Kelum & Romindu: The Perfect Sri Lankan Guidesould use them again

Published on Feb, 2025

Sri Lanka by Car exceeded all our expectations. Our driver, Romindu, was fantastic - always punctual and  friendly,  He navigated the Sri Lankan roads with ease, making us feel safe and comfortable throughout the journey. Our tour guide, Kelum, truly brought Sri Lanka to life. His passion for his country was infectious, and he shared so much fascinating information about the history, culture, and wildlife. Kelum went above and beyond to ensure we had a memorable experience. The car itself was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. We were able to relax and enjoy the stunning scenery without any worries about transportation.

Full Day Sigiriya and Dambulla Tour with Yapa

Published on Jul, 2024

My partner and I did the Sigiriya Rock and Dambulla Cave Temple Day Tour from Kandy with Yapa. He made the day absolutely amazing! On the journey Yapa explained the layout of the Cave Temple and what we could expect, as well as the history and tradition surrounding the temple. Yapa also gave us a detailed description of the origins of the Sigiriya Rock site. Unfortunately, when we got to Sigiriya rock we realised that due to the day of our tour falling on a sacred full-moon day and a long weekend the rock was extremely busy. There were thousands of locals trying to climb the rock, so it would have taken three times as long to get to the top of the rock. Sadly, we decided we couldn’t wait this long to climb the rock. After communicating this with Yapa he felt bad that we didn’t get to experience it, so he made various suggestions for other things we could do. We ended up deciding to climb the neighbouring rock, Pidurangala Rock, which we believe was equally amazing. Yapa also came up the rock with us to guide us with the climb. The climb itself was very cool and the view from the top was essentially the same as what you would see from Sigiriya rock, whilst also having a view of the rock. Overall, Yapa did everything he could to make this day as interesting and rewarding for us as possible. We would 100% recommend having Yapa take you for a tour!

A perfect day

Published on Jan, 2024

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.

Great day!

Published on Dec, 2023

A great day with a great and informative guide. The drive from Kandy is about 2 hours, but our guide had lots of information to share along the way. Highly recommended!

Beautiful Sigiriya

Published on Nov, 2023

Thanks our guide Kit was great, he told us a lot of interesting facts about Sigiriya and Sri Lanka overall. The ride was pleasant, and ascenssion was not as difficult as it seemed. I definitely recommend this tour even for those travelling with little kids.
