Hand down, the BEST. - The experience of the tour exactly or more than exactly matched my expectations. Honestly, I don't think anyone can get this kind of experience and comfort in Sri Lanka for this price, and the professionalism and humbleness was hand down the best. The staff was incredibly friendly and informative about everything. The time spent at each location was perfect. The environment was delightful and nothing to worry at all.

Long day but worth it - We just had a private trip with Asanga today, highly recommend him, he was a great driver if you know Sri Lanka’s traffic. Clean car, he gave us 2 big water bottles. We felt safe, he was not rushing and he catered to our needs esp. finding wash rooms. He took photos of us and gave us printed pics placed in a frame, so kind. It was a very long day coming from and to Colombo, we got back in the hotel around 10:30pm. We even skipped visiting the inside of the Cave Rock Temple as it was raining, the ground was wet and we didn’t want to remove our shoes. Also best to wear comfortable old shoes that can get dirty. The Sigiriya “Lion Rock” was a tasking climb not for the faint hearted, still worth it on the top with the amazing jungle view. It started drizzling as we descended, the stone steps can get slippery. The safari ride was also fun, we got to see up close elephant herd, it really depends on the day whether they are around or not. We skipped elephant ride and herbal tea factory. No tour guide in this trip, mainly to provide transport and attention to your needs like talking to locals, finding food and washroom breaks. Thank you Asanga for making our first trip safe and memorable.
