Worth it - Great trip. This was the only one I saw that offered both the sites (Dambulla,Sigiriya) and elephants (safari). It is a packed day with many hours in the car but we were able to hustle and do all 3. No leisure time but well worth it to be able to do it all. The hike to the top of the sigiriya mountain is a bit more than 30 mins if you push it (think climbing (think climbing an 80 story stairwell). We were luck to see a heard of 20 or so elephants reasonably quickly. Both were fantastic. If you are concerned about time the Dambulla cave was the one I would drop to spend more time at sigiriya. I was a solo traveller. I was paired up with one other traveller ( English speaker.) Tour operator was very good. Good communication on whatsapp and accommodating to last minute booking. Note that the prices for the entries do pile up. Much more than the tour. But worth it to me

AMAZING EXPERIENCE! - AMAZING EXPERIENCE! Viran was such an amazing driver, very kind, and the experience was gorgeous! The food was delicious, the safari was a once in a lifetime experience, and Sigiriya is a must-do if visiting Sri Lanka. The management was there for any queries, and always interested if we were having a good time. I am 100% satisfied, and I totally recommend booking this tour.

The tour itself was... - The tour itself was great, but the safari tour was a complete scam. I had to pay an equivalent of 94 USD (29,000 rupees) to have less than 1h30 of safari tour whereas it was: - low season, - the prices of the park were between 50 to 60 USD (prices included all fees + jeep rental with driver + pick-up at any location), - the tour should have lasted 3 hours for the price stated above. Nothing was justified for the extra fees here. So unfortunately, it was not part of an honest and respectful organization.
