We recently completed an amazing tour with 7b Holidays Sri Lanka and could not be happier. From the very first inquiry, their team was highly responsive and helpful. They built a custom itinerary that perfectly matched everything we wanted to see on the island.Our driver/guide was exceptional. He drove safely through the busy traffic, was always punctual, and shared great information about local history and culture. The accommodations they selected were excellent, and every transition from city to city went smoothly.If you are planning a trip to Sri Lanka, we highly recommend booking through them. They truly take the stress out of travel!
Amazing, The Lion Rock is beautiful, we climbed at dawn for sunrise, the stories are also amazing which out guide told to us
Great experience, our guide took the time to explain everything to us. And took great photos of us
Amazing experience! Would definitely recommend! Worth going to visit
Sigiriya Lion Rock is an incredible destination and one of the highlights of Sri Lanka. The climb is well worth the effort, with breathtaking views from the top and fascinating ancient ruins to explore. The frescoes, mirror wall, and lion's paws showcase the site's remarkable history and craftsmanship. The surrounding gardens are beautifully maintained, adding to the overall experience. I highly recommend visiting early in the morning to enjoy cooler weather and fewer crowds. A truly unforgettable place for history lovers, photographers, and anyone who enjoys spectacular scenery.
This was a once in a lifetime experience.
Visit with a French guide. A magnificent place. A view of a beautiful garden. A gentle ascent. A story, a true story. A must-do, I recommend it.
Sigiriya is the most beautiful place I have seen
Outstanding Experience Visiting the Sigiriya Rock Fortress. Beautiful Atmosphere, Rich History, and the Entire Tour was Handled with Absolute Professionalism and Comfort, A Must Visit Destination in Sri Lanka. "Admission is USD 35 for International Visitors. It Feels a Little Pricey. But it Includes Entry to Both the Meuseum and the Ancient Fortress."
Beautiful place but very difficult to physically climb the stairs. Which is equivalent to climbing 44 floors and 1200 steps.
