Sigiriya trip, well worth it, more than just a rock - Irfan was very polite and knowledgeable. He kept the car nice and cool with aircon which was very much needed after the Sigiriya steps. Beautiful views from the top. Irfan spotted a wild elephant en route which was a highlight. Highly recommend the trip and Irfan as the guide.

Sigiriya, Dambulla and the Hindu temple at Matale - Our visits to Sigiriya, Dambulla and the Hindu temple at Matale, were exceptional. Our driver Irfan, made sure our day was full of adventure whilst making sure we were safe and comfortable. His driving skills, English and local knowledge helped us experience all the day had to offer. While at the Hindu temple we were offered fruit and welcomed by everyone there, including local devotees. The Dambulla caves gave insight into the Buddhist history and making our way to the top of Sigiriya rock was a highlight of our 3 weeks in Sri Lanka. Thanks so much Irfan for sharing your knowledge and making us feel welcome.

A perfect day tour with a lot to see - We had a fantastic day with Irfan!
We visited a beautiful Hindu temple in Matale, an interesting herbal garden with massage, impressive Dambulla cave temple and the majestic Sigiriya lion rock. We saw great nature and many animals.
Irfan took good care of us and told us so many interesting things about Sri Lanka. His English is excellent and he is a good driver. We felt safe with him driving. Irfan also gave us extra help with train tickets and gave us tips what else to do in Sri Lanka.
This tour was even better than we expected!

Rly good job Irfam - So our tour guide and chauffeur Irfam took us to the ,,goverments garden" where we sow Sri Lanka spices and plants, and we lerned about them, rly nice place when you can try carry chips and lokal massage. Thay also have shop with lokal products quiet expensive but worth to visit. Than we go to the Dambula royal cave temple, after few step you can see rly nice view and 5 caves with Budda statues. Last stop was Sigiria mount with old pałace. 35 dolars ticket is expensive for forginers tourists and cost almost nothing for local people. Palace are ruins but point of view are incredible. While we back to Kandy we sow water Buffalos, peacoks, and Ifram took us to lokal shop when we eat best mango in my live. Thank you Irfam you ware awsome.

BEST TRIP IN SRI LANKA! - Irfan picked us up at 8am as promised in his new car which was very comfortable, clean and cold air con on a hot day. We stopped for some Sri lankan snacks on our way north which were amazing. Everywhere we stopped along the way, he would help us and explain exactly what we should do to get the best experience. He even had a few surprises for us which made for an amazing tour. He said in the morning that he would make our day "Unforgetable" and he was right! Thank you brother for the best day!

Highly recommend!, great experience from start to finish - I had a fabulous time on my day trip to Sigiriya from Kandy thanks to this experience! I had Mr. Sharmin as my driver/guide, and he helped out in teaching everything that I wanted to know about Sri Lanka, including the culture and the different wildlife we've spotted on our way to our destinations. Visiting Sigiriya is a must for any Sri Lanka visit, and coming from Kandy, it was a smooth experience from start to end. Highly recommend!

Highly recommend!! - We had an incredible experience with Riz as our guide during our trip to Sri Lanka! He was not only an excellent driver but also very knowledgeable about the country’s culture, history, and hidden gems. Riz made us feel comfortable throughout the journey, always going the extra mile to ensure we had a memorable time. His friendly and warm personality made the trip even more enjoyable. If you're looking for a reliable and friendly guide in Sri Lanka, we highly recommend Riz!

Great Tour with Mr Irfan - We had an amazing tour with Mr. Irfan, who guided us through Sigiriya and Dambulla. His English was great, and he shared fascinating details about Sri Lankan culture, food, and wildlife.
He was very flexible, taking us to various temples and local spots, and letting us explore at our own pace. I highly recommend Mr. Irfan for anyone wanting a deeper experience of Sri Lanka.
