Giro ciclistico di Sigiriya: esplora la vita del villaggio a Sigiriya e goditi un pranzo nel villaggio

Great village tour! We were between this cycling tour or another village tour recommended by our driver and we ended up going with this one - I’m glad we did! We booked it the evening before and it was just us two so got a a private tour which was nice. The best part was our tour guide, Chameera! He was so genuine and passionate about the area. He studied environmental studies at university and was very knowledgeable about wildlife and village life - we learned so much from him! The bikes worked fine, biked a total of about 7.5 miles (there were some a couple do semi bumpy terrain parts but if was fine). Felt very chill paced just cycling around the village while seeing lots of different birds. We are gluten free and eat no fish - this was noted and accommodated for at lunch thanks to our tour guide. Lunch was delicious and well balanced. It was one of those tours where my heart fell full afterwards - all due to having Chameera, so we got very lucky. We didn’t feel like just another number and he truly enjoyed touring us around. Highly recommend!

What a lovely way to explore Sigiriya! We had a tuk tuk arranged by the company to pick us up from our hotel and take us to the meeting point. There we met our guide and hopped on our bikes for a peaceful ride through the countryside. We stopped at a few temples and sites where our lovely guide explained the history of them. There were a few excellent viewpoints to take in the magnificent peaks! We then stopped in a village and visited a farm where we got to learn about the local agriculture and see some impressive crops. We helped make a salad which we enjoyed with a lovely lunch with the local family. Overall a very joyous half day adventure and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for something different to do in Sigiriya!

The cycle tour made it the best day of our trip so far. Our guide, Harsha, was so fun and incredibly knowledgeable about the history of the ruins we visited and about all of the wildlife we saw. And we encountered some amazing wildlife! I think my favorite part of the day was lunch. We rode to a small, tidy farm, owned and operated by one family and a few workers. The family hand made all of the chairs and tables that we sat at from recycled materials like tires, and made all of the utensils and dishes from coconut and bamboo. They were so creative and functional! The food was traditionally Sri Lankan and so delicious. Between the food, the family, and the setting, it's honestly one of the best lunches we've ever had. The ride was about 9 miles, all flat on dirt/gravel roads. We passed almost no traffic, which was nice. The bikes were not in the best shape, but the breaks worked and they got us to where we needed to go. The seats were adjustable so riding was comfortable for me with very short legs and my husband who has very long ones.

Very nice tour. Good guide and the family we where we had dinner was so loving❤️. We enjoy it a lot!
