Unforgettable private tour - I just want to thank the tour operator and my driver Asanga for doing the tour yesterday even though I was the only customer. Usually other operators would cancel but you guys stuck it out. The tour was great too, the operator suggested some custom changes to make it more exciting and diverse.

An easy way to visit Polonnaruwa, at a fair price - The team were very easy to deal with and the driver and guide prompt, professional and friendly. As a bonus, we went to a genuine village restaurant on the way back and had our best meal in Sri Lanka!

Great day experiencing Sigiriya and Colombo - Excellent day, very accommodating guide. Looked after us so well. Great day experiencing the culture. Would do it again.

What a wonderful tour. - What a wondeeful trip. The day was amazing, and not only that, the places we visited was also perfect. This tour would fit anyone's needs and also very flexible. This tour was wonderful, and jk travels covered all our needs.

Trip to Sigiriyia - Wonderful trip to Sigiriya and Dambulla. Wasa was an accommodating driver and gave useful information about our trip. I would recommend to anyone visiting Sri Lanka although it is a long day!

Wonderful day trip - Fulfilled day. The ride to the cave Monastery was long, but my driver was a good conversationalist. The caves were well worth the drive. My driver arrange a tuktuk to take me to sites around the lion head mountain. Too old to climb. We'll worth every penny.

Day trip to Dambula, Sigiriya and Polonnaruwa - Excellent trip to see three of Sri Lanka’s gems in one day: Dambula, Sigiriya and Polonnaruwa. We travelled by private car, and the driver was very correct at all times. Maybe the journey should start sooner, give9 that in the end is many hours by car.

Best Conversation and Guidance from Mr. Wasa. Best ever - As everyone noted this is a long day and that is for sure the correct advice. It was a long day, but Mr. Wasa who was our driver made it enjoyable. He knew where to stop for breaks and very clean restaurants rooms!! That’s a plus. He explained different sites along the way, which was amazing!!!! Now let’s talk about Dambulla, the Buddha temple!! This will cost you $3000 RS per person, no credit card for the temple. If you are in shape or not it’s a lot of steps up to the top. I had to take a break a few times along the way up. When you get about half way up, you will run into a group offering you flowers and it’s not free, you will have to give them something so have change not large bills. Now at the top you have to remove your shoes and either walk barefoot or with socks on. Also to store your shoes they want a money as well so remember to have small bills or change. While up there you have vendors trying to sell you items be prepared and say no thank you or buy. Ladies wear long pants, if not you will have to buy the sorong to cover your legs if wearing shorts. Now the fun time begins because you will be approached by a few people who will ask you if you a need a guide on the temple tour. Say no thank you because again they will want money!!!! Now exiting the temple the stairs are not even, so be extra careful and hold on to the ledge or rails. Now on to Sigiriya, you can pay by credit card and it’s $35.00 dollars if, I said if you are climbing the mountain via steps is 3 times that of the Dambulla temple!!! Be prepared and ready for the workout. Also note if you are seeing the park and just want to take pictures of the mountain you don’t have to pay the $35.00. So while in the park the mountain is about half a mile or more once you enter. The same people going up will also be coming down the same stairs so it takes about 1 hour. Remember if you’re not climbing it isn’t $35.00. The same approach as the temple, you will have people approaching you to be a guide or get great views via a Tuk Tuk driver who will take you to several spots to get great views of the mountain and take you around to other sites in the same area. Be aware that these guys have other areas to stop off such as a herbalist spot where you as a tourist can say yes or no to buy herbal healthy ingredients and you get a a massage with herbal ingredients from your head to your back. Not free you gotta give them something. Lastly, on why I give this tour 4/5, it is such a long day after driving for 4 hours and spending several hours at Dambulla and Sigiriya you are ready to go back to the hotel. The last site Polonnaruwa is 2 hours away from Sigiriya and if you are staying in Colombo, that’s a 6 hour drive back through all the Tuk Tuk and scooters. Getting back would have been 11:00 pm. I opted out of that site. I have to give Mr. Wasa all the patience and credit for getting us back to Colombo safely!! If you need a driver he is the driver to have!! I will give him 5/5 stars for driving and the conversation. Please give this hard working man a raise!!!! The tour is an experience and a must see but be prepared for an extremely long, long, day!! Bring snacks, plenty of water or ask your driver to stop if you want anything else. Another tip If you do get a chance and stop at the Gem shop be prepared to spend money your choice!!

Very good trip but a couple of things could be improved - Very good trip and great places to visit but it was a lot to get done in one day, so one of the sites was a quick visit only. Given we spent a long time driving, I was unhappy that the audio system in the car did not work for either radio or Bluetooth connection. The driver said he had reported it the day before so this should have been fixed or a different car used. Had I known I could have taken headphones or my own Bluetooth speaker. The driver was diligent and mostly did his best to do a good job. However, he spent a lot of time on his mobile phone while driving. This is unsafe and not acceptable, particularly as it was hand held.

Lots of travel and a total rush. - This is not possible as a 11-13 hour trip as advertised. To do what is stated would need around 17 hours! I
