    I found the visit to Dambulla Cave Temple somewhat underwhelming, and the repeated attempts to squeeze rupees out of us tourists irritating and tainted the visit. Appreciate that money is needed to maintain a historic site like this, but I'd rather pay more on the door and be left alone inside! Sigiriya Rock did not disappoint, however. The climb is challenging - especially if you suffer from even mild vertigo - but the scenery is truly breathtaking, even before you reach the summit. Word of advice - make sure you bring a hat or a brolley - the sun was punishing on my climb and there’s not a lot of shade once you get going. Also - a shout out to my driver, Anthony who was excellent (as was the transport). Thank you, I had a terrific day.

    由於我這次是出差的關係並沒有兌換當地貨幣 ,所以這個全包價令你旅行期間幾乎全程不需 要支付任何額外費用。除了司機遲到半小時這 一點,整個行程都很棒。在我要求的時間早上 7點從酒店接我,並在晚上7點左右送我到機場 坐午夜航班回國。 兩個到訪過的地方都非常好,是你不應該錯過 的, 否則不要說你去過斯里蘭卡。記得要穿長褲或 裙,因為他們需要你蓋上膝蓋。在進入Dambulla Cave Temple的入口之前,您需要脫鞋。記得準備Rp25 鞋子的保管費。司機會帶你到入口並給你買 票, 之後就會返回者上等你。在錫吉里耶岩石景區 的入口區會有人問你是否需要導遊,但因為我 比較喜歡獨自自由地四處走走,所以我沒有問 他們收費要多少。 也許這次到訪是在上次炸彈恐襲之後不久,這 兩個景點的遊人都沒太多,這使反而使得我這 次旅程變得非常放鬆和安靜。

    コロンボ市内のホテルを早朝5時半出発、 ンブッラまでの道中で朝食セットをいただ 。ダンブッラには9時半着、洞窟寺院参観に 約1時間。その後黄金寺院に立ち寄り、シー ギリヤ到着は11時半。スリランカ観光最大の イライトであるライオンロック参観には2時 間半を要しました。その後昼食をいただき、 コロンボ空港まで送ってもらいました。
    休日であったったため、渋滞は全くなく、全 12時間のツアーでした。
    非常に新しいハイブリッドのトヨタアクシオ で、非常に快適な一日でした。また礼儀正し い運転手さんにも大感謝でした。
    155ドルの価値は多いにあります。

    So happy I got the chance to visit Sri Lanka: a beautiful small country with warm and welcoming people. Both Sigiriya rock and Dambulla Temple are must sees. From the capital, took us about 4h to reach Sigiriya by private deluxe mini-van. The history around Sigiriya is quite nice and the views are breathtaking. So are the more than 1000 steps to climb up to the top... All worth to see the view and the paintings in the caves.
    Dambulla temple is also a place not to be missed. The statues, the temples beneath the rocks, the monkeys...
    Our driver Mohammed did his best to drive us safely and comfortably in the long itinerary from Colombo. The guide in Sigiriya was also very knowledgeable and patient. 10 out of 10.

    I was staying in Colombo for a few days, and at the last minute booked this tour. For what other companies were trying to charge me, I got much more out of this one. My tour guide (Yogen) was exceptionally helpful and very informative. Once at Sigiriya he checked me into the park and cautioned me about what some people might do to try and swindle me. The sights were incredible, the food was delicious, and the guide was acceptional. Don't look at other tours, this is the one you want.

    The trip was fantastic. My drive/guide, Sugantan, was fantastic. I was traveling alone, and he graciously kept me company and was flexible enough to adapt the itinerary during the day. He was open and happy to entertain any questions I had about Sri Lanka.
