        Great tour
        Excellent tour, our guide was very informative. The tuk tuk ride was fun and our driver safe, but very assertive on the road.

        Great experience with Sharmilan
        We have an amazing guide (Sharmilan), who took us around in the afternoon session around Colombo. He was very knowledgeable and allowed us to shuffle schedule and tailor to our preferences - we were able to skip some things or stay in some places for longer. Very friendly! The tour itself is a great opportunity to see the highlights and our guide pointed out more things we could explore in our own time. The lunch place was very clean and tasty!

        Great customer service
        We arranged the Tuk Tuk tour through WhatsApp, and the booking process was seamless. Ricky, our guide, provided an incredible experience. He was punctual, informative, and highly accommodating, ensuring our family felt comfortable throughout. Exploring Colombo with him was a highlight of our trip, and we highly recommend this tour!

        Excellent Tour with a very knowledgeable guide
        We have just returned from an excellent 4 hour tour around Columbo. There was an initial problem with our booking which was sorted out following a telephone call to the local number provided. As a result, our trip commenced an hour later than booked. Our guide Ricci however was wonderful and the tour was comprehensive and very interesting. We had great local food for lunch and we felt very well looked after. Ricci is highly recommended. Thanks for a great afternoon 😀

        Hassle- Free
        Glad that I booked a Colombo tour that comes with lots of inclusions in the tour package. It was less hassle because they took care of everything for me. I wouldn’t need to go through the hassle of finding restos to eat because meals were already provided. We went to many beautiful places around Colombo, and the nicest stop for me was the Temples. It was serene and depicted rich Sri Lankan traditions. Shopping around Manning market also feels safe because I have our tour guides with me. They are knowledgeable and have the best and trusted suggestions. Booking a tour with them was the nicest trip decision for me.

        Wonderful Half Day Colombo City Tour (despite the rain!)
        The half day Colombo City Tour with Mr Ricky was wonderful. The sights were awesome and I really appreciated Mr Ricky's commentary and enthusiasm for his home city. It was raining quite heavily, but Mr Ricky made sure I could still enjoy the sights by pulling side-flaps of the tuk tuk and holding an umbrella over me while I got in and out and took photos. I am very glad I did this tour and highly recommend it.

        We regret booking this tour
        Sadly, the tour didn’t meet my expectations. The guide’s English was hard to understand, and the ride was uncomfortable and noisy. The stops were too quick, and we didn’t have enough time to enjoy any of the sights.

        Great trip down the western coast of Sri Lanka
        I had a fantastic day on this tour, and was treated to many different sights and experiences. The boat cruise was a specific highlight, and I also enjoyed visiting the Galle Fort. The driver and guide were great fun, and made sure I was comfortable and happy at all times. I’m so glad I embarked on this tour, and would highly recommend it!

      The Sri Lanka itinerary is so perfect, special thanks to our tour guide Lenin, he made it easy to make a cake on the walk. I really freak out on the knowledge he possesses. And by coming to the artistic work on Sigiriya, mind-blowing artwork, you just keep on pausing over the sculptures, alluring painting and art moments, surrounded with greenery . We engaged with local people over there and it was quite easy to Grated coconut in the traditional method reminds me of the nature friendly living of our ancestors. A special mention to all those Gardens beautifully arranged and decorated.

      Simply breathtaking! The Sigiriya tour was fantastic. I just enjoyed the rock climb. The pace of
      life in this region is generally slower and more connected to nature. If you want to take a break
      from the daily hustle, this is the place to go. I was not too sure if I should take this trip but later I
      decided to go as I have a free day before I left Sri Lanka. Take my word it is a must see
      historical wonders and a hidden gem. I will cherish the memories forever!

      It was definitely worth visiting Sigiriya on my recent visit. Sri Lankan ancestors' greatest works at their highest echelon. It is a lovely location to visit.With a group of pals, I traveled to this incredible country.

      Our stay was nothing short of royal everything at ease.

      Our tour guide Mr. Lenin was extremely knowledgeable and accommodating to all our base doubts. Show stealer was that lion rock painting. It's absolutely stunning to watch those Moving in the clouds as portraits of breathtakingly gorgeous ladies.The team is professional and meticulous in their attention to detail.
      Great work keep rocking

      If you want to try out some good vacations accompanied by a serene temple in Sri Lanka then Sirigiya is all out for you. We had our vacation spent at an astonishing temple with an alluring artistic work leaving you to experience all those great moments with the Fortress and Palace together in a single place. That lion paw is a terrific site. Lenin's know-how on each place and his answers on every query leave you with satisfaction. You get an opportunity to be with nature as such. I definitely recommend Lenin and his team to my friend's and family.

      If you are looking out for an ideal tour, in Sri Lanka Sigiriya is for those people. Lenin, our driver and guide, was extremely passionate, informed, helpful, and presented us with the extreme beauty of Sigiriya.

      Lenin traveled with us around Sigiriya, showing us both local spots and tourist attractions. Sigiriya has a lot to offer from sculpture works to beautifully planned and executed Gardens. There are many gardens. Viewing it from the top of Sigiriya, those top views are fascinating.
      These vivacious team were professional, helpful, and quick to respond to our needs and wishes. Very sociable and well-organized.

      Another amazing tour organised by Kavi which he customised to suit my preferences (to also transit from Colombo to Kandy) whilst seeing Sigiriya, hiking pidurangala rock, cave temple, delicious local lunch, seeing a beautiful local river and finishing up in Kandy. Kavi guided the Pidurangala hike with the driver Samir, they also came into Sigiriya and hiked with me (although they didn't have too and had to pay their own entry fees). Kavi really just wants to share his beautiful country and its history with his visitors. Thank you again Kavi!

      I was on vacation to Sri Lanka, a must try destination if you have preferred an archeological combined adventure trip. As Sirigiya, a wonderful place combined with exotic beauty, not only the site fascinates you all the way, but must say all 370 km astonishes us by its beauty. I enjoyed my Sigiriya trip to the core. If anyone wants to explore please contact tour by Lenin. He was an encyclopedia who answered all our questions which created more enthusiasm to us. Lots of enjoyable moments with people over there, a lot of memories to cherish for a lifetime. Happy us

      Loved all the elephants and monkeys and I will be booking another Travel with Lenin so I hope you offer a discount for subsequent bookings.” Very nice and interesting tour to get a first Impression of the country, especially the mountains and the national park were very nice. Very nice was also the extra lunch at local village with Bullock cart ride, Sigiriya rock , Dambulla cave Temple ,Habarana jungle tour was very nice.

      My visit to Sri Lanka last week to Sigiriya was one of the best tours which gave me a lifetime experience, I must say all in one package. It's been an Archeological trip, an adventurous tour, nature loving and peculiar sight seeing and what not. I adored each and every minute of my Sigiriya stay. Best part being with taking part in day to day activities of Sri Lankan farmers very friendly explained everything smiling with whole lot of patience. I even harvested their produce, and holding the sickle gave me goosebumps. Special thanks to Lenin and team for making our stay a memorable one.
