Unforgettable Day Tour of Sri Lanka - I recently booked a trip through JK Travels and couldn’t be happier with the service. Everything from the transportation to the hotel arrangements was smooth and well-organized. They were responsive to all my questions before and during the trip, and it really felt like they cared about making the experience stress-free. The itinerary was perfectly paced, and I got to see and do everything I had hoped for. I’ll definitely be using them again for my next adventure!

Awesome Tour! Great destination - Sigiriya trip was one of the best decisions we did here. shanesh the tour guide did his best to make the trip comfortable and easy for us. He always looked after to make sure everything was going well. He encouraged us for climbing to the sigiriya rock which was very interesting. we have seen cave Temple and had a safari in National Park and saw many elephants in natural habitat and then had very authentic srilankan lunch at a local restaurant.it was awesome from start to end everything was well organised and strongly recommend for everyone

Absolutely a must to visit. - I booked the Dambulla / Sigiriya trip / National park safari from Colombo. Although it was a day filling experience we felt rewarded. Shanesh navigsted us professionally trough the Sri Lankan traffic chaos, and it was a day we will never forget. Absolutely a must to visit.

Great experience that I highly recommend - What a great tour! We started early in the morning, but it was definitely worth it. I got the chance to visit some of the most spectacular sites in Sri Lanka in just one day. I was lucky enough to see a herd of elephants up close - they were so magnificent! Special thanks to the driver, Madu. His driving skills were impressive!

Long day, but worth every minute! - Very long day, which lasted even longer than the 12 hours advertised, due to strong rain and heavy traffic all the way back. The sites visited and the experience overall were amazing, and despite it seems a lot in one day is fun and worth! The only unexpected stop (which made us loose time) was a visit to a local medical herbs center (the driver just took us there), where we got surprised with two locals giving an oily massage to both me and my wife. Not planned, made us oily for the rest of the day, and I had to tip of course the two massagers... it was the only downside note out of an exciting day!

It is a trustworthy and good service company. - We were scheduled to meet at 7:30 in the morning at a hotel in Colombo, but we arrived for about 45 minutes. Apparently, he went to a similar hotel. During that time I felt quite anxious and contacted the tour company, who immediately explained the situation to me. Being able to get in touch when something goes wrong is one of the evaluation points. The driver always cared about me and was quite amiable. Are you hungry, is the toilet OK, etc. ・Minnelia National Park It starts at 11:45. Elephants can definitely meet. I could see them, but only the basic elephants. The second half gets boring, but even though it's a national park, it's exciting to see elephants close to the wild in person. If you reach out your hand, you can see it close enough to touch the statue. ・Lunchtime GOGO cafe. It's a mystery that you can't use dollars to pay even though the menu table is written with a $. Plus, I can't use my card. I ordered beef cottu, but I realized again that I shouldn't expect beef other than Japanese food. I can't chew enough to surprise you. Well, it's in a very different state of preservation due to the difference in hygiene. This can't be helped. Pineapple juice is not delicious. It wasn't cold and somehow tasted like radish. I don't know if it's the low level of Sri Lankan food or the low level of this restaurant. You might want to order pasta or something safe here. ・Sigilia Rock Start at 15:50. It's pretty hard. I came back in an hour and a half and it was pretty tough. I think it's amazing when you look at the big picture from a distance, but it's normal up close. I think it's pretty hard for people to be afraid of heights. But you might think if you can get to the top. Dambulla Caves  Start at 17:50. It's hard to think that you'll have to climb the stairs here again after a tough time at Sigiriya Rock. But it's worth seeing. 18:30 We arrive on the way home. I think everyone has different tastes in the content of the tour, but using this tour to get to your destination would be a wise decision. Everywhere has bad access to traffic, so it would take a hell of a lot of effort to get there on your own. The outside air is over 30 degrees, which is quite exhausting, so it's a good idea to take some time to rest in the car.
