Our day trip to Dambulla and Sigiriya rock was one of the 5 day trips organised by Bentota Trvale Mart. Before our trip to Sri Lanka I had researched and had spoken to other tour operators but I chose Sam as I found him very professional and he is able to quickly grasp the kind of experience one is seeking and accordingly recommend and customise tours. We were a family of 2 adults and 2 children and we thoroughly enjoyed this and other trips. The attractions at Dambulla and Sigiriya are indeed awesome consisting of rock temples, frescos and palaces over 2000 years old. We found the site very well maintained. We also had a village visit on the way back and this was something of a highlight for us. If you are doing this trip I highly recommend you ask Sam to put this as add on. The arrangements for the trip were simply perfect; comfortable A/c van, always on time, and our driver Dinesh communicated and looked after us very well.jilalina

Unser Fahrer Dinesh hat uns in einem klimatisierten Fahrzeug abgeholt. Auf dem Weg zur Sehenswürdigkeit haben wir in einem Hotel ein leckeres Frühstück mit Buffet bekommen. Anschließend sind wir zum Felsen gefahren und wurden vor Ort einem Guide zugewiesen. Der Ausblick auf dem Felsen war toll und sehenswert. Da wir so früh an dem Felsen angekommen sind, waren beim Aufstieg noch wenig andere Touristen. Beim Abstieg war deutlich zu merken, dass viele Touristen kommen und es wurde voll. Es lohnt sich also, so früh dort zu sein. Nach dem Felsen sind wir noch zu einer Holzfabrik, einem Stoffladen und einem schönen Tempel gefahren. Vor der Rückfahrt gab es noch ein leckeres Mittagessen. Die Tour ist auf jeden Fall zu empfehlen !Road16599772307

This tour is a must do. We booked the tour with Sam, who was truly professional, he talked us through the day and kept us up-to-date with all of the information we needed via WhatsApp. The guide for the day, Dinesh, was brilliant - knowledgeable, courteous and all-round a great host. Despite the long day, Dinesh was always full of energy and enthusiasm which helped to make the day so memorable. Sigiriya is breathtaking, 200m tall and surrounded by beautiful gardens and pools. We arrived at around 8 am, before the majority of the crowds arrived - Dinesh provided us with cold water and a local guide, who talked us through the history of the site. The walk to the top is tough but enjoyable and there are lots of opportunities to stop for a break. Once at the top the views are breathtaking - a 360 view of the surrounding areas, amazing scenery. Dinesh then arranged for us to visit a local spice garden and workshop for handmade wooden cravings, both were really interesting and gave us an insight into some local businesses. After this, traveled to Dambulla via a local restaurant where we had a great lunch, the temple itself is situated in the hill with more steps to be climbed, beware you will need to have your knees and shoulders covered so bring the right clothing. Once we entered the temple, it is steeped in history and has some beautiful caves with some amazing statues inside of them. Overall we had a fantastic day, I would thoroughly recommend this tour and company! Thank you to Sam and Dinesh for organizing a truly unforgettable great day.Kevinharde

Es war ein super Ausflug, der alle Erwartungen übertroffen hat. Kontakt mit dem Anbieter lief problemlos los über WhatsApp. Die Reisegruppe bestand tatsächlich nur aus uns 2 und einem gut englisch sprechenden Fahrer. Der Fahrer holte uns beide in einem recht neuwertigen Toyota ab und brachte uns ohne Umwege nach Sigiriya. Im Verlauf der Reise bot er uns an auf Wunsch weitere Stationen anzufahren oder Pausen einzulegen. In Sigiriya und Dambulla wartete dann jeweils ein gut Englisch und etwas Deutsch sprechenender Guide. Es passte einfach alles.
