A must do tour ! - It was amazing day excursion with shanesh. we started at 7.30 am and first destination was safari tour. I would say this was one of the best tours had in sri lanka. Sigiriya climbing was bit challenging but really worth visiting there. shanesh was really kind and safe driver and very knowledgeable person. really amazing with full of activities.

Would Definitely Recommend It! - We recently went on a holiday tour with Jk Travels, and we had the best time possible. We were picked up at the hotel in time, and everything was perfect and was a top-notch experience. We started at the National Park Tour, and after we did that we went to Sigiriya also know as the Lion's Rock, after we did that we went to our last destination and that was the Dambulla Cave. Overall, I would definitely recommend it.

Safe and Reliable - We had an excellent experience with JK Travels & Tours! They are a legitimate and trustworthy tour agency, perfect for traveling with family. We originally booked a one-day tour but had to cancel at the last minute due to our child's sudden illness. Their generosity and understanding were remarkable—they immediately offered us another trip and even followed up to check if we needed any local assistance. The tour itself was fantastic! We visited all the proposed destinations, and our driver was reliable, ensuring a safe and smooth ride, even with our 1-year-old in the car. Overall, we truly appreciate their professionalism and kindness. Highly recommended!

It is a trustworthy and good service company. - We were scheduled to meet at 7:30 in the morning at a hotel in Colombo, but we arrived for about 45 minutes. Apparently, he went to a similar hotel. During that time I felt quite anxious and contacted the tour company, who immediately explained the situation to me. Being able to get in touch when something goes wrong is one of the evaluation points. The driver always cared about me and was quite amiable. Are you hungry, is the toilet OK, etc. ・Minnelia National Park It starts at 11:45. Elephants can definitely meet. I could see them, but only the basic elephants. The second half gets boring, but even though it's a national park, it's exciting to see elephants close to the wild in person. If you reach out your hand, you can see it close enough to touch the statue. ・Lunchtime GOGO cafe. It's a mystery that you can't use dollars to pay even though the menu table is written with a $. Plus, I can't use my card. I ordered beef cottu, but I realized again that I shouldn't expect beef other than Japanese food. I can't chew enough to surprise you. Well, it's in a very different state of preservation due to the difference in hygiene. This can't be helped. Pineapple juice is not delicious. It wasn't cold and somehow tasted like radish. I don't know if it's the low level of Sri Lankan food or the low level of this restaurant. You might want to order pasta or something safe here. ・Sigilia Rock Start at 15:50. It's pretty hard. I came back in an hour and a half and it was pretty tough. I think it's amazing when you look at the big picture from a distance, but it's normal up close. I think it's pretty hard for people to be afraid of heights. But you might think if you can get to the top. Dambulla Caves  Start at 17:50. It's hard to think that you'll have to climb the stairs here again after a tough time at Sigiriya Rock. But it's worth seeing. 18:30 We arrive on the way home. I think everyone has different tastes in the content of the tour, but using this tour to get to your destination would be a wise decision. Everywhere has bad access to traffic, so it would take a hell of a lot of effort to get there on your own. The outside air is over 30 degrees, which is quite exhausting, so it's a good idea to take some time to rest in the car.

Wild elephants, Sigiria, Dambulla Budhist temples - Private day trip. The communication with Janaka before the trip was excellent. Also the driver was professional and helping we to buy tickets and giving a quick briefing about the sight. I have visited 3 places and 2 visits are without any remarks -Dambulla temples and Sigiria. BUT I have make a remark on safari trip. The trip provider states that the Minneriya Natinal Park is part of the day trip. This is not true- I paid 28000 rupies to some person ,who provided a jeep with driver and I was taken to Hurulu Eco Park (not a national park). The entry to Hurulu seems to be for free,as I did not see/get any official ticket and this forest is next to main road. I have seen wild elehants. So the trip provider should be more explicit on the destinations (no safari in national park). If you want to go to the National Park safari,you need to arrange tickets by yourself.
