What people are saying about Dambulla
Overall rating
The guide and the driver always fulfilled our wishes. We didn't want to see any temples, but that wasn't a problem. They then changed the program for us so that it suited us. They always took our wishes into account, whether it was the supermarket, having lunch or feeding the monkeys. We also really wanted to send a postcard to our family, they organized everything (from buying postcards to sending the cards). In the evening we wanted to explore the village, so the guide came especially and picked us up and showed us the village. They made everything possible. The guide also looked after us very well so that we didn't get ripped off (because of money). The hotels were all very nice, the food was very good in every hotel. The guides always asked if everything was okay. The guide agreed an individual time with you when they should pick you up. There were no problems with picking us up from our hotel before the tour either.
This tour was really great and I can recommend it to anyone who is in Sri Lanka. Mr. Indika was very experienced and accompanied me through the day with great stories and funny jokes. Since he completely catered to my individual wishes, no wish was left unfulfilled and my expectations were exceeded. The end in Minneriya National Park with a sighting of elephants was the best way to end the tour.
We did the Sigiriya to Kandy tour and thought it was absolutely brilliant! The guide went above and beyond to make sure we got the best out of our trip. He was punctual, very knowledgeable and we didn’t feel rushed at the different stops. We have already booked another tour through this company due to the amazing service and would definitely recommend 10/10.
We joined the tour from Japan. The driver spoke good Japanese and enjoyed various activities. He also arranged time for shopping, meals, toilets, etc. according to our schedule. The tuk-tuk driving was great, the conversation was fun, and it was a great day! My friends are the best!!!
Everything was great, the guide takes care of taking you to the best places. We saw many elegant ones. 100% recommendable.
