We spent a wonderful day wirh Diyath, he was a qualified guide who was able to tell and inform us a lot each step of the tour. We went to Sigyria and Dambulla, and stopped quickly at Golden Temple too. He was of great company and skilled driver! If you want to add Minneriya that is possible, pick up is then at 6 am instead of 8. This is the tour they proposed: https://srilankabycar.com/Sigiriya-Dambulla-day-trip-from-Kandy.html
