A fabulous trip to Dabulla/Sigiriya - We really wanted to visit the Sigiriya lion rock and we are so glad that we had Irfan with us. Would highly recommend this day tour for anyone who wants to see more outside the big cities. Irfan made this a very memorable trip for us starting with the pick up at our accomodation and he was driving around Dambulla and Sigiriya and always checking on us ensuring that we have the most great time. Irfan is a very experienced, friendly local guide, and we were very fortunate to have him showing the Sri Lankan temples, food and nature!

Day trip to Sigiriya and Dambulla - Irfan was a great tour guide- I appreciated that he asked for feedback throughout the day, and would change the tour according to what we wanted. He was polite, knowledgeable, friendly and easy to understand. He even got us some surprise treats which was lovely. Our highlights were climbing sigiriya and also eating local fruit- I would highly recommend taking this tour :)

The extra mile <3 - They go the extra mile for their customers! Quit literally they helped me retrieve a lost item without asking anything in return. If you are looking for a trustworthy tour company with the heart in the right place, go for this one!

Sigiriya day tour - Mr Irfan was a great tour guide, he picked me up promptly at the start and very quickly made me feel comfortable about the itinerary for the day by explaining everything very clearly. We stopped off at a great place for breakfast were we could have a traditional Sri Lankan spread the roti and daal were a particular favourite of mine. He continued to point out interesting landmarks along the way including rice fields and mango farms we even made a stop off at a fruit stand where we were able to try some fresh mangos. Our final stop was Sigiriya which was really spectacular the view from the stop was breathtaking as you could see lots of vegetation for miles and miles. The total tour was about 8 hours including visiting two temples, the car was really comfortable during the journey and Mr Irfan continued to make sure I was ok during the tour by offering as many breaks as needed. I would definitely recommend using this company and Mr Irfan for any of your tours in the future.

Wonderful day - Beautiful views: the Lion Fortress is truly impressive, as are the Dambulla caves. Plus we had a really great driver: thank you, Mr.Silmi. The company was thoroughly professional and managed everything very well.

Irfan is the goat - Don’t even know where to begin with, the trip was hands down one of the most incredible day tours I’ve ever done. Our driver Irfan went above and beyond, constantly getting us food and water, offering to take pics, adding additional activities to our itinerary. Irfan was the reason why we enjoyed the day tour so much! The village tour was the highlight, so so good :) Thanks again to Irfan for showing us a great time and taking a good care of us all day

Great first day in Sri Lanka! - My husband and I had a great time traveling around with our driver, Irfan. We speak English only and he was able to communicate very well and helped us meet many locals. He shared many stories about Sri Lanka, and showed us interesting places. We learned so much! His driving is also very safe and the vehicle was clean and air conditioned.

Amazing day trip to Dambulla and Sigiriya - Irfan was our driver and he did an amazing job. He was very professional and effectively navigated through the craziness of Sri Lankan roads. The stop in Dambulla and Sigiriya was very memorable and the surprise mangoes were unbelievably tasty!
