful to him for cajoling us into pulling off the last leg of our tour despite us being a little tired by then. The sights were amazing; a local South Indian temple, the view from Sigiriya top, the close proximity wild elephants and the gorgeous cave temple to name a few. Not to mention the sumptuous local lunch we had. Thanks Janaka for making this a great memorable day!

Excellent trip - It was a truly wonderful experience. He took us to famous places, of course, but also places we would never have gone to on our own, which was very inspiring! He also introduced us to some recommended jewelry stores, which allowed us to do some great shopping! I'd definitely like to have him as my guide again when I visit Sri Lanka again.

Cannot recommend it highly enough! - We had a wonderful day out, visiting Dambulla, Sigiriya, and (on our request) Polonnaruwa. Our guide went out of his way to deliver the best experience possible, with both his excellent knowledge of the sites we were visiting, and his considering attitude and friendly manner! Last but not the least, when I realised I had been clumsy enough to leave some personal belonging behind in his car, he immediately offered to bring it back to me the next morning before we were due to leave Kandy. I cannot have found a better guide for this tour - friendly yet professional, and very accommodating with our requests. I'll definitely contact you again when I return to Sri Lanka! Thanks again for our amazing day!
