Full day tour to Sigiriya and Dambulla from Kandy with Mohamed
Overall it was a great experience, Mohamed, our guide, was very eager to fit our needs and fulfill our wishes.
We were very lucky to visit at a very calm time in regard of the amount of tourists. Despite the troublesome times we were provided with a smooth journey to and from the historic sights, which righteously are declared UNESCO world heritage sites.
While it is quite a long drive from Kandy to the sights our guide made sure we would not get bored and offered several stops along the way. Some of these seemed to primarily depend on tourists and therefore prices should be heavily negotiated!

Excellent day trip from Kandy.
Excellent well organised day trip in a nearly new air conditioned car with driver Mohamed Shammy who was a careful and considerate driver who spoke good English and was very polite, friendly and informative. Pick up and drop off was from our hotel and communication via Whatsapp was functional. Would have no hesitation in recommending and the next day we used the same company to drive us back to Colombo with another good driver Mr Nafeez.

Truly wonderful excursion
My wonderful guide Mohamed and his assistant Shyam did their best to make my last full day in Sri Lanka an unforgettable and enjoyable experience!
Visiting historically important sites was wonderful, but Mohamed was thoughtful to provide a glimpse into local cultures for me between the visits to those sites. I am very much grateful to him for doing that. This one day trip will remain in my mind whenever I think about Sri Lanka.
Operator response
Thank you so much for your kind words. It truly means a lot to us. Mohamed and Shyam will be very happy to hear this feedback.
We’re glad your last day in Sri Lanka was memorable and we hope those beautiful memories stay with you forever.
Wishing you safe travels and hoping to welcome you again in Sri Lanka!

Wonderful, packed sightseeing day
Our excellent guide Mohamed was super friendly and so helpful. He couldn’t do enough to help us and gave us lots of information. He even kept stopping at his favourite places along the way to buy lots of Sri Lankan delicacies both savoury and sweet, always insisting he paid. The Hindu temple and Dambulla cave was stunning and the very steep climb up the Siguriya rock was well worth it, although not for the fainted hearted. Quite a long, full day but we really wanted to see it all so we’re very happy with the service. We will definitely sleep well tonight. Thank you Mohamed!!
