5.00This tour gives you a fantastic experience, where you get your own guide in both places. In addition a very attentive and service-minded driver.
Great experience.

5.00Very enjoyable experience. We were picked up from the hotel in kalutara on time, and were driven in a comfortable Toyota Camry with loads of bottled water, umbrellas available. The driver was extremely kind, holding doors for us, smiling every time, adjusting AC when necessary … We had guides waiting for us in siguirya and Dambulla, and it felt like a privilege because 90% of the other tourists did not have such dedicated guides. The driver took the pain to escort us up to the Dambulla temple, taking care of the umbrellas, the photos… and he was kind to stop at supermarkets and ATM when needed. The entrance tickets and guide fees where included and we were offered free lunch as promised ( which we declined because we wanted to eat at our resort). This tour was genuine, not a scam, and very professional. To add a last word, we were granted a free date change of the tour, although the official viator policy prohibits that. This flexibility was quietly valued from us .
don't get this trap. fake pricing for profit.

The wonder 💭 of the ancient world 🌎 and architecture worth seeing

5.00I can sum this up in a few words - want a challenge and see how fit you are? What a climb with views just breathtaking - you definitely won’t experience this again. And the history and the architecture of the ancient world just mind blowing 🤯. Read about this one of the world’s wonders. Breath taking views from the top and all the way to the decent.
1200 steps towards the summit

4.00If you are strong enough and have good knees you must definitely try it. Enjoy the rock while climbing Admire the craft from earlier century Preferred to climb in the evening to enjoy the setting sun and overwhelming sceneries.

The "Wow" tour
C4061INkateo,,Feb 27, 2025
- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00Five of us embarked on this adventure that we called the "wow" tour, simply for how many times we said "wow" in a single day. Sakun was amazing and organised an incredible day. We were on a cruise so on a very tight timeline however both Sakun and our wonderful driver Kalu packed in Sigiriya, Dambulla and a village tour AND most importantly had us back with time to spare. Sakun was very thorough and flexible when organising the tour, sending me photos of the car and driver so I knew who to look for. We had wonderfully knowledgeable guides at both Sigiriya and Dambulla. The village experience turned out to be a highlight, a beautiful trip across a lake, a private cooking experience making Okra curry and a delicious lunch. Our driver Kalu kept us safe on unpredictable roads and the cherry on top was seeing elephants on the roadside on the drive home. Kalu kindly stopped and allowed us to take our many, many photos.
Sigiriya Fort and Dambulla Rock temple trip
dadjana1996,,Sep 30, 2024

5.00Highly recommend trip to Sigiriya fort and Dambulla rock temple. We booked the trip from home via Bentota Travel Mart which included all entrance fees, guides and lunch. Ishan drove us safely to all the excursion and pointed out interesting things on the way. I would recommend to have a guide at Sigiriya fort as from just climbing up the fort by yourself you don't get the inside of the place. The guide was very knowledgeable and explained everything well. Just be aware there are lots of steps to climb. For the Dambulla rock temple we also had a guide so you could.understand the history behind the sculptures and various rooms. Highly recommend using Bentota Travel Mart for your excursions.
Lots of steps ut lobed jt

5.00Amazing experience but if you have a fear of heights you .ight need to think twice! There is 12000 steps to climb at the Fortress and when you go to temple there is another 250 so a great workout. All joking aside it is worth it
