We truly enjoyed our day trip from Kandy and especially the hike to the rock right in front of famous Sigiriya. The view was amazing and it was also much cheaper than the entrance fee to Sigiriya itself. The car trip was super nice as well, we did lots of stops near the temples and fruit stands. Air conditioner worked perfectly and special thanks to our guide Ilham Rameez for safe and comfort drive.Irfan was excellent. He arrived at the hotel very sharply at 7:45, 15 minutes prior to the pick up time to ensure he wasn’t late In the morning traffic. He then drove very safely and took us to several attractions. Would 100% recommend Irfan as an excellent host.
