Must do and must see Sigiriya & Dambulla

Sigiriya & Dambulla is a must visit place of Srilanka. There is a lot of steps to walk but it's worthed. The view from the summit is amazing. The vehicles used by Lavingo Travels are top notch. The Chauffer is the best with great knowledge of the destination

Wonderful Experience!

Exceptional service and customer focused! Mr.Charith took me around for the tour, he was extremely professional, courteous and knowledgeable. We chatted along the way and I enjoyed his company. He also made a stop to the spice village which was not part of the itinerary. Highly recommended, they are an incredible travel agency.
