Sigiriya & Dambulla Day Tour - My wife and I took a tour to Sigiriya rock and the Dambulla cave temples with Lasantha. Our pick up time from Kandy was flexible and our drive was very smooth. Lasantha is a man that clearly enjoys bringjng tourists around to see the main attractions. It is also hard to beat his prices.

Wonderful day - Having read Lasantha’s reviews, I knew what to expect: he is more of a driver than a guide; and I expected to pay for his lunch. He is also charming, lovely company and wonderfully easy to get on with. The tour was stunning and I had a marvellous day. Thank you!

More than satisfied - The tour checks all the boxes for a satisfactory experience. On time, knowledgable and friendly . He was kind enough to go extra mile adding more destinations than described, advices to not get scammed or injured, patient enough to wait if extended the duration at a location. Overall, you can choose this tour and you will not be disappointed.

Perfect day trip with stunning locations! - We had the perfect day with Lasantha! He picked us up from our hotel right on time and even had some packed breakfast for us. We saw the Lions Rock, Danbulla temple and visited the center point of Sri Lanka, a spice garden and a local hindu temple. Lasantha gave us many options on what to do and where to go + took us there. We also had a delicious Sri Lankan buffet lunch. The tour was definitely 10/10, would recommend this for anyone visiting Sri Lanka!

A great value trip with a gentleman driver - We had a great day trip from Kandy visiting temples and a spice garden in Matale, the centre of Sri Lanka and Sigiraya and Dambulla caves. The tour included a packed breakfast and we later stopped for lunch at an affordable and good quality buffet. Overall it was a great value trip at about 11 hours long. Lasantha is a gentleman and was a pleasure to talk to throughout the day. We would highly recommend this tour!
