Loved it!
What an amazing trip! I was very happy and satisfied with the service provided by driver Lali. He gave me options of places to visit, and we followed exactly the itinerary I preferred. He also made sure that I was safe as I traveled alone. Lali was really nice and a friendly person to talk to. This tour exceeded my expectations, and I couldn’t ask for more – well worth it and I recommend it to anyone.

Sigiriya was amazing. ...
Sigiriya was amazing. Definitely would recommend anyone visiting Sri Lanka to go and climb the rock. This was first time booking with Viator and my driver (Vidu) was fantastic.

Amazing experience, best sigiriya tour
The whole tour was fantastic. The village part of the tour included a small cooking lesson where I learned how to make sambal. Sigiriya rock was breathtaking. If you can go during the beginning of the week it’s worth it because it’s not crowded.
