Terrible scary experience Whats happening to Viator with these terrible tour companies, aren't they doing audits on the way the conduct business. Never go on this tour please. On the way to Sigirya the tour operator send me a message saying that it wasn't possible to go up the rock fortress because of a wasp attack. We went to another rock in front of Sigirya where we could see people going up Sigirya. Obviously they did this because they saved the entrance fees to Sigirya which was US45 each. I paid US 540 which should cover everything. After they offer me a side safari tour for US180 which I accepted on the condition that we have time for the dambulla caves. I asked if they had many animals and the tour guide assured me that yes. So we went on the safari and after 45 minutes we see 2 elephants and one more five minutes after. It was boring to be there so we asked the safari driver to exit and take us to the tour car to go to dambulla caves cause it was late. I told the tour guide why he said a lot of animals and we only saw three elephants and he proceeded to say it was cause it was late in the afternoon and animals are resting. We got to dambulla at 7 pm and it was closed so we also missed it. The car we went was a little mini minivan really uncomfortable for a 15 hour day. The driver was texting and talking on the phone dangerously. How could they do these to visitors. I am going to ask for my money back for these rip-off. We lost a lot of time because on the way over they took us to a herb garden where they get commission and the guide told us we would get free massage but at the end they charged us 10.000 rupees for them. The driver guide kept harassing me after the tour through WhatsApp asking for money sending pictures of my family and threatening messages which he later deleted. The lunch supposedly was included in a restaurant but they took us to a crappy village place. Terrible
Dear Sir, Please be fair enough and not to potrait like every mistakes are from our side by the way we apologize for the things happened and you should also know that there is no mistakes from our side, Before a month of your tour date we sent you an itinerary including sigiriya and dambulla with some additional stops. As a tour operator our job is to show you all the new places and give the experience for you but we never forced you we sent and said that if you like any of these you can choose or else can skip it but you agreed for everything as covering these in a day is a plus for you rather than spending two times for the tours. For your clarification, there are good side and also bad side in Spice Garden as many tourists knows and we really dont know what happens inside if they force you then you could have let us know but you purchased stuffs for you and your family while your card was not working to satisfy you we paid and said you to pay us once your back in colombo we usually help our customers like this because we know they are here to enjoy and we shouldn't break them. We ensure regarding our customers safety so that we get updates on each places visiting before reaching and thus we got a news of wasp attack in Sigiriya so to make you safety we already said you we will refund your entrance fees money and then took you for Piudrangala Rock to see a breath taking view of Sigiriya Rock yet you saw people upstairs who got stuck and you thought they are climbing up but you never asked us and also the Safari you agreed also you should know that we can't bring animals infront of you as its a wildlife safari so it is luck by chance to spot animals even though you spotted few animals you are not in a mind to pay for that too we did paid for the wildlife and jeep cost after you said and agreed to pay everything once back in Colombo We already explained you that if you go on Safari you will miss Dambulla Cave Temple and you agreed but you wanted to visit both which is impossible with the timing and yet you blame us for everything seems unfair Once back to colombo you stayed quite until we reach the hotel and then you started yelling at us to skip the money which you owe us after taking all the experience in one day we really felt dissapointing as we have never met a customer who enjoy everything without paying a single penny also please note we have mentioned the lunch will be in a local traditional restaurant and the restaurant we took is a Village Restaurant which we give our customersa truly village local experience and everyone have loved it but you are the first person who didn't even like that we really feel bad and sorry for eveything We have also refunded your tour payment and also we got nothing for the experience you took so its a huge loss for us We feel very bad for this review where you have to put the blame on us and make our company reputation worst but we are hoping you get pay first for every tour using with other companies where they should also face this circumstance Best Regards
We really enjoyed the Sigiriya and Dambulla full day tour with our kind and professional guide Aswer. Perfect service, good driving and he shared a lot of knowledge about the area and the stops we did. Highly recommended!

At the base are guides wanting payment to assist you with the climb. Going rate was US$25pp without negotiation. If you are fit and capable to do lots of stairs you do not need a guide as the path is easy to follow. As an older couple we stopped several times to catch our breath. There are a lot of stairs. Great experience and recommended

There was no professional guide attached to us and only a driver that was constantly on the phone and at times he even attempted to retrieve his phone that dropped onto the carpet! The places listed was not doable at all despite paying for it. Totally will not recommend
An amazing experience! Honestly had the best day ever and our whole day was planned for us. Nishantha made our trip extra special and was a highlight for us. He is the best jungle man ever, super friendly and made us laugh all day long. My friend was really poorly towards the end of the trip and he went above and beyond to look after her which was so so lovely. Overall an amazing experience and would highly recommend!

We took one day tour from Colombo. Driver was very flexible to our request and helped a lot to arrange the guide at Sigiriya rock as well. The manager also contacted me before the tour day and provided all details. Trusted and good service.
