Our driver very, Shammi was a very good driver and gave us useful information throughout our journey. It was the start of the full moon festival for Buddhists so was very busy but a beautiful cultural experience to witness. The village tour was fabulous, the guide there made it very special by making a necklace, flower bouquet and and hat from water lilies whilst we were on the boat. The lady was excellent and showing us how some of the food was made. We had a plentiful and tasty lunch. My favourite was Dambulla rock temple, the statutes and paintings are so beautiful. Thank you to the tour company and all involved, we loved it

Super recommended ! Right after booking, got an email from the local tour company and confirmed the pickup time etc. which was very convenient. We also went to Sigiriya village and took various kinds of transportation there, like cow carriage and boat, tuktuk. Tasted local foods as lunch and boat rider gave us hand crafted gift made by lotus flower. After that we went to some local shops like spice garden and gem museum. For the last spot, we visited the Dambulla cape temple which was very holy place. We really had so great time and worth the money for 100% !! Super super recommended.
