We thought the caves at Dambulla were the highlight. We had no intention of climbing the rock and were horrified that it was 4,500LKR entry fee AUD45 just to get in! Our guide took us to all the vantage points for photos and was very obliging.

As mentioned in other reviews, this is more of a private driver than a tour (i.e you are left to explore Sigiriya on your own), but great nonetheless. We also didn't get to see Dambulla either for some reason, I believe we may have ran out of time. Buffet lunch is great full of plenty of options...
As mentioned in other reviews, this is more of a private driver than a tour (i.e you are left to explore Sigiriya on your own), but great nonetheless. We also didn't get to see Dambulla either for some reason, I believe we may have ran out of time. Buffet lunch is great full of plenty of options, if not pricey compared to more local restaurants. Sigiriya is $30 pp and they don't accept card, so many sure you have plenty of cash with you.We climbed the Lion Rock and visited Dambullah with Diyath. He was punctual with a comfortable car and a good guide with lot of information. The view and the historic places are a must see in Sri Lanka.

Would recommend!

We booked this trip before arriving in Sri Lanka. Diyath our driver and guide arrived on time and from there the whole trip was amazing. Diyath guided us the whole day telling us detail about both places that only local knowledge can provide. Both Sigirya and Dambulla are very special and must visit if you come to Sri Lanka. I would 100% recommend the trip, the company and Diyath.A fun filled, action packed day. Diyath was an awesome tour guide. A great driver, knowledgeable, super nice guy, he even carried my bag for me, & made sure I had enough water. I would highly recommend.
