Great day trip to Sigiriya, Dambulla and Polonnaruwa - The excursion turned out just as we had hoped. Although we knew it would be a long day, we requested a driver to take us to Sigiriya, Dambulla, and Polonnaruwa. He showed up right on time at our hotel and took us in a private car to the various locations. Although we did not want guide services, the driver showed us where to get tickets, etc. and always checked in to see if we had any needs (food, drinks, site guides, etc.). He was friendly and a skilled driver. And the cost was very reasonable. Would absolutely recommend to a friend!

Great day out - Arranged at the last.minute, very efficient and easy to do and fair price. Driver was early so we could get a slightly head start, Fazeel was very knowledgeable about Sri Lanka and very friendly. It made the day very interesting. Did a trip to the spice harden, then into Polonnawura where we did some sightseeing and cycling. Great spot for lunch over Looking the rice fields, then a stop off in Dambulla. It.was a long day (7am to 8pm) but really enjoyable Thank you Fazeel and Dinesh !!
