    We did the tour do Dambulla cave temple - Sigiriya - Minneriya National Park and we had an amazing time! Our driver Riz was fantastic, spoke excellent english and was a well travelled experienced tour guide. It felt like we knew each other already after a couple of minutes in the car. Minneriya National Park was the highlight of the tour as were lucky to see lots of elephants up very close.

    We were so lucky to start our journey early in the morning from Negombo hotel. We could see lots of elephants at the beginning of the safari. Such an awesome experience. That's the highlight of our jeep safari. Addition to that we saw many endemic birds which we are not aware of. But still it was really interesting to see them and get some pictures of them. Deers and wild buffalos are very common in the park, we saw them at every single place we stopped. Less crowd and full day safari is the best way to discover the beauty of the park. Highly recommend it.

    I had an absolutely amazing time with my guide Dilshan. He helped shape the tour accordingly to my wishes. My main objective was to visit Sigiriya, which was definitely worth the effort. I would highly recommend!

    We booked tickets for the train trip from Kandy to Ella with Mahaweli Tours. I can recommend this to everyone. The process was very easy, we bought tickets on TripAdvisor. The contact we had after booking via WhatsApp with Geesara was very pleasant. The train tickets were delivered to our hotel the very morning. When we woke up, the train tickets were at the reception desk. We had first-class tickets, reserved seats, and it was perfect. There was room for our suitcases. Air conditioning was something we really appreciated and hadn't thought of before, and we could walk to the open door in first class for pictures whenever we wanted. The ride was one of a lifetime and the time went very fast. We had the train from 11 and this train was less crowded, for us this was perfect. We even watched the sunset from the train and it was spectacular. We can recommend Mahaweli Tours and you can trust them. I worried a little bit but they delivered our tickets on time.

    It was really good. Shalika (sorry if I spell wrong) was amazing. This tour company is great. Not so many animals on the safari but again nature is just like that and it depends on luck. The village tour was great. Car was the most comfortable one we have sat in in Sri Lanka.

    Climbing sigiriya nowadays just seems like a joke with the US$36 entry fee. We expressed our concerns to Shalika and he quickly arranged an alternative itinerary for us which was really good.

    We added a village tour instead. They call it a bull cart safari but that is nonsense. It is just a 1km ride in a bull cart down the main road. No point putting it in the village tour tbh. The boat ride was great. Again, it is hardly a safari and you don't see any animals. But at least it was relaxing to be out on the river and our boatman even showed us some handmade necklaces which were nice. The highlight of the village tour had to be the village cooking demo and food tasting. Overall the village tour and climb of Pidurangala were great.

    Bring extra cash because the entry fees do add up to be an expensive day.

    Lasantha was very timely, reliable and friendly! We spent a whole day together touring around Kandy, customizing the day just for us. Temples, tours and shopping. He was also available to drive us to the airport from Kandy which was a relief. Do not hesitate to book him for your trip!

    Where do I start?! Ended up being a solo trip but was lucky enough to have Lalith as my guide who made feel right at home.
    Stopped off for some delicious local breakfast along the way, checked out Dambulla cave temple and saw heaps of monkeys. Lions rock in sigiriya was sick and Lalith helped me get tickets and pointed me in the right direction. Finished off with a coffee at the bottom of sigiriya rock, wholesome day indeed.

    cheers Lalith!

    The hole trip was amazing, and our guide Ruwan made it all worth it. He was a excellent driver and guide. The review only gets 5 stars because he made it a 5 star trip. He thought of everything, he even brought embrellas for us.

    We had such a great experience with Ranees and his family! I have rarely met such lovely people who would do anything to make you feel at home.

    They were very spontaneous and flexibel with their receipes. They could easily make it vegan and even left out some important spices because of my intolerances. But it was still the best sri lankan Rice & Curry I have had during my whole stay (3 weeks!).

    I really enjoyed visiting the market and seeing all different kinds of vegetables they use in Sri Lanka. Ranees even got me some special medicine for my stomache.

    I just know that my money is well invested here.
