Polonnaruwa-dagtour met lunch door Mahaweli

We had a great day. Our guide listened to what we wanted to do and see.

The excursion was wonderful. A guide tour is necessary for all of the explanation of the temples, it was very interesting. Pradeep (our taxi driver) was very chatty on the journey so we had a good laugh. I enjoy photography so I could be a bit tricky with the way of taking pictures, he was very patient and took amazing pictures of us. He was taking us everywhere and waiting until we finished to then take us to another point, that was very helpful because we are not staying a long time in Sri Lanka so we wanted to see most of it in a short time. The included lunch was very tasty and typical Sri Lankan food, we tried everything in the buffet. Moreover, he bought us some lychees to try, they were brilliant. The day went so quick and at the end it felt like we were doing a trip with a friend instead of an acquaintance.

Absolutely fantastic! Our driver, Pradeep, was polite and so very friendly!! We had a lovely conversation on the 2 hour journey which made the time fly by and he still claims that his English isn't very good (I've worked with British people with less vocabulary than him). Pradeep was always willing to take a picture for us and if we wanted a different picture because our feet were cut, he was eager to take it again for us. The tour itself was really interesting and I'm so glad we had someone explaining it all to us in brief. They are quick to respond to questions and their prices feel reasonable. Thank you so much Pradeep and his office for all their assistance. When we come back to Sri Lanka, we will be in touch again.

We really enjoyed this tour (and the one to Ella the day before with the same company and the same driver Nilanka)! It was very well organised but also gave us the freedom to stop whenever we wished. AirCon car, excellent and safe driving, delicious lunch! The tour guide in Polannaruwa was extremely knowledgeable. Highly recommended, will travel with them again next time we’re in Sri Lanka:)

Our driver was not so good at English, but we managed to communicate anyway. We had a guide in Polonnaruwa who was very good. He was very knowledgeable and was thorough. We could feel that he also was very interested in the place. We saw all the famous buildings/ruins and many more things. The lunch is a bit late, so maybe bring a little snack.

I loved seeing the beautiful sites around central Sri Lanka. Prasad was quick at getting back to me by email and helped arrange a custom tour to suit my interests. On the first day my driver Mangele picked me up in Kandy and showed me Hindu temple at Matale which was so beautiful. When I didn't like the first restaurant option, he did a great job of finding me a great organic buffet that I loved, called Tropical Village. I hiked up to see the Cave Temples of Dambulla. Then explored the ancient ruins of Polonuwara. The second day I climbed Sigiriya Rock and then went on a mini safari to Minneriya National Park and saw elephants, peacocks, and eagles.

We went on two tours with this company. Both drivers were very good and they were long journeys. They were safe drivers given the amount of traffic on the roads. They ensured enough stops to eat and took us to very good eating places. The cost of the tours were very reasonable compared to other companies we looked at.
