Nice trip with a good English speaking guide. We saw a lot but also a lot that was not described on the trip we what booked. When you arrive at Sigiryia Rock you have to pay for a ticket and the same thing you have to do if you go on an elephant safari in the area, so you just have to be aware of this. So what you pay for is basically a drive there. We did not get to see the temple in Dambula which was otherwise something we had been looking forward to the most.

L’esperienza include solo il trasporto ai siti, I biglietti dell’entrata si pagano, abbiamo avuto un conducente e accompagnatore ci ha dato alcune informazioni sui siti da visitare, aspettatevi di essere portati da venditori di souvenir. Nel complesso comunque è stata una buona esperienza e la rifarei tranquillamente!

The tour was excellent. I liked a lot the hotel in Sigirya and in Colombo. Keerthe, the driver, was very nice, respectful and always on time.
