Great all day experience with Chamara the amazing driver:)) - We had an amazing day exploring the temples and Sigiriya Rock. We were three people and booked this experience the night before and the driver was at our hotel early morning and ready to go. Our driver Chamara was super nice and did a great job making us feel comfortable in the crazy traffic haha:)) 10/10 would recommend this experience:)

My trip with Lanka Safe Tour was more than just sightseeing it was a deep dive into the rich culture of Sri Lanka - My trip with Lanka Safe Tour was more than just sightseeing it was a deep dive into the rich culture of Sri Lanka. Guided by the ever-enthusiastic Lakshan, I had the chance to explore ancient temples, bustling local markets, and serene villages, each stop offering a glimpse into the soul of this beautiful country. One of the most memorable moments was visiting a local tea plantation. We were warmly greeted by the workers, who showed us the traditional methods of tea harvesting. Tasting freshly brewed Sri Lankan tea amidst the scenic mountains was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience! Lakshan provided incredible insights into the history of the region and the significance of tea in Sri Lankan culture, which made the visit all the more special. Throughout the tour, we also had the chance to attend a traditional dance performance and sample authentic Sri Lankan cuisine. Every moment felt personal and authentic, and I left with a deep appreciation for the warmth and hospitality of the people I encountered. Lanka Safe Tour, with Lakshan at the helm, delivered an experience that was as enriching culturally as it was visually stunning. I can't recommend them highly enough for anyone looking to connect with the heart of Sri Lanka!

Comfortable and easy way to see Sigiriya - I went on this tour solo. My guide Lali was very timely and always on the lookout to make sure things were going well. His driving was very smooth, reliable, and safe. He also helped me to get into Sigiriya quickly, avoiding the exceptionally long lines since I came during a holiday period. Lali patiently waited for me at my hotel and at Sigiriya when I came out so that we did not need to look for each other. I did not have to worry about a thing during the trip and could sit back, relax, and enjoy the air conditioned drive to the sites to see! I had a great time and would recommend this to anyone in Kandy who would like to see Sigiriya and the surrounding area!

Fun and flexible tour with amazing guide. Great experiences, delicious food and a comfortable car. - I would highly recommend this trip! Our guide Lali was amazing. He explained all the places we explored and taught us some Sinhala. The car was comfortable and air conditioned for the journey from Kandy. For lunch, Lali took us to an amazing and well-priced restaurant (easily the best I have been to on a guided tour). All the activities were incredible and Lali was really helpful, telling us when to pay for guides and some places where they weren’t really necessary. If you’re looking for a day trip to Sigiriya and Dambulla, I cannot recommend this one highly enough!

Amazing tour and guide. - What an amazing day! Our tour guide Lali was fantastic, very helpful and informative and tailored the day to our requests. He took us to a wonderful place for lunch and discussed different things we could see on the journey, stopping whenever we requested. We saw a Hindu temple, Dambulla Shrine, herbal/ayurvedic gardens, the magnificent Sigiriya and then a golden Buddha shrine on the way back. We would highly recommend this tour, Lali is a great guide, with a comfortable a/c car, and a smooth and safe driver.

Amazing day tour - This day tour to sigiriya and dambulla cave was amazing. Our driver Dinesh, who we highly recommend, was so friendly and offered us lots of interesting information and facts along the way. We had such a comfortable journey with lots of space and great air conditioning. We were encouraged to spend as little or as long as we wanted everywhere we went - we were never rushed and could take our time. We got to see scenic viewpoints. It was overall a great experience and I would recommend it to anyone.
