Great driver Lal

We had a very pleasant and nice driver Lal. He was very kind, took us to places agreed on the itinerary and offered useful guidance. Many tours have very pushy drivers who want to take you to tourist traps, but Lal was not like that which we highly appreciated. I really recommend this experience as it was reliable and full of once in a lifetime sights.

Amazing Views!!!

Communication from the team was very professional and kept me updated on everything i needed to know leading up to the day. Big thanks especially to my driver for the day Fazeel who went above and beyond for me that i ended up booking another day with him to explore more of what sri lanka had to offer around Kandy all the way to Nuwara Eliya. Just remember that at each site you go to is not a guided tour from your driver but along the way, they provide some good history of the country. I prefer this anyways, i can do my own thing but there are some guides at the gates if you prefer for Sigiriya and Dambulla. Just remember to have long pants and cover your shoulders at Dambulla. Also you can rent a sarong at the very top of Dambulla, don’t get fooled into buying one while walking up towards the temple. Highly recommend this company. Thanks legends :)

Good private tour to Pidurangala Rock, Sigiriya Rock and Dambulla Cave Temple

On the tour we first visited Pidurangala Rock, then Sigiriya Rock and finally the Dambulla Cave Temple. The driver Fazeel took very good care of everything and gave us a lot of interesting information.

Amazing tour with amazing driver Fazeel

Fazeel was the best guide and showed us so many things along our journey - he also showed us great spots to stop for juice and coconuts on the way too! The tour was excellent and it was great to get to know Fazeel and learn more about Sri Lanka, I would absolutely recommend him and this tour to anyone!
