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.
